There is an abandoned vehicle in front of 600 W. Howe St. It has been parked the wrong way on the street for at least a month (or longer). It was just recently issued a parking violation ticket. It's a Ford SUV - License plate is 217DBF. No one has interacted with this car since it first showed up. It would be great if it could be removed - parking can be at a premium on the street. Thank you!
This week we discovered years of text messages related to prostitution on a relative's mobile phone. He is elderly and transitioning to a care home, the texts were found while getting things in order. Many were very recent (within days). The texts were related specifically to the owners of Indiana-based Asian massage parlors. The bother or close relative of the owner of a massage parlor busted in Columbus, IN owns a similar place, Lemongrass Foot Spa, 104 S Pete Ellis Dr, Bloomington, IN 47408: https://fox59.com/news/columbus-police-shut-down-massage-parlor-after-serving-warrant-for-alleged-prostitution/ Like the Columbus location, the establishment changed its name after operating under the same name as the Columbus location. Prior reviews online make clear that the business was a front for prostitution as the reviewers described the services in terms that would be generally understood to be "Happy Endings." In addition to prostitution, many of the women seem to participate in activities that border on, or may actually be, elder abuse, fraud (specifically address fraud), and theft. Based on what we've seen in the text messages, we believe some may also be here illegally. Obviously, I cannot say with certainty that crimes are currently being committed - but, that's where an investigation is needed. And, this is a where-there's-smoke-there's-fire situation. I've implored the people who've discovered this to turn it over to assist in an investigation, but it is a sensitive matter for the family. I do hope that this information is taken seriously and that some inquiry can be made to ensure any illegalities are addressed.

Rogers Remodeling has been playing music loud enough for me to hear in my house with the windows shut since May 2025 when they began construction on my neighbor, Alex Cartwright's house. I have asked the workers and Mr. Cartwright to respect the Bloomington Noise Ordinance. I have read the ordinance and would like further information about what else can be done. For example, could they be asked to wear headphones? Could the music be played inside instead of outside? Could they turn off the music when they go to lunch? Could they move the boom box away from my window? Often the music starts as early as 6:45 am when the worker arrive in their trucks in the morning.
I lost my black Louis Vuitton purse walking at night south of IU Bloomingtons campus. It has all my belongings inside of it if anyone turned in a purse.
