Weird Crimes....What's your story?

[Marcia Maynard]

Just when you think you've heard it all....

On Easter Sunday one of our elderly tenants was enjoying the good weather and had his front door open. A woman who he had never seen before walked into his apartment and went straight to the bathroom, then proceeded to take a shower. He called 911 and the police responded quickly, handcuffed her and took her away. Our tenant just mentioned the incident to us in passing. He said "she looked like she was loaded" and being a veteran of the Korean war, he wasn't phased much by it.

A few years ago another tenant's estranged adult daughter (not living there), broke into her mother's apartment by pushing the window air conditioner into the bedroom and crawling through the window. The mother wasn't home at the time and the daughter turned over furniture and a made a mess of the apartment. Our tenant was quite shaken by this, was worried about the daughter returning and asked us to help her keep her daughter away. We advised her to report the incident to the police and to file for a restraining order if she felt the need. We filed for the daughter to be named on a "no trespassing" order for our property. Not only did the daughter damage our window and window sill, but she had also thrown an egg on the side of the building and had taken a stick and had written creepy messages in the flower bed, and signed her name to it. Turned out she had been high at the time. Our tenant kept the "No Trespassing" order taped to her front window for a year in hopes of keeping her daughter at bay. It all worked. The daughter didn't come back.
