The office door

Don't worry, we bought more locks for the door! The first week here (I wasnt yet living in the office) someone drilled these holes in the door overnight (Russell didnt even hear them). We went to the police station and they said they would come check it out, They never did until I saw one speed by on his motorcycle and flagged him down while I paused the soccer game I was playing with Dora's nephews. I came, he saw, he complained about the fact that there are only 5 officers who work for the Altagracia station and that they don't have time do deal with these things. Finally I asked the obvious question; ok, so if someone tries to break in while I am living here, what do I do? He said: Correte. Translation: Run. Hmmm, Well finally he gave me the police officers cell phone number, since the land lines come and go like the rain and the electricity and the internet. He came back and took a photo the next day, just for kicks I think, because we havent seen him since. But we pretty much know the kid who did it. They call him Vampirin or Vampire. Hes a scrawny little brat of a kid and he normally hangs out on the street corner where the office is at night with his sidekicks. The neighbor lady across the street throws water on her sidewalk so the kids dont park themselves there. I cant say I havent tried it ;)
