On a related note: I saw four police cars and about a dozen cops arresting a guy and interviewing witnesses on the corner of 12th and B last night around 6:30... Anyone know what that was all about?

I'm never out and about on my own past 10PM at night but if these muggings occurred in broad daylight then I'm freaked and relieved the guy was caught!
