The new owners of the bldg are making "improvements"...when I got home from work, my front door was wide open, the key dangling from the lock, and the door was unlocked. My cat was at the front door crying his eyes out. Whomever came into my home - unannounced - while I was at work, moved his litter box and completely covered it with trash. Leaving it by the front door. He couldnt use his box all day. Poor guy.

I was stunned. These undocumented workers have been irresponsible and creating havoc and unsafe conditions for those living here since they started. I had no idea until tonight when I went to my neighbors for help. I was afraid and didnt understand what was happening and why my door was open like that.

Apparently, their reckless, irresponsible behavior has affected others who have reported the matters to the management company to no avail.

These strange men were in my home today, and not only did they leave a mess, they left my home wide open. They removed decorative security bars in the outside of the windows, as well, and did not replace them leaving me vulnerable to intruders.

My little home, my valuables, along with my furry family member who is the most valuable priceless loveball were subjected to possible further violations due to the negligence of the owners, workers and management company.

I called the mgmt co rep right away and took photos of everything. She could not have cared less. She cut me off mid- sentence and told me to just send her an email with the details. I am angry and frightened. I feel as though my home was invaded and somehow has been tainted by these dirty bast**** that were in my home.

My neighbors were very supportive and stayed with me to make sure I was safe.

I dont know what went on in here today, too, because the cat is very agitated.

I keep telling myself what my T1 taught me, "I am safe and at peace" and "I can handle anything that comes my way" but I still feel afraid and panicky.

This is/was my "safe place". I invite very few people into my home.

In addition, on a more superficial level, I am very upset that I was not notified anyone would be coming into my home so I didn't have a chance to tidy up this morning before leaving for work. And that also makes me feel violated. And a little embarrassed.

I will lock up the best I can before settling in for the night. And try to sleep. I am feeling frightened, violated and fearful (irrational, I know). And I feel as though I never want these men to come into my home again.

I am angry too that they invaded my space and were so irresponsible. I want to file a police report and call ICE to come for a visit tomorrow, as well, to haul them away.

I may feel differently in the morning but right now I feel so alone and just want to protect myself from further harm.
