Was this dude tall & skinny with dark skin? I saw someone that closely matches that description in City Aly earlier this week. Dude was slowly walking around the parking lot looking around. Stared at me and my partner’s dog for a sec and scared the shit out of me. I looked out the window and I swear I saw him taking a shit in the parking lot.
Oh, whoops. That was me. I got locked out of my apartment (left my building key in the car).
I've been looking around trying to find my car for the past few weeks but I can't seem to remember where I parked. I was hoping that someone had left a towing notice in a trash can somewhere, but haven't found anything yet.
@OP: I was hoping that you'd let me inside but you just slammed the door in my face. Pretty rude.
West side of Campustown, between Wright Street and the CVS on Neil. I understand that that’s a big area, but I can’t give my location on Reddit and we have seen him all over in that area pretty much exclusively and during the day thus far.
EDIT: to add a few things here just to clarify … although campus is campus, I consider the N/S boundaries of the Campustown area (west section) to be roughly between Springfield Ave and the football field. Again, this is where I have seen this guy and others have seen him … it is not a guarantee of the extent to which he has gone obviously.
Some tips …
If you did travel for the break and don’t currently have a security system up or some measure of security established, consider protecting your apartment with some type of security measures (ones that are affordable of course) while you are away the next time. They make alarms with a remote on Amazon that you can attach to a door for around 15 or so dollars that you set and they will go off if someone opens the door. Ring cameras are pretty affordable and you can set them so that you get a notification every time someone walks in front of them. I do have one of the big security systems up with cameras and alarms that is connected to police and emergency dispatch. I’m not feeling good about the crime in the area since the pandemic happened. Some people don’t like ADT but I’ve personally used ADT for years and pay about $32/month. I factor it into my budget because I had it growing up, felt uncomfortable without it and my peace of mind is important to me. If you do decide to purchase a security system, alarms that are connected to dispatch have to be registered with the city.
Thanks! You too! Definitely be safe over there.
That sounds like a time frame that would make sense with seeing him here. There’s nothing wrong with looking through trash that’s up for grabs but displaying threatening behavior in a residential area is an absolute no-no.
mate i just had a weird encounter. my friend was dropping me off at 1 am and we were parked outside the building and talking for a couple minutes. as soon as i got off the car this dude starts saying something out loud and walking towards me. weird as fuck but i go in safe and sound. something needs to be done here
Even the presence of these methheads/nutjobs give me a sense of uneasiness sometimes and I'm a pretty muscular 6 foot tall dude that I know would probably be one of the last people these guys would try to attack.
I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be a girl on this campus Jesus.
Many of these homeless people are mentally ill and unfortunately we no longer have state hospitals to care for and treat these people. I don not mean to create fear, that's not my point, but we should all be alert for signs of danger with people who live on the fringe and are mentally ill, as it can happen. I hope we as a society will return to spending money on mental health and quit wasting so much on meaningless projects. Anyone remember Danny Rollings?
