You are a lucky fella and keep the stories coming. BTW, I have a partner who once had a dead hooker in the swimming pool at one of his apartment buildings ... not pleasant and an interesting contributor to "high turnover" rates at the complex.

The first time you get shot at you are dumbfounded. The second time you realize you are in the wrong line of work.Thank Heaven you are okay. This is yet ANOTHER reason I don't recommend these neighborhoods. Well, it's one reason in a very long list. I spent 9 years as an investigator in the DC area.

Falling off the ladder never crossed my mind but, that easily could have happened.MoneyMan... How do I know who took those shots? Could have been the police for all I know. lol. Seriously though, I like your idea.Glad all of you liked reading the story though. Honestly, it took a few people's urging to get me to finally write about it. I hadn't up to this point because I thought the actual event was... Un-eventful. Had it not been for the neighbors, I would have never thought I was shot at. I do admit that the written story here, seems more interesting than what my memory plays back in my mind. Regardless... Thanks for reading it and I appreciate your comments as well. Are you ready to read about the "Flea House?" A foreclosure property I was involved with that was infested with fleas and... 17 cats! Next Week! Cindy… Falling off the ladder never crossed my mind but, that easily could have happened.
