Of course he'd steal from his own tenants.

Alright... He's not a deportee. He might look like one, but he's a local. I'm gonna sound like I'm his attorney over the next couple of lines so bear with me. I never got anything stolen from this place. I've been here for 14 months now. I wasn't the only foreigner when I first moved here. Even if we knew homeboy wasn't a saint, we never thought anything of it since nothing ever happened. I mean it's a family oriented building. People with good jobs were living here with their kids (just got home and all the units seem to be empty). I don't know if he has a gambling or drug problem. He doesn't look permanently cracked out or anything. I just know that he doesn't work and he's obviously not a hedge fund kid. The guy is very helpful though. He helped me out a few times and even picked up zig zags at the gas station for me once. I would've never thought that he was going around town robbing people's houses. Selling some dope here and there, yea. But robbing someone's house? Never.
I changed the all the locks on my door when I first moved in since I'm the subject of crippling paranoia. So even if he had some spare keys, he would've failed. I could've also asked the people back in the US to send the tape (I don't know how that security system is set up, but everything is remotely monitored. Whoever is in charge of monitoring this thing can even speak to the people at the scene in real time. Mind blowing).
Ok. I would be a shitty attorney. The guy is not the worse individual I've ever met. I have had worse landlords in the countries I've previously lived in. I mean they wouldn't rob people's places (who knows), but they would try to keep the damn security deposit and charge me extra even if I shampooed the goddamn carpet and repainted the whole fucking place by myself. Anyway, I don't what know what compelled him to do this.
BREAKING NEWS: They know him as "Lizard" and it's not his first booking. Burglarizing people's house is his actual nighttime job (my girl just texted me). He's all over the local news. I feel like a noob. Or a queef.
