My dears, there comes but a few times in life that it seems impossible the story known could possibly get any more wicked. Hold tight to cuppa, have I got a tale for you this morn.
There once came to the Linda Villa a wicked fellow, masking self as a gentleman. In tow, he brought the missus, a step-daughter and small child. Hat in hand, the wicked fellow charmed all as to his deserving help as he was a reformed person who had cast off the wicked ways of the past and now saw the light. HE HAD FOUND JESUS.
No more would he find pleasure with a needle stuck in arm, or take property that belonged to others. Not wanting to be a lazy layabout scrounger, he would throw off the dole and WORK for what life had to offer.
Being a right wicked fellow, he knew how to con one and all. He went to a social programme and got them to pay his way into the Linda Villa. Sat in front of management in place and charmed the knickers off. In short order, the keys to flat were his and the real nasty part of the con began to take shape.
Moving in, the wicked fellow did not place order to transfer electric into his name. He was going to get for FREE, leave out of his name and hope it would never come to light. Being a fan of the telly, he set about getting that for FREE as well. Drilled holes through walls and closet to get connected with neighbours.
Having charmed the locals so well, he went so far as to ring up other wicked folks and tell of the naive folks at the Linda Villa, primed to be picked clean. In short order, horrid urban trash from another area showed up and filled more flats. They too did not pay for electric, or many other bills, come to think of.
With so much got for FREE and the number of local social services available to con gone through, it was no surprise that the wicked fellow stopped paying rent. Mind, he did keep charming the knickers off management to keep reports flowing to Murray Kay that there was a slim chance that past rent would be paid.
Thousands of dollars later in lost rents, and the added cost of court, the wicked fellow was forced out of the flat with a court order of eviction. That had to wait until the sheriff came and posted the door as it was returned to Kay Properties. The wicked fellow had fixed the door so that it required being broke down to reclaim flat.
My dears, do not leave yet, the story takes a very strange twist...
When electric had been reported as stolen, the company came out and locked the meter. So well were the locks used that the wicked fellow could not break into. He tried. So hard did he try that it required multiple trip out to correct and at end of day it still had not been sorted out.
A telephone call came into the office. "Rent-A-Center" said Caller ID. Was gobsmacked to hear that the wicked fellow had gone to this business to get furniture and electronics for new flat. The lovely lady was calling to get verification of his being a tenant in 'good standing', asked for former management she did. Fancy that.
Given that the most wicked fellow is scheduled to be in the nick on March 1, am most curious as to why furniture and electronic would be needed. How would they be paid for, or where to be found?
Much of the drama that played out at the Linda Villa can be placed at the door of the wicked fellow's flat. He had folks conned or very afraid. He was able to do as he pleased and got others to do his bidding as well. Save, one or two flats, all that were friendly with the wicked fellow are departed. Hard lessons have been learned and trust in folks has been lost.
A most wicked fellow still walks among us. He uses drugs in most horrid manner. He steals. He lies at every opportunity. He is a benefits cheat. In short, he is the very model of a lazy layabout scrounger. So gifted a con man is this wicked fellow that he still walks the road doing harm.
Any bets on the odds of his turning self in March 1 to go to the nick??
