9:42 a.m. An officer met at the station with a woman who had found an unused condom on her bedroom floor the night before. The woman said that she lives alone and that she does not use condoms, so she was concerned that somebody had snuck into her home. The woman said that she had left a kitchen window open before heading to work early that morning. She said that there were no signs of forced entry, and all the doors were locked. The woman said that nothing appeared to be missing, and nothing had been moved around. The officer inquired as to whether there were any cameras that might have been facing the kitchen window, and the woman said that there were not. The officer suggested that, in addition to closing all windows and doors before leaving, she could consider installing cameras. She was advised to contact police if she noticed any sign of forced entry into her home again.
1:53 p.m. An officer was dispatched to Lincoln Park to investigate a report of suspected vandalism. He was met by a resident who showed the officer some minor damage to his backyard fence, which he thought might have stemmed from a verbal altercation with his neighbors, though he was unsure what caused the damage. Another theory was that the neighbors’ children, who had been playing outside, might have caused it. The officer observed a small piece of the top of the fence broken off, which was laying on the resident’s patio table. The resident said he did not want to escalate the situation and just wanted the incident documented.

He said that he did not want to get in the car with his older brother, who was upset at him. The older brother explained that his sibling did not have permission to be out, nor had he told anyone he was going out, which worried his mother. The older brother expressed doubt that his younger brother had lost his phone, instead believing he had just been rejecting the family’s calls. The younger brother eventually agreed to get in the car and not yell at his brother once they drove away.

He said he would instruct his friend as to how to secure the building.
