Now that's a story!!! Had you smelled anything over the past week or so -- something like, say, a decaying body?

So, last night I'm minding my own business, watching Horror of Dracula on t.v. and at the critical moment when Van Helsing finally confronts the fiend with a pair of candlesticks chasing him towards the approaching sun, I hear a sound very much like the sound I would expect to be made by a pair of clydesdales dragging a referigerator up my staircase. Startled, I run to the stairs to see what's making the noise only to realize it's coming from the other side of my semi-detached -- or rather -- the house next door with which I share a wall. I also notice at this time that there are several fire trucks and numerous police cars parked out front. There is a knot of maybe five firemen standing on the steps in front of my house. Concerned, I step outside and ask the firemen if there's a fire. "No fire," one of them says, "please go back inside." So I go back inside and watch from the window as a rivulet of policemen begins to pour into the house next door like leaf cutter ants and a group of about seven more hurry down the alley on the far side. This is followed by a fireman carrying a sledge hammer and a very heavy bag. After a minute, there's a teriffic pounding that shakes the house. Police leave the alley, go inside the house, police leave the house, back into the alley. Fireman goes down the alley with a huge crowbar. More pounding, glasses clinking in the cabinets. Soon there's a group of policepersons gathered on my front steps, more pounding. I step back outside and overhear one of the policemen say "I can't believe none of the neighbors reported this!" Then they turn to me. "Can you tell me what's going on?" I ask. "Nothing for you to be concerned about," one of them says, "please go back inside." So I go back inside, finish watching Horror of Dracula, pounding continues along the side of the house. Eventually everybody drives away. How do I find out what the heck was going on? Does the UCPD print a blotter? What event taking place next to my house could be so evil and nefarious nobody will tell me what it is? http://www.asc.upenn.edu/usr/cassidy/lj/2004/firetruck.jpg kc ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
