Another Attempt to Break In

[dotinthesky]

Yesterday morning, on returning from the swimming pool, I ran into a pair of police officers coming out of my building. They had a woman with them, from the basement floor, who climbed into their van and drove away with them. I thought she might have called them because of the man with epilepsy who lives in my building (though I never stopped to consider why she would need to go to the police station with them.)

Today, Natalia told me that she ran into these same police officers yesterday (probably when they were arriving) and they asked her if she had heard anything suspicious: someone had tried to break into our building again.

This made me realize that, on leaving the building to go to the swimming pool, I noticed a young man standing by our door, talking on his mobile phone. As I opened the door, he turned his body away from me so I couldn't see his face. I wonder if it was him? I was suspicious at the time, and I remember turning around to check whether he would sneak through the door I had just left open (one of those doors that automatically closes behind you and locks itself.) He didn't sneak in then, but I wonder if he then tried to get in through other means.

Sounds very dodgy! I don't think I'd stay long in a building like that if I knew that was happening. Why did they leave?

we have "bars" on our windows and back door off the fire escape/ porch. there are 2 elder queens (mid 60's) live cross the court yard from us. 2 delightful guys. one wears a house dress at home. he is all ways in the court yard doing his plants or what not. the culchies would call out the window when they would see him "faggot" etc,,, in san francisco that does not go over at all. we talked to the owner of our buildings. he his wonderful, has grand kids etc,,, but is very very gay! he is a pillar of society in san francisco. he owns a glass and mirror company. his grand father made tons of money in 1906 after the san francisco earth quake. he is all ways in the society pages donating money to museum etc,,, any how, as soon as he found out the culchies were gone.

I'd love to see photos of this building, and the courtyard, one day!
