Update to this story.
Maria Alarcon and her son, Anthony Lopez, who live two doors away on Fremont, said the woman, whom they'd often seen working on her yard and house, had recently knocked on their door needing help after a break-in.

"She was crying," Alarcon said. "She said, 'They want to rob me. Help me, help me. I need to call police.'" Burglars had taken her phone, Alarcon said.

This was her second home invasion.

Please, learn from the misfortunes of others. Do what you can to keep yourselves safe.

Man! Since I don't have a copy of MPD weekly highlights to search for the prior incident, I started looking at the 4th precinct crime maps for the past couple months to see if there was an obvious incident recorded on that same corner (37th and Fremont N). I didn't spot it, but damn if there's a lot of bad stuff going down in that neighborhood. Poor lady.
