Ever get a wild animal in your STR?
Just got a call from one of my tenants. He's a boilermaker foreman working night shift. He said that he could hear a creature walking around in the attic above his bedroom. It's not really an attic, it's more like an unfinished 3rd floor. The stairway to the 3rd floor is entered from a doorway in the guys bedroom. He said he could hear a creature walking back and forth while he was trying to sleep. He thought it could be an opossum, cat, squirrel or a really big rat.
I'm collecting rent from there this evening. I told him I'll bring a handgun and a flashlight and will investigate by climbing up the stairs to confront the creature. I told the guy that he'd be walking in front of me.

Does a bear in a hot tub count?
