Because I live alone, and because I wasn't home because I was working, [View all]

[no_hypocrisy]

the local police, during an investigation, broke the door to my apartment (street door) and the two locks. I mean axes and broken wood.

My neighbors told them I wasn't home. They told the police where I worked. The police literally broke the door and the frame to make sure I wasn't lying dead upstairs.

BTW, the original call to them reported a male voice yelling "Help me, help me, help me! Call the police!" on the other side of the building, nowhere near my unit.

I called the town councilman to complain bitterly when I came home last night at 10:15 to an unsecured apartment.

Until my landlord replaces the door and locks (uncertain how soon that's going to be), I can't walk into my apartment without wondering if there has been theft or if my safety is in jeopardy.
