A cop showed up at my apartment a few minutes ago. He was looking for the tenant of the house right behind mine and asked if I knew who the landlord was. I told him I didn't, because I'm a subleaser and just moved in. I'm assuming it's nothing serious because he just thanked me and left-didn't ask any other questions or for my information or anything- but, of course, now my imagination is running wild and I can't help but think that one of my neighbors is a serial killer or a member of the Russian mafia or something. I mean, this part of town DOES look kind of sketchy. There aren't a lot of businesses around here (most of them don't even look open most of the time), the houses and buildings are all pretty old and run-down...I don't know. It just seems like the perfect setting for something shady to happen, and after that little visit, it seems like whatever shady happenings there are are going down about ten feet away from where I live. AWESOME. I know, I know, it's probably nothing; the guy probably needs to pay a parking ticket or something. Otherwise the cop probably would have said more-right?
Either way, I'm avoiding walking home after dark.
UPDATE
I told my roommate about what happened, and according to her the tenant the cop was looking for is a total creep. He pretends to be nice to the neighbors, but he beats his girlfriend and his dog and deals drugs- not a serial killer or a member of the Russian mafia, but a massive douchebag nonetheless. I hope they found him.
