just walk right in

shortbreadlover — Sat, 13 Oct 2018 20:28:34 GMT

i was having my swamp cooler shut and the repairman was on the roof. a drunk homless guy came into my yard and wanted to chat. he left and we went inside so i could pay the repairman. well, this homeless guy comes back and walks right into my house. i usually keep the doors locked but i did not lock it this time because the repairman was going right back out.

the nerve of this guy. i told him to leave. well, he went outside and then used the restroom in side of my fenced yard. i called the police and feported it but it did not do any good. i had to call while he was in the act.

this city needs to get real about the homeless that they want gone from the fancy neighborhoods.

I guess he came in because he wanted to use the restroom. But he should have knocked or rang the bell. Even then, I guess I wouldn't have let him in. It seems mean but you don't know if he has other intentions.

I would have gone ballistic & thrown him out.

If I had to call the police all day to get them to deal with it that's what I would do. I would not put up with that.

@ValuSkr No it's not mean. Nobody has the right to just walk in someones front door.

@roxxy1. It's an evaporative cooler people in very dry climates use for air conditioning. They myst be drained of water in the fall and shut down for winter.

How sad, maybe the fancy neighborhoods could invest in porta potties so the homeless would not ask to use your bathroom or relieve themselves in your yard. I have a composting toilet outside in one of my sheds where we and anyone who is working for us goes.

the city of salt lake doesn't care about the homeless. they are clsoing the shelter because the property has become too trendy and the rich investors wanted them gone. so they closed it and now the homeless are moving into other neighborhoods.

it is so sad. they claim they are helping but it is just a fancy pr ploy

I was grossed out years ago in Salt Lake City when I watched from our hotel room as homeless men shaved in the public drinking fountains every morning about 6:30! Ewww. Otherwise, the City was spotless. We've returned many times, but we avoid that side of the hotels. I don't want to watch them! And, the panhandling is terrible there. I'd never seen panhandling before. WOW. Lovely City, but apparently lots of problems. We've had no problems taking walks around the residential areas, but downtown is another story.
