My purse contained cash, credit cards, my wallet (with my new driver's license!), an iPhone,  and the keys to my office. Somehow I forgot to take my purse in the house when I got home at 7pm and when I came back out to my car FOURTEEN HOURS LATER this is the state I found my car...

Surprised? What did you expect? ;)

With all of the negative tweeting surrounding "Southeast" and our east of the river neighborhoods I thought it would be nice to share a pleasant experience I had just last month in my own neighborhood of Congress Heights. While I wouldn't recommend making a practice of leaving one's valuables on the front seat of a car in any neighborhood I thought it would be nice to share just one of my many happy (and crime-free) experiences living and working in "Southeast."

If you are inspired to spread the good (or at least less negative) word about east of the river neighborhoods go HERE to read what I do when I see derogatory tweets about the Anacostia neighborhood and Southeast DC in general.
