Suspicious activity in our appartment

[Bowtechshooter]

I am going to college and living in Kingsville, not the safest looking town around but full of nice people. A few weeks ago my buddy was parked on the street because the parking lot to our apartment was full and at 3 in the morning we had 3 police officers banging our door and calling us because he had a yeti in the back of the truck and they were warning us about high thief rates with the yetis. My buddy has a 3/4 steel cable and a master lock holding his yeti in his truck, I know it is not bullet proof but someone would have to work awfully hard to steal it. Last week our neighbors had a stranger walk in their appartment at 3 in the morning and left when he found one of them sleeping on the couch. The stranger said he thought that was where the party was but the lights were off and all of them were passed out asleep, it could have been that their dead bolt is broken and their door does not lock that attracted him. The next day my buddy calls me while I was at work and said someone tried to cut through the cable holding his yeti in his truck.

I'd definitely not renew my lease, and try and get out of a rental contract citing these incidents with the property manager.

Which complex if you don't mind me asking? I go to school here also but live in a house.

? Take the yeti out of the truck and fix the door.

Leaving a yeti in view regardless of precautions taken is not very smart.....anywhere

Sounds like you need to look for a more secure place.

Chain one tire on the truck to a tree. Sounds bad over there.

That was my answer but it was not a good enough answer I guess. I have a $50 coleman and dont leave it in my truck and my door is locked the second I walk out or go upstairs

Should have listened to the po-po. They're trying to help your buddy out and saving him from his own...."ignorance". Because guess what? Leaving a Yeti in the back of the truck is like leaving a flat screen TV back there. Then your buddy is gonna be calling making a police report about a stolen Yeti when he could have eliminated the problem by not leaving a valuable worth $350+ in the bed of a pickup in a shady apt complex. Think of that knock at the door at the wee hours of the morning as a PSA that he obviously ignored.

The night they did that they called his mom at 3 am asking if she knew her truck was in kingsville, she said that was her son and he is going to college there. She was freaking out trying to figure out what happened that she is getting calls from the police at 3 am

I am not arguing that it was smart of him to leave his yeti back there or for our neighbors to leave their door unlocked but its scary how brave people are

[BigRed323]

Not surprising at all.

This right here.

There are bad people in this world. Be smart or be a victim. And tell your friends to fix their locks.

You'd be surprised how "brave" (I called it a different term) people are. I have a friend who had someone come into his house while he and his wife were sleeping, take his truck keys from his night stand, load up a bunch of their stuff in his own truck, hauled it who knows where, then brought the truck BACK to my buddies house and put the keys back on the nightstand. My buddy woke up the next morning and noticed some things out of place and kind of "bare." Thinking his wife had done some cleaning, he shrugged it off and ate his bowl of cereal. He made cup of coffee and went out on the porch and noticed his truck was in a different spot. Still thinking his wife had been on a cleaning spree the day before, he shrugged that off until he went in the living room, found all of their DVDs and TV missing, along with several electric guitars.

Fast forward a week: He was telling a neighbor about the incident one morning and the neighbor thought it was strange and informed him that her roommate had acquired a new guitar recently. Being suspicious, he asked her for permission to go look in their house to check and see if it was his. He went over there, walked into the guy's room, and it wasn't his guitar. As he turned to walk out of the room, he saw all of his stuff (including the guitars) in the guy's closet....True Story.
