Have you had anything stolen in the last year or so? Maybe a camera? Or an I-pod? There is a chance it might be sitting at the police department’s 18th District headquarters right now.

Southwest Detectives discovered a massive cache of what they say are fenced items in a clothing store near 52nd and Chestnut. The items recovered include hundreds of cameras, cell phones, I-pods, flat screen TVs, gaming systems, jewelry and GPS devices. Police are asking that victims of robberies, burglaries and break-ins come to the 18th District headquarters at 55th and Pine Streets after 4 p.m. today to claim an item.

The tricky part of this, of course, is identifying and proving what is yours. Police say they will work with people, but that a police report filed when the item was taken would be extremely helpful.

Police believe most of the items were stolen from West, Southwest and South Philadelphia and Upper Darby.

Three-year-old Jaquinn Brewton, the boy who was hospitalized after his caregiver said he fell down a flight of stairs late last month, died Tuesday within minutes of being taken off life support. After an autopsy last night revealed that his injuries were due to “blunt force trauma,” his death was ruled a homicide.

Police say no charges have been filed yet.

Brewton’s caregiver, who has been described as a “family friend,” told police that she found him unconscious on the steps of an apartment building on the 4700 block of Chestnut Street on June 29. She told police he had fallen down the stairs.

Brewton’s mother, who was staying in a homeless shelter at the time, has alleged that Brewton was abused. She has said that doctors told her that the boy had been burned on various parts of his body.

A reader Lori emailed with this information:

This older female tabby showed up on my steps today (500 block of Melville). She has no collar and I’ve never seen her before. She is in good health and very friendly. Please call me at 215-662-0749 if you know where she lives.

Police are still searching for a male in his early 20s who stabbed and robbed a woman near 45th and Pine Streets on Monday night.

The victim, who police described as an 18-year-old Asian woman, was stabbed in the back three times and robbed of her cell phone. Police say the suspect was black male in his early 20s wearing a white t-shirt.

The robbery took place at about 11:30 p.m. The victim was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and was in stable condition.

Here’s a great chance to enjoy some fine locally prepared dishes for the next two weeks. Around 30 West Philly restaurants (see the full list on the flyer) are participating in the 6th annual University City Dining Days that will run from tomorrow, July 14, through July 28. You can try something new or visit your favorite location. There are options for many tastes and budgets.

Here’s how it works. Each of the participating restaurants will offer a  three-course dinner special for one of the following set prices: $15, $25 or $30. The purpose of this is to encourage folks to dine at as many locations as possible during these two weeks without the fear of going bankrupt.

Please note that the prices are for dinner only so if you want a glass of wine to go with it it will cost extra. Taxes and gratuity are not included either. Reservations should be made directly through the participating restaurant. See the menus and restaurant contact details on this page.

West Philly-based writer Liz Spikol aims her formidable wit at her neighborhood today with a Jeff Foxworthy-like (“You might be a redneck if…”) piece on the Philadelphia Magazine blog The Philly Post entitled “You Know You Live In West Philly If…”

A couple of choice lines:

You know You Live in West Philly if…

“The local pickup joint is in the back of an Eritrean restaurant.”

“In addition to lottery tickets and rolling papers, the convenience store sells organic laundry detergent for $13 and special-orders grass-fed beef.”

“The kids at the local park forgo Tag and Cops and Robbers in favor of roleplaying games that involve foam weaponry.”

“The neighborhood thrift store owner says she ran out of bow ties because “all the females who date females buy them.”

“A casual conversation on a neighborhood Internet forum can get ugly very quickly if someone says something mean about cats.”
