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.
I would be pissed as hell, too. I hope that no one causes any harm to people with the fire setting. Crazy. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope things settle down too.
DeleteThat's even worse than bullets...fire spreads, for goodness' sake. I hope you'll manage to stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope so too.
DeleteFires worry me. Big time. I hope the firebugs can be discouraged. Permanently.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteNever a boring day, haha! 😂
ReplyDeleteYou can say that again.
DeleteDefinitely a scary situation. I hope they get it all under control. Stay safe! Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteWe keep going outside at night to keep an eye out around here.
DeleteThat would be very concerning!
ReplyDeleteOh it is.
DeleteAbsolutely 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.
ReplyDeleteOh we definitely are.
DeleteThat's scary, be careful Mary!
ReplyDeleteI sure am trying to.
DeleteI agree, that's very scary and I hope the firebug leaves the area soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteBurning books, thats a huge crime where I come from. These people may need meditation.
ReplyDeleteThey need to be in jail.
DeleteWorrying about crap like that is the last thing you need right now. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteI know.
DeleteI don't like that people are setting fires in your neighborhood either!
ReplyDeleteI don't either.
DeleteI'm amazed that in big, rich America people lit fires to get warm. It shouldn't happen; fire is hazardous.
ReplyDeleteBig, 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.
Deleteoh wow that is so scary---fire is terrifying in the damage it can cause so quickly.
ReplyDeleteYes,it worries me too.
DeleteVery scary and dangerous. Be careful!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm trying to keep an eye on it.
DeleteYeah I'd be pissed too. Fire's nothing to play around with...
ReplyDeleteBe safe!
That's for sure.
DeleteYou're right and it's dangerous
ReplyDeleteYeah it is.
DeleteSome people are just insane.
ReplyDeleteThat's the truth.
DeleteIdiots, sigh!
ReplyDeleteLots of idiots around here.
DeleteIs your apartment on a ley line or something?! It's wild how much strange stuff goes on there. But yeah the constant fire setting sounds dangerous.
ReplyDeleteLOL I don't know. Maybe I should check that out.
DeleteThat's scary! I hope the fire starter doesn't progress to wanting to burn buildings next!
ReplyDeleteI hope not either.
DeleteI'd be equally alarmed if people were setting fires in my neighbourhood. I have to ask myself, what on earth is the point?
ReplyDeleteCrazy people do crazy things.
DeleteThat's scary, Mary. I get that people want to stay warm, but fire can be so dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI know. It's scary.
DeleteVery 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.
ReplyDeleteFalcor looks so cute!
That's exactly right. Thank you.
DeleteFire 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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
