[Highland Park] pet sitter needed
by mratliff＠email.unc.edu 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Hello! I am new here to Pittsburgh and I would like to find someone who can look after my pets. I am hoping to go and see my boyfriend who is studying in Scotland over the holidays. I don't have exact dates yet, since I can't buy a plane ticket until I know that someone can keep them for me! I have two pets...a 2 year old dog named Scout and a 4 year old cat named Fiona. Scout is a 33 1/2 pound Beagle that I think is mixed with a Shepherd (like a Whippet in size). I don't have enough money to board them (plus I think it is kind of cruel) so I was hoping that someone could foster them for me while I was away. I am willing to pay, but I am not sure how much yet, so I thought we could talk about it. I thought it might be a nice job for an older high school student, a college student home for break, or even a family that is thinking about getting pets. If you or anyone you know that is trustworthy is interested, please email me at mratliff(a)email.unc.edu Thanks!

[Highland Park] Armed Robber and Other Unusual Events
by DeVito, Louis 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Does anyone know if the police caught the armed robber suspect they were looking for on Sunday? A Police officer asked if I saw a red headed adult white male on a kids' bike. This person had just committed an armed robbery on Negley Avenue. The suspect was wearing a light blue flannel shirt, and pants which were short on him. The suspect had a mask on which covered most of his face. The officer said you would recognize him because of the kid bike his was on. Also, this morning I found lawn equipment in my yard that belonged to my neighbor. I am assuming that someone was attempting to steal the equipment from his garage but got scared and put them behind my hedges. The incident occurred in the 1200 block of Farragut Street. =================================================================================== CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
