Heather emailed us this morning about a guy trying to peek in an apartment window:
I just wanted to let you know that there was a peeping tom early this morning around 2:45 am at the apartments on 50th and Evanston across from the zoo. A neighbor was taking his dog out and caught the guy – large bald man in the bush peering into an apartment and yelled very loudly at him to alert others in the building. The neighbor thought that the man was going to attack him but I think because the neighbor has a large dog the man was scared off and ran down 50th. The neighbor tried to chase the man but was unable to catch him and the police were called.
I know right now with the heat people are leaving their windows and blinds open – I just want everyone to be aware that this “tom” is still out there.

Sounds like one of the auto-eroticizing monkeys got out again.

It’s been a long time, but when I lived in that area about 5-6 years ago, we had a recurrent problem with a peeping tom. He was a large man who wore a black hoodie and I would catch him looking into my basement apartment window. He did this to my neighbors as well. When caught, he would just walk away. I called the cops several times but there was little they could do since they never caught him. However, a few months later someone posted flyers around the neighborhood that he had been caught and arrested. Maybe the police still have a record on this guy and whether he lives in the neighborhood?

Could the man be a burglar?

Wasn’t there a big bald guy trying to lure a little girl last week? Same person?

Teryl – I think the luring suspect was big, but they said he had a grey hair.

Peeping Tom? Really? Someone looking in windows at 2:45am is a BURGLAR not a peeping Tom. If there were college co-eds in there having a topless pillow fight, THAT’D be a peeping tom! Of course, if he were wearing a trenchcoat with nothing else on, that would be worth mentioning, in which case I would lean towards peeping tom again

Anymore sightings of the peeper?

Does it really matter – peeping tom or burglar….it’s still creepy and disturbing.
