Police reports, reports to the landlord (stolen from inside my apartment, part of a break in…the building has known security issues with randoms following tenants in) etc all filed. New cards requested. It’s fixable. I’m just vaguely disgruntled with the universe and everything in it
I live next door to a homeless outreach. Most of the clients are harmless, but there’s definitely a probability higher than zero that one of them wanders in and starts doing antisocial stuff.
Fires in the bin room in winter, for example, because someone’s broken in and is trying to keep warm. Drug use in the community garden - we try to clean up any detritus of that. Vandalism in public areas, and once or twice I’ve witnessed fights. I’ve had the lock on my mailbox cut off and needed to replace it. The occasional break in.
My tolerance for legally questionable shenanigans may be higher than many people’s!
Honestly I don’t know how you do it mentally, you sound so understanding and unfazed! I would be too worried about violence. Meth paranoia and aggression is frightening to witness. I would nope out of there as soon as I could.
The home I have now is precious to me, and I wouldn’t leave it lightly - I’m disabled, and I have some accessibility needs that this apartment is perfect for - unless I was absolutely certain of having somewhere else I could go that met those needs too.
A lot of the time I really like it here. It’s just…occasionally really feral because people suck.
It’s all good. I didn’t think you were being insensitive.
I HAVE thought about whether it might be time to move. I’m not sure what that looks like for me yet, but I’m getting very tired of the repetitive criminal shit
Yeah, look, it’s not my favourite thing. I’d much rather not be doing this today. Even so, this one bothers me less than many of the previous incidents because comparatively, it’s simple to fix.
Only one thing seems to have been taken.
Nothing else was damaged.
Nobody was threatened or hurt. I wasn’t even present.
I have the means to replace all my cards - I did a passport application all of two weeks ago, so I’ve even got the photos for new ID already on hand! - and nothing immediately pressing that I need the cards for beyond daily convenience.
I’ve got a locksmith coming to check over my door, and I won’t have to pay for it because my landlord will.
It’s a time consuming inconvenience, but I’ve definitely had a lot worse.
How awful. So sorry. If they broke into your apartment, hope nothing else was stolen. If it’s happened multiple times, sounds like the apartments need better doors and/or locks! I can understand someone following through a foyer door, but it shouldn’t be that easy to get into someone’s apartment?
My wallet was stolen yesterday. Again.

Fucking low lifes. I’m sorry this has happened to you.
Omg that’s horrible I’m sorry 😭
It’s not the first time. I’ve had three or four in ten years
That’s awful!! Hope they didn’t get the chance to use anything before you could cancel.
I’m down about $200 in rapid fire transactions - biggest was $70 at my nearest bottle-shop
Hope you can the $$ back without too much hassle. That super sucks.
Vaguely disgruntled? You are such a cool customer. Hopefully all is right soon.
I’ve had three or four in the last ten years. At least this time the wallet appears to be the only missing thing
Bugger sorry that happened to you.
3-4 times over 10 years seems like a lot.
Just CBD things.

I’ve been homeless myself. That’s sort of why.

Apologies, my comment seems so insensitive now. Glad to hear you’re ok now.

Oh gosh! That’s awful!
You are much more resilient than I am. I’ve had trouble sleeping since a break in years ago.
I do feel for people experiencing these situations where they feel theft is necessary for their survival though.

I’m so sorry that’s happened to you 🫂
That sucks, I’m thankful you’re safe and only replaceable stuff was taken. And that it doesn’t seem to have shaken you up too much.
Fingers crossed for speedy replacements (and maybe victims of crime might get some of your money back)🤞
