ARLINGTON, Va. (WKRG) — A man in Virginia might be the luckiest break-in victim in America. After returning from a trip, the guy noticed someone had been in his apartment. But here’s where things get weird. Nothing was missing, but someone had cleaned his apartment. The crime — although some might contend this wasn’t a crime but a blessing — was reported early Monday morning . Here’s how it was entered on Arlington County’s daily crime report website : UNLAWFUL ENTRY,  2017-08080001, 1500 block of Clarendon Boulevard. At approximately 12:03 a.m. on August 7, police were dispatched to the report of suspicious circumstances. A resident returning home from a trip discovered their apartment had been cleaned and items moved around but nothing appeared to be missing. There is no suspect description. The man assured police that he didn’t have a maid or anything. So for now, this “unlawful cleaning” remains a mystery. Share this: Related Posts Advertisement

NEW YORK, NY — In the summer of 1977, New York City was — literally and figuratively — on fire. It was the summer of disco fever, of Studio 54. It was the summer of Yankees mania. It was the summer that catapulted Ed Koch to City Hall. And in mid-July, it turned into the summer of darkness, when an epic, five-borough power outage — deemed an "act of God" by Con Ed — plunged the city into two days of total blackout. Airports shut down. News stations went off the air. Thousands were stuck in underground subway tunnels . Meanwhile, in the streets, the down-and-out — at their breaking point after years of municipal layoffs and a steady surge in violent crime — rioted and looted with abandon. Arsonists reportedly set more than 1,000 fires across the city in a single day. The Bronx, it would later be said, was burning. It was also the Summer of Sam. Want more local news?
