UPDATE: Police Identify More Stolen Art

Evanston Police have released information on a print that was among the four items of artwork stolen from an elderly couple last week.

Updated as of 6:30 p.m. on April 19.

Evanston Police have two actual photos of the artwork taken during April 13's burglary.

"Detectives were able to obtain two old family photographs late in the day, showing the two pieces or artwork taken from the residence last week in the 2200 block of Central St.," according to an updated police statement.

You're right, Patch. This post is barely literate.

The writer of the post is illiterate....that is clear. The Evanston Police, in general, do a greatRead More job in this community. There ought be a new category created specifically for membership in a gang that has demonstrated committed acts of violence...it goes back to the first smart thing which Mark Kirk ever said which was locking up each and every one of the 18.5K members of the Gangster Disciples. The second thing that can be done is that each and every law abiding Evanston resident that is legally able to do so should avail themselves of the right to obtain a new Illinois Concealed Carry Permit for a handgun. An armed society is a polite society.
