Apparently someone in my apartment complex either hates black cats, hates Halloween, or is just a random hoodlum that is going to burn someone's house down someday. Ben and I were just doing some picking up in the house and someone bangs on the door yelling "Hello! Hellooooo!!" Ben was closer so he opens it, and a plastic black cat decoration I bought at Walmart was on FIRE. He knocked it down and put it out with the doormat. I called 911, and while waiting for the cops, I looked at the remnants. There was a half-burned cigarette in the pile of wire that was left of the plastic cat, and melted plastic stuck to it. Someone used it as a large match to light it up. My door is covered in soot and melted plastic. Cops were fucking useless. "Someone could have just flicked it and caught it accidentally." I Pointed at it and said no, look, its only lit on one side, that was on purpose." There was also this kid walking around kinda suspicious like. They went talk to him. Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe he tried to downplay it to calm me down. But fuck that, I want it recognized that someone burned my Halloween decoration on fucking purpose. Considering the fact that I am a pagan and I don't hide it, I do wonder if it was motivated by that. I have NEVER had anything negative done to me for that reason, and I'm really hoping it was just some dumb kid who thought it would be funny. My door will probably have to be replaced, I don't think the melted plastic is coming off. Feel free to discuss, I don't have a question or anything, I just wanted to vent. |

Yeah, some people are just mean. I hate that this happened right at the beginning of the holiday season. Yes, I consider Halloween the beginning of the holiday season. |

That's just plain awful. People get uppity this time of year. Never had anything like that happen during the build to Halloween, the most I'd hear about is eggings and other deplorable things. Like others have said, some people are just cunts. |

Took a closer look at the door this morning, the paint is bubbled/peeled where the starting point was. I tried to get the plastic off but it's like melded on into the paint. They'll either have to strip and repaint it or just replace it. It's metal on the outside, which probably saved the whole building from going up. I doubt anything will come from it as far as finding out who did it. But I am not putting anything else on the door. Shame that people do shit like this and make people not even able to enjoy a holiday, especially my favorite one. Cunts. |

I uploaded the pics to a Photobucket album to show the guys in Chatzy, thought I'd just post it here in case anyone else was interested. The pics are backwards cause I can't figure out how to reorder them. The last one is what WAS on the door. http://s30.photobucket.com/user/HardyGirl2...r?sort=3&page=1 Maintenance just came and pressure washed the door. Not all the plastic came off, but some of the paint did. Go figure. I also got water all over the floor from the pressure washer under the door. The guy cleaned it up for me, which is good cause I am currently home on drugs cause of this damn tooth. Glad I was here cause the cats would have flipped out. Anywho. They are going to see if it can be sanded and repainted. If not... I get a new door. |
