Have you ever called the police on your STR tenants?

This last Friday evening I saw a person laying on the sidewalk in front of my STR apartment complex. They were all empty because of the holidays. There is a group of about half a dozen guys staying in about half a dozen apartments, but they were the ones that went home. So I called the police, and they guy one the ground went away on a stretcher in an ambulance. I figured it was someone overdosing, that happens a lot around here.

Today that group of guys came back to start their work.  I got several phone calls from those workers to check on a guy in the apartments because he didn't show up for work.  Turns out he didn't go home for the holidays.  He stayed at the apartments. I went in his apartment.  All his things were still there, but he was not. The door key was on the table, and the front door was unlocked. My tenant was the guy laying on the ground that I called the police on.  He must still be in the hospital.
