Apartment Life #230

 
This is a new weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 22 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 22 years here in a weekly blog post.

This week there was another idiot setting fires around my apartment complex. On Monday night my daughter and I saw a homeless guy burning books in the community bbq in the pool courtyard. He's not the same guy that was arrested last week with the burning shopping cart. Totally different guy. We figured he was trying to stay warm since the low was 34F this week. So we didn't think much of it until the next day. Tuesday morning I saw a bunch of burned clothes and books in the rocks next to my apartment building. I didn't get a picture of it until too late. The porter had come by and picked up most of the burned trash but I did get a picture of the burnt ashes that were left over in the rocks. All that black you see in the rocks is the burnt remains. The man was turned in that day by a neighbor and he was arrested but he got out the next day. 

The day after that guy got out out jail. He was only in jail for one night. I don't know if it's because they didn't catch him red handed or what but the next morning when I was walking Falcor, I spotted more burnt cardboard down the street. I do not like knowing that there's a couple of fire bugs in the neighborhood setting fire to books, clothing and cardboard. 

Falcor just wanted to scuff his feet on the cardboard but I don't like that people are setting fires in the neighborhood. I've kept my eye open at night when I take Falcor for a walk. If I see any fires I'm calling 911. This is ridiculous. 

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

  7. Absolutely ridiculous! Fire is no joke... I can't believe more isn't being done to monitor it. Definitely phone it in as soon as you see it.

  10. Burning books, thats a huge crime where I come from. These people may need meditation.

  13. I'm amazed that in big, rich America people lit fires to get warm. It shouldn't happen; fire is hazardous.

    1. Big, rich America? I think you've been watching too many movies about America, sweetie. We have just as many problems here in America as other parts of the world does. There are thousands upon thousands of homeless, mentally ill, drug addicts, gang members and all other kinds of bad people and stuff happening here. It shouldn't happen but it does.

  20. That's scary! I hope the fire starter doesn't progress to wanting to burn buildings next!

  21. I'd be equally alarmed if people were setting fires in my neighbourhood. I have to ask myself, what on earth is the point?

    ReplyDelete
  22. That's scary, Mary. I get that people want to stay warm, but fire can be so dangerous.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Very dangerous! 34 is cold. You think they'd go to a shelter overnight, but as you've said before a lot of homeless don't want to be in a shelter.

    Falcor looks so cute!

  24. Fire is a worry you certainly don't need. I endlessly wonder why the authorities never seem to care about the stress these criminal idiots are causing to local people.

    1. The police patrol around here quite often but I guess the laws need to be changed. Plus with Covid right now I think they don't want to hold people in jail like they used to.
