The CPA from next door came over. Since he came from around the corner of the building, and didn’t drive into my lot, I didn’t see him until he encountered my locked door. He tried the door and then waited for me to open it for him.

Me: that’s exactly why we keep it locked!
CPA: it’s not that bad a neighborhood.
Me: you can never be too careful.
CPA: Well, I just came by to tell you guys we were robbed last night.
Me: Oh no! Really?
CPA: they stripped all the copper out of our a/c. We have no a/c today. I can feel yours is on, though, so they must not have noticed yours. Where is your a/c unit?
Me: Much more clearly visible from the road than yours.

Anyway… isn’t it a bit ironic, then, that he would chastise us for locking the door, take a breath, and announce they were robbed?

    technically, they were burgled. robbery is an act of violence like, for instance, pepper-spraying someone and beating their head in with a gun while thieving.
