When I was robbed last year of my purse (and fought off my attackers)
one of the responding police officers was a woman who said she had worked
under cover here and was never bothered by anyone!

Emil,

Thank you for posting this episode/incident/story.

When I moved here 12 years ago, my car was broken into twice.

I've been fortunate that nothing has happened since; the area is much much
better now.

No one on my block (2700 Calvert) had anything stolen front or back this
summer, at least not that I'm aware of.

Christine Gray

So I happened to meet a woman police officer out in front of
3036 Guilford this afternoon.  She was talking to a couple
interested in buying a house in C.V.  (3036 belongs to
Darlene H. and is up for auction.)  The officer said this
was a pretty safe neighborhood.  "I spent three nights
on the corner this summer trying to get robbed" -- no luck.

She explained: she was undercover, just hanging out at the
corner of 31st and Guilford to see if she would get robbed.
("Do you remember a blonde hanging out on the corner
this summer waiting for a ride?" she said.)
She says neighbors were really nice.  Folks kept offering to
help her.  She said she was waiting for a ride.  She said
people were offering to let her use their phone, offering
her cold drinks.  She finally told one persistent neighbor
that she was undercover.  The woman said "Oh, then I guess
I shouldn't stick around."  The officer replied "Well, not
unless you want to get robbed with me."

She never got robbed!  If only things were always that easy.

--Emil
