Oh yeah, & I assumed that nobody would actually believe that I said this kind of stuff to a cop. No foul langage or disrespect. ---

Jeez, dude. Either give an accurate account of what happened or request that the thread be closed. Because, to be perfectly honest, if you come across in person as you do in this thread, I’m with the cop. ---

**Bosda** isn’t going to answer or give a full account of the events. I’m not sure what his intention in starting this thread was. ---

Nobody posted here for days, & I’ve been busy packing. I’ve got a chance to move to a much nicer, & much **quieter** , place. Packing eats up a lot of my time. As for the whole incident, it was the last of at least 2 dozen calls to the officer over the last 2 months, over the noise. The officer blew a gasket. And I’m out of there! Final move-in is Friday, & I am visiting my Father over the Thanksgiving holiday week. ---

Did the cop help you pack? (I keed, I keed.) ---
