Came home from work to find... a syringe?!?

[Kevin Branin]

I have a neighborhood Handyman doing a few odd things to improve one of the units in my triplex. The guy is a little unhinged but ultimately does good work. And it works that I can buy materials and pay him by the day.... I’m funding this with proceeds from my day job. Last night is trash night, so I went over and started gathering junk and debris to put out on the curb. Well! I’m picking up parts of an old window when I see an orange capped syringe on the floor. Now I live in Philadelphia, and Just a miles away, it’s common to find these all over the ground. But this is MY triplex in a B- neighborhood, and neighborhood handyman is the only one with keys. To add to it, that apartment connects to the common area on my side via the basement. I also noticed the set of pocket doors to my apartment were a little a jar. I don’t know what the Heck is going on... but my next stop was to Home Depot to get new locks. From what I hear, he’s been having some un-sundry folk over while I’m at work. I think it’s time to fire someone... nothings stolen yet, and I aim to keep it that way.
