Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

Sunday about 5.15 one of my neighbors shows up with two cops. Apparently he had been renting space from the people who are subletting the apartment next to mine (we share the longest wall - LR, DR & Bath). Last week I came home to find a maintenance guy changing the lock on the neighbor's mailbox & one of my neighbors standing in the hall locking & unlocking the door. There are so many different people that go in & out of that apt, I can't keep track. No idea where all the extra keys came from as the office only gives out two keys per bedroom & that's a one bedroom apt.

Anyway, from what I gathered whilst listening through the walls (for the record, holding a glass to the wall to hear better doesn't work) the subletters kicked out the guy who brought the cops. Unwanted Guy's (UG) stuff was still in apt. According to ppl in apt, UG owes them money. Cops leave after about 30 mins. I think UG stays in apt.

Then about 7.30 or so, other residents of that apt show up. Much yelling ensues in some language I can't understand. Cops are called again. This time four show up (two of which had been there earlier) and are there nearly two hours.

Apparently the people that were in the apt when the cops came the first time were just friends of the subletters who were staying there "visiting". The people who showed up around 7.30 were the ones actually subletting. The people's whose names are on the lease never did show up. UG gets his stuff & takes it to his car, where he's been living for the last five days. Actually the police & subletters & subletters' "visitors" gather up UG's stuff as UG wasn't allowed back in apt. Plans were made for all parties to go the courthouse on Monday.

From what I overheard, it's unlikely that the subletters will ever get any money they say UG owes them because they have no records or receipts. And the subletters could be kicked out because there is no paperwork in the apt office showing that they are living in the apt. And the "visitors", who have been there at least two months, are likely out of there as well. No idea about the people listed on the lease.

I heard no shouting from the neighbors last night, well not these neighbors. I did hear someone go in & out of the apt. I'm mostly hoping the cops don't have to come back because things were pretty intense during the second incident. A lot more shouting & banging around. Lot of "calm down"s from the cops.


Unrelateadly - Red Wings beat the Rangers last night which was good & bad. I rather like the Rangers & usually like for them to win. However, I don't want them to get any more points since the Canes are on the cusp of the playoff teams. So yay the Rangers didn't get any more points! but boo they lost :(
