WTF: Roof Deck Crime Edition

Today's WTF brings us back to 5:00 this morning when I was awoken from my peaceful beauty sleep by a clatter out on my roof deck. I know, I was thinking the same thing you were - SANTA! - but I realized he doesn't come early just because Target puts out their singing trees in October (dumb, but a side note).

This clatter was the type of door jiggling window pressing, trying to break, enter, and steal shit.. Had I been a little drunk, and not just waking up from said slumber, I may have been more courageous and done more than just turn on my light, text my roommates and hide under the bed, but I didn't. I sat there, like a scared puppy on the 4th of July. Didn't even call the cops until today. I'm sure my request for increased attention in the area will be their top priority.

Moral of the story neighbors, friends, and randos - lock your doors and windows, even if they're on the roof. Also, get renters or homeowners insurance if you don't already have it. Renters is like $10 a month. Stop being lazy. Nothing is safe. This is 2009 - tough economy, and hell, there's probably an iPhone app that tells you how to and what roofs are easiest to break in through.

XOXO,
