Well, that's great, but the only prob was that my door was left unlocked and slightly ajar!!! I probably should have gotten the on-property police officer to accompany me into my apartment, but I went in and everything was fine-- nothing missing. But still! I checked in all of the rooms, cupboards and even in the dishwasher for a would-be burglar. Totally freaked me out. I called management this morning-- this isn't like them and I know it wasn't intentional-- but HELLO! My door was left wide open for about 6 hours into mid-evening!!!!!

Oooooooo!!! I feel your pain!! I was renting an apartment last summer that was undergoing a lot of renovation and construction. I went to work in the morning (about 5 minutes from where I lived) and later that morning, about an hour and a half later, had to come home to get some papers I had left at home. I walked down the hall and noticed my apartment door was completely gone - off its hinges!! And there was some guy on the floor, cutting a section of carpeting (they were laying new carpeting in the hallway that day - but hadn't told me). And in full view of anyone who cared to walk by was my laptop and a brand new box of checks, among other things. I was pissed!! Of course I went off on the guy working on the floor - why wasn't I told (no notice at all), etc. and he started "ma'am-ing" me ("I'm sorry ma'am"..."We didn't know you'd be coming back, ma'am"...) which made me even MORE incensed.
I had become pretty good friends with the landlady and called her right away to complain, but I didn't get the sense she knew what a seriously big deal this was for me. I decided to let it go because I liked her, and because it was only a temporary living arrangement for the summer - but still!!
