Ripped off in Old North

[Eldo]

Be careful what you leave in view. I had my MP3 player ripped yesterday afternoon sometime. It was laying on my nightstand and some asshole slit the window screen and reached in and grabbed it. They didn't come into the house or the alarm system would have tripped, but just got was was reachable through the window. GGGRRRR!

I'll hit the Broadway Shopping Center pawn shop this afternoon but I doubt it'll be there. My tunes are all on the computer, but I had a great set of earbuds too that I'll have to replace.

I wish they'd try something while I was home.

That's the only reason I'm not sleeping with the windows open this time of year!

My neighbor saw a guy nosing around the side of my house early one morning last week. There wasn't much he could do where he was looking, gate locked, no windows, but it was unnerving. I'm most shocked by the amount of home invasion/burglary (and slice and grab like yours) type crimes lately. I'm sure it's a reflection of the economy but damn.

seems its all over here as well (Ftn City) man; i DID the above (well, close) the a/c has been out so ive left the garage door + lots more open to the breeze ... ours would be a hard as fuck house to rob buuut... i kept hearing this car rumble outside. we have a SERIOUS driveway so there is a parking zone carved out of the bottom of the front yard. i look out and two 20-something rednecks are inna car in said zone. (no, they were not smkin pot etc) (AND MY NEXT DOOR Neighbor has been robbed TWICE!)
i snuck down (armed) the (forest) treeline , blocked the drivers door and asked them very politely: "is there something i can help you with (points up hill) .. that's MY house" (them) "nawww nawww its kewl, Bro" (me) 'then please get the fuck off my property before i lose my temper"

you REALLY gotta watch this shit...with the economy like it is..well ya'know.

hope ya get yer shit back Eldo! and again, sorry all that went down in the 1st place.

Your neighbor's a keeper. When I walked up to the house to pick up your dogs over the weekend, he said, "They're not home." I told him I was watching the dogs. He told me he was watching the house.

I guess the neighbor in question isn't the crazy lady across the street, then. She does have fun hats, tho.

[Headless Geisha]

Nope not the same neighbor; he's what you'd want in a neighbor. Just nosey enough and an insomniac so he's always up. But isn't she a "lovely" one. Crazy at all the wrong times. She came on to my dad, called various friends "gay", and offered her services to others. I've often thought to write a letter to the homeowner and express our discontent, but as others pointed out, she probably doesn't "pay" rent.

Oh yeah, that would be Queenie. She's our little dash of colorful fashion in the hood. Back when I actually conversed with her she just got crazier with every word that came out of her mouth.

[Ripshod]

Sorry to hear about that, Eldo. Did you report it? Was there a response?

When I first moved in, she accused me of stealing her bike, which she had hung in a tree to signify customers which house was hers. She was none too pleased. And yes, every word out of her mouth is crazier than the previous one. I just keep my head down and NEVER make eye contact!
