Gem, last incident wasn’t scary as much as it was annoying. I was sleeping quite peacefully until the numbnuts woke me up with his banging, etc. Pissed me off. Until I get a gun, I have my large wok and a very large and heavy set of bolt cutters by the door. He will get wok-ed upside the head and the bolt cutters will relieve him of his nuts.
Oh and the above is the absolute best reason to do total due diligence up front on tenants. I am even willing to pay a broker fee to have them do every check known to man and ask all the obnoxious questions I have difficulty asking face to face.
My adventure was with a wack job I inherited. My tenants now are absolutely fantastic. Once I got the sociopath out of the apartment (took 6 weeks because she was truly surprised I took the route I did), I did not have one problem with anyone in 6 years.

Machetes are gangster, but I need to pop off some lead to scare the dumbshit who tries to get in my kitchen window. The last incident a few weeks ago happened at my front door, so I couldn’t have legally gotten away with shooting him, but I’m sure waving the flag of Smith & Wesson would have made him run.”
The problem with these cretins firing guns and hitting the wrong target is because they don’t know how to hold a gun and aim it. You can’t effectively aim it when you hold it sideways like all these morons do
DH – I was going to order it on Demand – why is it so boring?
Did you see the “Fighter”?
Snappy, this is somebody who is trying to break in to rip you off? This is NUTS!!

No, dog wouldn’t help. An extra hole in the ass would teach a lesson a dog could never provide.

DH, that’s what the hong kong triads use when they battle it out on the streets – ie no guns, just steel pipes, machettes,…
Yes, remember it well when I lived there…always referred to as a “chopper” It’s what we call a cleaver
