According to MPD 2D, the Steven Madden at 3109 M St. was robbed around 8:00 last night. 2D reports:
March 4, 2009
8:35 pm -A male subject entered the Steve Madden Store @ 3109 M Street, NW, approached the employee, told her to lie on the floor, displayed a weapon and demanded US Currency. The subject took the US Currency from the cash register and ran out of the store in an unknown direction.
That’s quite a bold move at that hour. Anyone see this?
The Georgetown Metropolitan 
I was walking my dog near there around 9pm. There was a lot of action down there (helicopter, search dogs, etc.) The officer told me they were looking for 6’3 African American Male, light skin and wearing a blue North Face. What a great start for the new Georgetown North Face store.
I saw them sprint by on M street around 8:35-8:40pm. There were many people around and they actually hit a bike rack while trying to get away. There was the one guy, at first, running with something in his hand, and then another, and then 2-3 more, each running with bags in their hands (the last two looked like shoe bags). I heard a woman tell the police one or some of them ducked into Barnes and Noble. I hope they were found.
