The snow shovel balcony robber

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

When I was younger we had a balcony where my brother and I would store our bikes and skateboards and toys. One morning my mom heard some noise on the balcony and opened the curtain to find a man using a hack saw on the chains that had our bikes locked up to the balcony! This man was stealing our bikes!!!! My mom chased him off, but I have never forgotten what happened.
Being on site apartment managers of the building, we try to be alert and pay attention to unusual noises. Early one morning, I heard a ruckus on our balcony and those memories came flooding back. I just knew there was going to be someone out there stealing all of our snow removal tools and yard tools!

So I stormed to the balcony fuming mad and ripped back the curtain ready to catch the thief red handed (I intended to give him a good scare by yelling at him) when all the sudden something surprised me and my breath was taken back!….

Hello, I go by the name “Lady Landlord” on this website and I’m the lady of the house. You can view all of my entries by clicking the “Written by Lady Landlord” link in the categories section on the right side of the main page. I’ll be posting little stories here and there when I have time, so keep an eye out for my updates between my husbands entries.

 

There is a doormat I have seen before that says something about how “Every third salesperson who knocks on this door will be shot on site!” then, below it says, “The second one just left”. It is stories like the one I’m about to tell you, that makes me wish we could post such a sign in our building.

Just a quick little story.

With winter creeping in on us here in Alaska, I’m reminded of something that happened last year about this time.

Our units are equipped with a switch inside the apartment that controls a power plug at the apartments corresponding parking space. This allows the tenant to flip a switch to power their vehicles block heater in the winter. Many tenants just flip the switch and leave it on all the time.

One day, my wife and I came home from running some errands, and we saw something that surprised us quite a bit…
