Criminal on one side, fire on the other

I talked earlier this week about our little meeting with a bounty hunter who's after a criminal who's apparently living next door to us.

I left for work yesterday morning and saw a car outside of the townhome on the other side of us that had something about the fire dept. written on the side of it. When I got back from work, there was a business card for the fire marshal with instructions to call him "about the fire next door". Throughout the evening we saw people going in and out of the place with ashes on them. Later in the evening there was a garment restoration van that stopped by.

I'll take a petty criminal over a fire!

Later yesterday evening, the bounty hunter stopped by again. He let us run copies off of the mug shot and some other information on the criminal they're after. He's wanted for giving false information. Not that bad, right? Right. (Never mind why he gave false information in the first place...I'd probably rather not know.) And the criminal doesn't really live next door. His mom does and he stays with her sometimes.

The bounty hunter is a nice enough guy. He told us about how he got into what he's doing and how much he doesn't like Dawg from that A&E series. He gave us his card in case we happen to see our neighbor's son around.

Happy one week of home ownership!
