Overnight Visitor
I thought I would share this with everyone.
The other day, I needed something out of my clipper, so I popped in to grab it. I had been doing some stuff in there a while back and so I knew I had some things out of place. However, when I walked in, I noticed some clothes lying around - they are normally in ebags packing cubes. Then I saw my gloves on the doghouse (they were in the console), and a pad of paper. There was a note. I don't have it right here, but it said something about please. Then "they want to kill it", and then something about just do it.
The handwriting was very nice and everytbing but please was spel!ed correctly.
Well, with that, I looked carefully at everything. What this person did NOT do:
Steal anything (I had a camera, telescope, mp3 player, lanterns, etc., All things that would have been worth cash or handy to have.
Do any damage. Nothing was broken, ruined, vandalized, etc.
What he did do:
Had a couple sodas (I stopped drinking them, so they were over a year old)
Ate my all-dressed chips (OK, that one made me mad)
Ate some good-n-plenties
Slept in my overhead bed.
Toilet appears unused. But for ick factor, I will wash all clothing, bedding and wipe down everything.
There was no break-in, so I must have left the door unlocked.
While I know there are folks who will harp on how horrid this is, I can honestly say I am not upset or anything. I have since locked it up and will be more careful in the future. But, this was most likely a schizophrenic and not some tweaker or lazy arse. He had a nice warm restful night, had something to eat, treated my stuff well, and left me a thank you note. :)
Seriously, I consider myself lucky and in the end I helped someone out.
