Circulating today on the Heights neighborhood e-mail list:

At 3:40 this morning, my husband caught 2 white males in their early 20’s standing in the middle of our 16 year old son’s bedroom. He was able to wrestle one of them to the ground in the backyard. The other one got away in a maroon SUV. An ipod, a gameboy and car keys were taken from the desk 3 feet from where our son was sleeping. While waiting for police to arrive my husband questioned and beat the burglar until he was crying for the police to come rescue him.
