Sleeping Neighbor of the Year

We had an interesting event take place last night here in the neighborhood. The great thing is that I was unaware of what happened until I talked to neighbor Ted today.

The two houses across the alley from us are rentals. The one on the corner has three rentals, I think and the house next to it has two units.

The young woman that rents the ground floor apartment in that house has four kids. We met her last Spring shortly after she moved in. She seems very nice and she clearly has her hands full.

She has an ex husband with a restraining order against him but for some reason, she invited him over to see the kids. At some point in the evening, a disagreement took place and Dad began to destroy the house.

Our other neighbors Shelby and James said they heard something around 11:00 and it went on until 2ish.

Ted came by and took me over to the house. Every window on the main floor had been broken out, from inside the house. Furniture was turned over. The place was a mess.

All the windows are boarded up now. Somebody made quick work of that.

Best of all, Susan and I slept right through it. We never heard a thing. 

That makes me feel great about the prospect of ever waking up when something is happening at our house.
