Experts: Bump Key Burglaries A Growing Threat
Across the nation, residents are coming home to find their homes and apartments have been burglarized, but the windows and doors are intact and in place -- almost as if someone had a key. What the robbers have is the next best thing. A bump key is specially made so that when it's tapped, it can jiggle the pins inside a lock and open it. .

Antique pieces bring city's past to light
As I was putting back the little knick knacks that had all come off our walls during construction, I came across a neat object d'art that I didn't realize I had. It was a small advertising mirror from Enna Jetticks.On the advertising side it said that this woman's dress shop was next door to the Hoosier Theatre, and from the way the two stylish women were dressed, the piece looks to be from the 1930s.It's amazing what one finds when one cleans house. Judge Crater may be in my basement.Santa also brought me a wonderful celluloid advertising mirror from the Whiting Photography Studio at 532 Indianapolis Blvd. and the dapper gentleman on the opposite side looks to be from the 1920s.I have a number of these photo mirrors. My Santa shops at Just Little Things, a great antique stores here on 119th Street where you never know what you'll find. The Whiting-Robertsdale Historical Society will have its first meeting since September at 1 p.m.
