You can file a police report and the police will get the same footage, but IME, they might not share it with you. You should probably file a police report too.
Note that those cameras pan. It might not have been pointed in the direction of the incident when it happened unfortunately.

These cameras record video and the city has access to that video. You can get a copy of it by filing a FOIA with the city.
- Go here
- Click on "Request a public record"
- Click on "Submit a public records request to the city of Boston"
- Create an account/log in
- Submit a request. Use something like the following for the body of the request:
>Recorded footage from video/traffic cameras on Huntington Ave between the Fire Department and Sweeny Field, and especially at the Ruggles Street Intersection. Include video from [TIME] Eastern Standard Time [DATE] to [TIME] Eastern Standard Time the same day. Make the footage available in an industry standard format, such as MP4. Thank you.
Select "BPD Video Evidence Unit", "Public Records", and "Transportation" when making the request
They usually turn that around with 24 hours, but not sure about Friday.
Good luck.

Lots because biotech is rapidly expanding and new companies are needing more and more space

Right… but how much lab space is actually needed?
If you can’t find tenants, seems like a money sink.

I used to work at the Park Street Dunkin' (before they moved/renovated/left) and he would come in and try to harass the workers in there hardcore. Seeing him immediately set in nervousness.

Private equity loves lab space because it rents out at a higher rate than an office space because a person can't do lab work from a home office.

Yes. We make almost exactly $200k combined in Alabama.

Thank you so much for all of that wonderful info, I appreciate it. That 200k number keeps popping up so that may be my new target.

Thank you.
> Do you know whether the job is inside or outside 128/95? Hanscom is outside but most of the town is inside.
No, I don't know for sure. I do know it's likely near Hanscom AFB based on the kind of job.
I won't do a 5 commuting day a week job again, but once or twice a week I don't mind some of a commute.

Yeah using lexington median income as an indicator of what you shoudl be making compared to alabama might not exactly be fair.

Thanks. That's kinda what I was suspecting. ~ 60-70% 'raise' to be equal.

>Leads? Yeah, I’ll just check with the boys down at the crime lab. They got 4 more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts!
Since it's a Planet Fitness why didn't the gym manager sound the Lunk Alarm and frisk everyone to see who had the earphones?!?

Yea, you let it go.
First, you figure out how this happened, like what mistake you made that let something you care about so much out of your sight for so long. Did you trust a locker, did you not check your pockets, et cetera, then don’t make this mistake again.
Shit happens, but you are safe and your property is replaceable. Here’s a secret about thieving if you didn’t know: it’s a crime of opportunity. Button your shit down and it won’t happen to you.

You should be fine with that. Lexington is a super nice town but there isn't a lot to do there. If you had kids I would say go Lexington all the way, but Waltham is right down the road and has a lot more to do better restaurants etc. Moody street is super fun.

Seriously. OP makes $110k in Alabama with a $900 mortgage. Rent alone is gonna be $2500. Move in ready house 600-800k+ and still be a downgrade.
OP should be looking at $200+ for equal (but better schools)

Nor do I, but it helps get a feel for the day-to-day cost of living.
