Actually my own sister corrected me when I said I was burgled. She said the correct term is burglarized.

While pawn shops are currently required to report all purchases to the police department, consignment stores and metal recyclers are not. The legislation would create the same reporting requirement for used good dealers and scrap recyclers, and require businesses to photograph all purchased items. Businesses that accept donated used goods for resale are exempt.
Along with providing all purchase data to the police department, used goods businesses will now be required to comply with the department’s No Buy List, which includes the names of over 1900 criminals previously convicted of property crimes, who are prohibited from selling items to used goods dealers, pawn shops, or metal recyclers.
I wonder if the girl in Dave's avatar is on that list and if there is a way to look it up.

I just saw this story and immediately thought of this thread since it reminded me of the picture you posted from the description in the story.Did you ever get closure from your incident?

My Ballard reader Avril McLane wrote to tell us about a woman who stole mail from her home in Ballard around 1 p.m. this afternoon. She lives in a house just off 15th Ave NW and NW 61st St, and says she saw a woman in her late 20s, early 30s with blond shoulder-length hair and bright pink knit ski cap stealing mail from her house. “She was carrying a big tote bag that looked like it was stuffed with other people’s mail,” McLane writes.
