Two or three Sundays ago, a dude was caught in broad daylight trying to break into my next door neighbor's apartment. There's a set of stairs that lead up to my door and her door. This dude must have been totally zonked because he was trying to pick her lock at 10:30am in daylight. Everyone was home and there were people outside. She heard him trying to break in and was literally petrified to the point almost having a complete breakdown. She literally moved out that night.
Anyway, I was home playing a video game when I heard yelling outside. I then determined that it was a cop telling a dude to “put the knife down,” “put the knife down.” As the two cops got closer, they could see that he had a screwdriver, so they yelled, “drop the screwdriver.” By then, I had opened my door enough to watch the entire situation unfold. The one cop had his gun drawn, and the other had a taser drawn. The dude finally complied and ended up face down on the landing.
He had only lived in the complex for about a week. The first time I saw him, I knew in my gut that he was trouble. I just didn't expect him to cause problems so soon. I'm glad he did because he's locked up now.
Anyway, as a result, I bought a high-end dead bolt to replace the chintzy one I had, and I installed the SimpliSafe alarm system. I just ordered a gun safe today. It's been a pretty safe place to live over the past 4 years. But with the California creeps fleeing that State (and the policies they voted for) and heading to my neck of the woods, things are bound to get worse in the coming months and years. Time to secure my guns, gold, and silver.
