I went to work this morning and while I was working away about 10:30am I got a phone call. I was told that someone set a fire outside my front door. I rushed home and the police and fire inspectors were here. My door is scorched and it’s been kicked in. My carpet is wet and has sooty footprints all over from the firemen. The firemen tried to open my blinds to open the sliding door to let out the smoke and broke the blinds.

The police told me that they caught someone on the cameras leaving just before the fire was called in. The fire was set on purpose. The 2 pieces of carpet that was outside the door, to wipe your feet on, were destroyed. The door frame and threshold are gone. The inside trim is destroyed. I’m scared to death to stay here now. I’m afraid they’ll do it again in the middle of the night or something. It smells like smoke in here. I need to get out of here!!

The fire department also broke down the door to the condo downstairs because they weren’t sure where the fire started at first.

Right now I’m sitting here with no secure door waiting for someone to come and replace the door. I was told they should be here soon.

UPDATE 12:44pm: OMG insurance adjusters are a bunch of vultures. There have been 2 here in the last hour and a half!
