On Northwest 64th Street, a woman failed to lock her door while she was outside gardening. At one point she looked up and saw a well-dressed Hispanic man, aged 30-50, with curly short black hair walking away from her front door. Going inside, she discovered that her purse had been moved and her wallet was missing.

Just before 8 p.m. on Thursday night, near 24th and Northwest 56th, a couple had just left their parked car when a Hispanic male in his 20s, 5 feet 4 inches with a thin build and baseball cap approached and began shouting obscenities. He pulled a handgun from his pants pocket, and yelled, “I'm a gangster. I'll F*#@ you up.” After shoving the gun in his waistband, he walked away...but not before turning and brandishing the gun at the pair a second time. An area check turned up nothing.
