Scanner Reports 7-15-19

By Roger the Scanner Guy

Love that song Monday-Monday by the Mamas and the Papas. Over the Weekend I heard a call on West Arrellaga that someone was refusing to leave a residence and the Reporting Party wanted them out. They said the person was from “Craiglist” and I thought “that’s not good, not good at all.” At first it sounded like the reporting party took someone in but more than likely they rented the person a room and if that is the case it could be a civil problem, not a criminal matter, but for the reporting party it’s a nightmare. Sounds like they just rented to The roommate from hell.

When it was time to me to move out of one place back in the early 80’s I wanted to do it right and find a nice place so I went to Roommate Referrals and paid 50.00 Dollars for a list of rooms as that was all my budget would allow. I found one quickly in the area of Turnpike and Hollister for 450.00 a month it was on top a 2 car garage, huge room furnished with a King sized bed, a dresser, and a desk, the windows were such that when opened air always came through fresh and cool. There was a shared kitchen, bathroom, and a built-in swimming pool in the back. I was not there very long because my roommates were from Hell all of them. Everyone there had a gun. I found a loaded .357 Magnum in my dresser that the last guy left behind. No one was there when I moved in Friday night. I was given a key a couple days before and told I would have the place to myself that weekend. I should have grabbed my money back and ran! I got all my stuff moved in with the loaded gun in the bottom drawer, looked at the pool but did not go in, cooked dinner cleaned up went into my room reading then fell asleep. I heard pounding, loud pounding and yelling it was coming from downstairs the front door. Still dark I went downstairs, the clock on the wall read 3 am I said “Hello who is it?” and heard back “Open the door you sumabitch!!!” I did there was a big thick guy in his 40’s screaming at me “Your doing her now huh? She likes em young where is she?” I was 22 years old bout ready to crap my britches I had no idea who this guy was but realized they knew he was coming and left for the weekend, everyone was gone except for me.

The guy was yelling then he started swinging on me I had no idea what to do so I rushed him we both went out the door tripping down the stairs and into a bush filled with stickers. I jumped up ran for the phone called 911 they got there quick took the guy away. We woke up everyone in the neighborhood. The next morning I met David another roommate who was sitting in a chair in the corner of the living room peeking out the drapes, he had a chrome plated .38 Smith and Wesson on his lap. After introducing himself to me he said “If you see anyone messing with my car out” there pointing at an old 75 Chevy Nova let me know and I’ll shoot them.” OK I said then turned around and headed up to my room where I spent the rest of the weekend. I went to work Monday I worked at Montecito Shores off Olive Mill Road as a janitor after work I took the bus home walked in the Land lady was sitting in the kitchen naked as a Jay Bird and being a young man I did look but should not have. I got some food then went to my room a couple minutes later she knocked at my door. I answered and she was pointing a loaded gun at me below the belt…”Don’t get any funny ideas,” She said As soon as she left I shut the door grabbed a few things climbed out the window and did a hang drop the HELL outta there.

I know about RoomMates from Hell this story I told to a woman who put parts of it in her book. I tell it better as she just moved things around a bit. Best Room Mate you can get is a Fur Baby. I had more roommates through the years, several women, I was involved with but after a couple years there were mutual breakups. I moved in with others but the roommate thing never worked out for me. RoomMates are really weird and it’s a skill to find the right one. When I lived alone I took many people in through the years out of the many I took in 2 was OK. One of them was Belinda if you have to get a Room Mate don’t get them from Craiglist, It’s better to get a Dog, or a Cat and an extra job. HERE are YOUR SCANNER REPORTS.
