Security

Tonight was an evening of odd discoveries for the lex. FIrst off, our sink has been leaking for awhile, we've made a few phone calls into Belva (our landlord) and it sitll hasn't been fixed. Well, when Aaron was over to help me paint the other night, I had him take a look at it and he said it was almost as if the pipe was stabbed with knife. Janelle then came up with the idea that maybe our maintance guy (who seriously is an old scruffy looking homeless guy who shakes) was probably entering our apartment to create damage so he would have a job. When she mentioned this, I really didn't want to believe it, I guess I never like to think the worse about someone. Then today when I was home for lunch, the toilet seat was up, something that would only happen if a guy used it and from the moment we left for work and came home for lunch, the only thing we can assume is that our maintance guy was in our apartment. So now we must decide if we go against the lease and change the locks ourself or contact Belva and someone how make it clear to her that we want them changed and while she can have a set for herself, we don't want the maintance guy to have access. I guess it made me think a lot about how secure we need to be. I grew up in a town in which we never took our keys out of our car and while we may have locked our house at night, most people would have a key to their home on the set the was in the car. I know that this is a situation we have to address and a dead bolt lock will probably be something we want to install, I guess I don't know if these discoverires really have me questioning the idea of how security or if I just feel bad to be making such conclusions about the maintance guy when really they are just our assumptions, but then realizing too that their are some crazy people out there and maybe I should be more concerned.
