A friend is selling her townhouse in downtown Baltimore. She has already left the state and asked me to stop by, spruce up the yard, check on things, and leave a key for the garage in the mailbox for the realtor to pick up in time for closing at the end of this month. When I was checking on the back of the house, I noticed that there was not a key lock on the garage, but a combo lock. Of course, dropping off a key for a key lock makes no sense when there's a combo lock on the garage. So I peered inside and noticed that the garage is full of furniture. I talked to a neighbor who happened to be outside who said that some people showed up last week and put the furniture in there.
I talked to the owner, who is understandably irate, and she said these people, presumably the potential new owners, must have cut her lock off and pre-staged some of their furniture in her garage. This is one of the more bizarre things I've ever heard of. It's got to be a felony (breaking and entering), it certainly affects my friend and her insurance as the current owner of the house. She wants me to go down and cut the lock off and slap a really good one on.
I don't think that's the right thing to do, but I'm struggling to find the idea that has me say, "Aha, that's it!". Um, help?
