I don’t live in the best of neighborhoods in the nicest apartment complex; in fact, I live in an old apartment complex where drugs are present on a street that cops drive down frequently. The first week I moved in they busted a potential meth lab in an apartment at the end of my building, and ever since then things have been kind of odd with random people hanging around and knocks on the door. In the last two weeks alone, I’ve had THREE people (one guy I recognized that lives in the complex, the other two I have no idea who they were) knock on my door at random times (one during the day, two at night with the latest being 1:30am).

Needless to say, it’s freaked me out each time because there is no need to come knocking on my door especially at 1:30am. I know they are looking for drugs and whoever they are looking for apparently has given them the wrong address, not only that but the person who lived in this apartment before me lived here for 13 years and it was an older lady so I don’t know what the hell is going on with that. The property manager is aware of the situation and keeps an eye out for me and the complex in general because he knows that I’m here for school and by myself; he’s spoken to my mom a few times on the phone. I’m going to talk with him about getting some more secure door hardware for the front door because currently there is only a single dead bolt and it isn’t very secure, in my opinion. I think having an extra lock or two would make me feel a bit safer at night. We’ll see…if things don’t change soon, I’ll start looking for a new apartment.
