Monday Morning at the Crotch! - July 16, 2018

MONDAY MORNING AT THE CROTCH!

So this morning we chased another group away that were in the alley. They climbed the fence next door and were probably trying to find a way into the vacant apartment.

John my neighbor found a knife and some pepper spray on the ground over behind the Shell. The knife was in a case and had ants all over it. At closer inspection I saw what could be blood and the handle has some sticky residue on it although you cannot see the color as the handle is black.

Called it in to non-emergency and they are sending out someone to pick it up. With all the stabbings lately who knows it could have been used in one and then discarded.

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Saturday Evening at the Crotch! - July 14, 2018

SATURDAY EVENING AT THE CROTCH!

Two folks hanging at the corner doing drugs. A van from Pennsylvania parked here packed with stuff. I was told a pit bull was inside it during the hot weather. I checked and it was not there... I will be checking later.. not the first time I have seen them leave an animal in their stinky shit vehicles.

Two junkies in the alley this afternoon arguing over a hit of dope. The conversation was amazing. One drug addict trying to convince the other of his integrity.

A girl in the bushes at the tire store. When asked what she was doing she said she was resting.

Libby sitting in the alley trying to find a vein with no luck.. First the leg...that won't work... then the arm ...damn that is not happening.. if I did not interrupt her I am sure the neck would have come into play

Thinking of actually giving the alley a name.. Shooters Alley is a nifty one.

Anyway.. this is the daily crap we go through. We clean it up they destroy it. We ask them not to do it here....they ignore us and do it anyway and then leave us nice fresh piles of shit, needles and garbage.

Watched out the window while this one shot up. He passed out. It rained for about 30 minutes and he did not move...although I could see him breathing, Just went out and woke him up. Sat up snot running down his face.. "Wow" he said.... I must have fallen asleep.... Never ends folks...24 /7.

Much Much More from the Crotch - June 22, 2018

MUCH MUCH MORE FROM THE CROTCH

About 11:30 PM last night my neighbor calls saying there are several folks in her alley setting up camp. I get dressed and go over only to find 3 or 4 folks behind her house right across from me that are setting up camp. The reason these folks are there is obvious to most of us here. The old Dental Office has had some folks living on the property in an old car. I have talked to the guy several times telling him that his abandoned vehicle is a draw for SR people.

After chasing them from the alley he approaches us drunk and tells us he is trying to help them. Now this guy claims that the owner has hired him as a caretaker. I have a problem with that. Seems Mr. Caretaker has to use the bathroom at Shell to wash up and go to the bathroom. So why does the owner who thinks enough of him to be the caretaker,,,,not give him a key so he can use the bathroom???????????????????

The people setting up camp were Asia and 2 guys who, no doubt were with her because she had money or dope. Knowing she would pass out in the alley.. they can rob her while she is nodding... Yes...they are cannibals.

So this drunk is telling us...(the group of folks that has made dozens and dozens of calls to try and get help for Asia) that he is helping her.....Insane! There were neighbors from 4 homes out there pretty pissed last night and the owner is going to hear from us.

More... Now the above ended about 1 or 1:30 AM . At 6 this morning I go out to find a red convertible parked in front of my house with trash everywhere around it. A young black man is sitting there. I say hello and he responds. As I am walking my dog I look between the apartments to see a camp set up in the back yard of a vacant house.

After looking further I see at least 15 duffel bags and carry all bags leaning against the fence. I walk back there and the person has constructed a makeshift fence and has literally picked up all of the trash that was back there. I am serious when I say picked it all up. If you had seen it before ...

Anyway this girl Denise shows up blonde hair about 30 and tell me she is just leaving...that her husband kicked her out and left her stuff in the alley???

I help her load all the stuff into this red convertible. The guys says nothing.  Denise is crying. Then I find out they have no gas. I load them up with gas and they leave. It never stops here folks. 24/7 7 days a week.

