'twas Christmas Eve about 20 years ago..... I was going down to an empty unit to use it as Santa's assembly shop for gifts that needed to be assembled. As I walked down the drive I noticed someone had plugged an extension cord into an outside outlet. I followed the cord to where it ran under the door into a 10x15 unit. Putting my ear to the door I could hear a TV playing...
Figuring this was a good time to scare the pants of somebody, I stood back and slapped the metal door as loud as I could with both hands. I heard a gasp and a very timid and shaken "who is it?" Obviously they could not lock the door from the inside, so I threw the door up to find a woman lying on a fully made bed, watching TV with some coffee brewing in a coffee maker.
In my best Grinch fashion I threw her butt out immediately. I noticed an ashtray full of butts next to the bed, so there was absolutely NO WAY I was going to let her stay in there a minute longer. I escorted her to the gate and watched her go out. The entrance gates were closed for the night so I knew she couldn't get back in that night, and the next business day I terminated her rental agreement and wished her the best of luck. There are shelters for people that need proper living situations, stealing electricity from me and smoking where it is specifically prohibited leaves me no choice but to remove them from the property.
Ba Humbug.
