4. nothing ...
They were looking for a prowler in the area. My landlord left the cellar bulkhead wide open, where I keep my personal belonging (nothing missing). The police went through the cellar, then upstairs. They knocked on my door and the door popped open. They yelled POLICE and woke me up.

I told my landlord about the door in August and he has yet to fix it.

11. When was nineteen
I was home for the summer from college, and my parents house doesn't have central air, and I didn't rate my own air conditioner. So to keep cool, I used to crash on the couch in the garage, because I could get a nice breeze. My 'rents live in a nice residential neighborhood, where they never lock their doors etc, so I never worried about sleeping out there.

One night, I came in about 3am and crashed on the couch. During the night it actually got kind of cool, so I pulled some blankets over me. About 6am, I open my eyes, and trotting down the driveway was a guy with a shotgun and a bulletproof vest headed straight for me. He came right up to me, laid his flashlight down on top of me and aimed his shotgun at the neighbors house. I laid completely still, realizing that he hadn't noticed me, and that if I startled him, I could end up with a shotgun wound. I figured out pretty quickly that it was a cop, so I just waited until they were done with what they were doing, then I got up, got my stuff and snuck into the house.

I got in the house, as my parents came downstairs. "Did you have anything to do with any of this?" my father asked me. "No," I replied, as I told him what had happened. My father, who was NYPD went outside in his tighty whiteys to find out what was going on :eyes:

It turns out one of the people my neighbor was renting out the first floor of his home to had a fight with her boyfriend and was afraid he was going to show up with a gun and kill her. They got the guy, and he had no gun, but they still arrested him. One of the cops used to work with my dad, so my dad struck up a conversation with him:

"Hey Terry, what's going on?"
"Hey Walter, I see we got you out here in your skivies."
"Well you nearly scared my son out of his"
"Huh?"
"Were you in my garage?"
"Yea"
"Well, my son was on the couch right in front of you"
"Jesus Christ! It's a good thing he didn't move... I probably would have shot him!"

(Actual conversation)

6. looking for a prowler ...
and my idiot landlord left the cellar wide open. The cops got in that way and were looking for anything suspicious.

If I'm gonna be in my underwear in front of three cops, it wouldn't be for THAT ;-).

And you're posting, so they didn't have a warrant for your HD...
C'mon, talk. What happened?

9. what really gets me ...
is that my landlord KNOWS that my backdoor can be opened by pushing it. You can do it with 2 fingers. My finances are shot to shit right now, but I'm not gonna sign a lease if he brings me one and I will get the fuck outta there ASAP!

"what really gets me is that my landlord KNOWS that my backdoor can be opened by pushing it. You can do it with 2 fingers."

I'm going to just look the other way and go find something else to do right now. Even I couldn't make this one any better.

22. That's scary
One night, in suburbia, the wife and I had just had a toke. This is long ago, no more of that. The kids were asleep in their beds and we were kicking back on a Friday night. There came a knock on the door. I opened it up and to my horror it was a cop. Scared the piss out of me.

Turned out he was patrolling our neighborhood and wanted to look at my truck that I had on the street with for sale signs in it. It was a sweet 56 Ford and I don't blame him for being interested, but man, it was 10:30 at night! What an odd guy. Suburban cops, these guys mainly wrote tickets and called in the city heat when there was anything big.
