Without a picture of the stolen artwork, tracking the prints and paints could prove difficult.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations has offered Evanston police its assistance in solving last week’s robbery in which three men reportedly stole upwards of $200,000 in art from an Evanston couple after knocking them to the ground and restraining them with duct tape. Evanston police spokesperson Cmdr. Jay Parrott said the bureau contacted the department to offer help in tracking down the stolen art. “[The FBI has] a team of individuals who deal specifically in stolen artwork and we just thought it would be a good idea,” said Evanston police spokesperson Cmdr. Jay Parrott. “They reached out to us when they became aware of the incident and we advised them of what was taken. However, the big issue is trying to get the actual paintings …

Friday's terror plot, aimed at two Jewish locations in Chicago, was only "narrowly averted" and the Jewish community of the North Shore reacts.
UPDATE: Friday U.S. and international authorities intercepted two U.S.-bound packages containing explosive material while aboard two cargo planes. The packages were addressed to unnamed Chicago locations, which were later revealed to be a Jewish community center and synagogue. Despite this, the Jewish community in Evanston remains unshaken. As members of the Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation entered their synagogue Saturday for Shabbat services, the day was like any other. There was no extra security outside of the worship center on Dodge Avenue and the entrance doors were unlocked, welcoming congregants and visitors. "Basically, we're not scared," said Shirley Gould, a member of the congregation. That seemed to be the …

Back to School. Again.
Thursday morning at 9 a.m., Nichols Middle School parents were briefed by multiple City and School District 65 staff about the pipe bomb incident earlier in the week. Speakers included the Superintendent and Asst. Superintendent and Communications Director and Head of Buildings & Grounds of D65, Police Chief, Fire Chief, Mayor, School Board members, 4th Ward Alderman and School Principal.

Here's what I gathered at the meeting in the Nichols Middle School library this morning. The tone of the meeting was one of anxious anticipation to get answers. WHAT happened? WHY here? WHAT'S still …
