We have this giant cupboard in the garage where our deliveries go. I always request that packages be delivered to my door but usually, they are left somewhere downstairs and the building manager gathers them up and puts them in this locker.

(This is a screen shot of the locker that I just grabbed from the video. That's a neighbor, getting his package that was delivered this morning.)

You cannot get into the rest of the building from there without a key. You cannot get into that part of the building without a key or a garage door opener except, turns out, one of the doors to the street was broken and a woman got in last night and fucking emptied that damn cupboard.

There is clear and full video of her (good shot of her face and a crystal clear shot of her butt crack) filling a wheelie bin and 2 massive shopping bags with all of the packages in that cupboard early this morning just after midnight. It's the damnedest thing.

I did not have any packages in there - going out or coming in. Whew.

By the way, that car you can see is the one that I left the note on offering to trade places. As of yesterday afternoon, the note was still there. It would be a lovely parking spot for me and my tiny car, plus I could watch my car on condo TV!!

Well, then. That's an interesting turn.

It really is. It's going to be interesting to see what the fallout is. My personal hope is that they will abandon that stupid locker and bring everything up here to my door.

So she had a key to the garage and the combo to the locker.

Inside job somehow. Having a key... maybe. Having the combo, maybe. But both?

Wow.

AND, why the hell aren't people getting their stuff??

Actually, they blamed the door (out to the street) being broken.

BUT BUT BUT... late breaking news.

Just got another email. Someone let her in via the call box!! They just sent the video of her waltzing in the front door after someone buzzed her in. Holy fuck. This is getting wilder by the minute. (Oh and she came in with a single backpack so she also stole the wheelie bin!!)

Also apparently she stole a car remote so now I'm going to go down to my car and make sure mine is still there.

Stay tuned. This can't be over yet.

And, right about the packages. Some people leave shit down there forever. I have never understood that. But we get email at least once a month saying come get your shit.

And I'm assuming your door system does not record who buzzes people in and when.

But, yeah, that was my thought. She stole a trash can. THAT is a huge crime around here.

Honestly, I don't know about the door system. Probably not. The latest email said that a garage door fob was missing out of a car — not clear if she stole it or what but they asked us to check our cars. My fab was still there but I hid it. I could not pinpoint where she got the wheelie bin but, yeah, now we're talking grand theft!!

I am just dying to see how The World's Most Ineffective Board and Manager handle this kerfuffle.

YES!

Wow! That's some riveting video! I love the way she looks at some of the packages, thinks nah, and puts them neatly back on the shelf. And her leisurely way of loading up the rubbish bin. Most of all, I love the way her jacket has a hood yet she doesn't even bother to put it up. Doesn't everyone expect video surveillance these days? Can't wait for the ass crack identity parade.
