i was walking up the stairs to my place and this guy was just randomly standing in the stairway and said hi to me..
i didn't think anything of it but it was a little odd that he was just standing there so i asked him what's going on, and he's like "i have to break into my own apartment, i just locked my keys out" and frankly I believed him.... but he then proceedes to climb up into the apartment having had removed the screen from a window.
i don't have any bad feelings whatsoever, and your feelings are supposed to be going off if that was something bad that was happening, right? but ..... is it better to be safe than sorry, to go call the cops about it?
what if it's his place and he has drugs in it? i dunno.
i'm thinking to just forget about it but i don't want to be responsible for someones rape/murder/theft.

Call your super first, report it to the complex, they'll deal with it.

well if he lives there, wouldnt you have seen him before? do you know al your neighbors? if you really must, knock on the door and ask him for his id... tell him its because you think it was just a little weird and all and youre just making sure he really lives there... if he does, he will appreciate your interest, laugh and show you. if he doesnt he might act 'offended' and defensively... oh and have a bat on hand just in case

That's a very very bad idea. If someone did that to me, I'd tell them to fuck off. Knocking on someone else's door then demanding that they prove their identity to you is a great way to get into a fight, especially if you mention calling the cops on him. And especially if you have a bat in one hand. That is just a retarded idea all way around.

Wasn't somebody on the board arrested after breaking into his own house and a neighbor called the cops.... who proceeded to enter his home (thinking it was being burglarized) and find his cult project? It's horrible circumstances like that which make me think several times about ever calling the police for anything.

well i couldn't get hold of the super and he wasn't at his apartment so i guess i'll just let it go.
i'd feel worse calling the police than i would not, which means that i don't think anyone's life is in danger at all.
but if i did think so i wouldn't hesitate to call at all..... fucking war on drugs though you know if there weren't a possibility of him being a normal guy with normal illegal things in his place i'd just call anyway to be safe since what's the worse that can happen to him if the cops come?

the supervisor idea on the other hand is what you should go for if you already havent...

Watch the place for a bit... see if he leaves...
I guess by the time I post this it's probably too late, but if he's burglarizing the place he's not going to stick around very long.

well
i heard him open and close his door shortly after the event...... and he didn't leave.
he may have been waiting for me to leave though.
the number i ahve for the fucking super doesn't even work anymore so it's either cops or not doing anything... and at this point i guess not doing anything is the best action.
i'd like to beleive that if it were a crime my emotions would be flaring up but i'm pretty unaware of things and naive.

also he was in those tight workout shorts that don't seem to have pockets so him not having his keys adds up.

Well, I don't think you can expect yourself to instinctively know that it's a crime based on how angry you get.
Keep an eye out, maybe knock on the super's door and ask about that tenant, what they look like or something. Then you might be able to confirm things.
If someone broke into my apartment, and someone witnessed it and didn't call the cops, I'd be PISSED. On the other hand, if someone called the cops on me 'cause I locked myself out and I got in trouble for having drugs or something I'd be PISSED as well. So it's definitely a tough call.

well technically the cops wont go busting in and all... theyll knock, ask the guy to step out, ask him if he lives there and to prove it with an id... they dont have the right to go in without a warrant or justifiable cause like someone in danger and stuff

no, no it wouldnt... i know cause last year my parents went on vacation and i was left with the home for 2 weeks of nonstop party.. the cops literally came 7 times in one day... i was drunk as fuck with 2 girls in my bedroom and ounce of pot. they had come on a call that they had heard screaming and someone was getting 'raped' i just laughed said no, no and showed them my id to prove i did infact live there and that was the end of it.
until the next day... but thats a different story

... if I was your neighbor, even if that had been me breaking in, I would kind have appreciated some sort of call.. at least to the super. Otherwise I'd know that pretty much anyone could break into my apartment without challenge.

damn that is a good point. i'm thinking now that it's been long enough for him to be long gone i should go knock on the door to validate that he lives there.... or go ask his neighbors something.