I was so caught up yesterday will the gunshots that I forgot to mention the other incident. My neighbor tells me that back in the alley is a van and some people unloading it. I went back and confronted them. I asked one of the guys what they were doing, He told me they were taking parts off the van. I looked and crap was everywhere. I said you are not stripping this back here and leaving it. Load this crap up and move along before I call the police. They reluctantly did....and I guess to get back at me when they left decided to dump off a dresser a table and a cabinet at the other end of the alley.

Today at the Shell a guy was in the dumpster. He was having lunch which consisted of the old out dated and non refrigerated burritos from the store. Worrying about the liability of this guy being in the dumpster the manager went out and told him he could not be in there. The guy reacted by standing by the dumpster and throwing about a dozen or so burritos at him. I guess he threw a fit.

A half hour ago I looked out the back and saw a young gentleman squatted against the fence reading a paper taking a crap. I crept out there and yelled ..."What the hell are you doing?" He stood up fast and when he did he crapped on one of his shoes and almost fell as his pants fell down around his ankles.

He became angry took his shoe off and scooped up some poop and tossed it as he yelled, F*^k you.. I got in my truck and drove through the alley and he was gone. I did see the shoe in the road on 84th so he must have decided he did not want it anymore.

This is not a joke. Stabbings, shootings, massive car theft, burglaries, drugs, needles, crap, abandoned vehicles .. like a Mad Max movie. Remember when the series The Walking Dead was considered Sci-Fi?

For those who can care less as you are not subjected to this yet... don't worry....it will be near you soon!

Quit Needling Me! - August 27, 2018

FROM THE CROTCH....

QUIT NEEDLING ME !

These are a few pictures I took at Wal-Greens on 82nd and Holgate. Among the nasty camps all around it, I found this right up against the back of the store just around from the pharmacy drive thru. Must have been 50 needles in one little corner. I was on my way to an appointment and called Char to get on the phone with them and tell them to clean that nasty crap up. Thank you Mr. Wheeler for allowing these scumbags to not only terrorize neighborhoods but local businesses also.

The junkie robber and dope peddler has been banished from the neighborhood...since his absence we have noticed a huge reduction in folks on that side of 83rd's alley problem.

Thanks to Brad, Anna, John, Rita, Old John, the folks that adjoin us on 84th, and my kids for getting involved. A day at a time.

Still amazes me as to the ignorance of those who live among us and have no idea what the hell is even going on in their own neighborhood...

This morning we were greeted by a few drug dealers. You know the old saying....The early dealer gets the junkie. Well, Brad first saw them at 5 AM.  At 6 AM I came outside (morning yogi) and watched as 2 cars parked down by the Shell were selling their goodies.

On my way to coffee I stopped and asked them what they were doing here and they said. "just talking". Two males - one blonde female.

At about 7:30AM John and his wife came out, Brad and Anna and me and my son Josh. They waved at us....so I walked over and he said his name but I can;t remember it...He then said they were homeless and just parked.  Brad and my son came walking up and we explained that this was not the block to be on. Brad told them that he had seen Asia at their vehicle. I told them I had seen 2 other stop by and it was obvious what they were doing. They left.

10 minutes later a person at gunpoint stole a car from someone at the Shell Station.

At 10:30 when I got back from bidding a job there were three folks in my alley.

I just got back to this post after almost an hour in the alley I was taking some pictures so you could better understand what is going on here

While out there I came across a new camp that just sprung up over the last few hours. Where they get all this crap to drag back here I have no clue.

This one was sleeping.. all around the pad he was on were needles and garbage. Asked him if he was okay and he jumped up talking some crazy stuff about how us people that own things are fucking the world. Brad, John and other neighbors came out and he got more and more crazy. At one point he picked up a board and came at me swinging it.

By this time yes,,, same concerned folks out there, as this is our neighborhood. He finally left after a lot of crazy talk. 

The police came, we gave him a description. Brad even offered him a ride to a shelter and he refused, By the way.... he says his girlfriend is 8 1/2 months pregnant and they are not going to a hospital to have it.

Remember the alley I am showing you was cleaned up not too long ago by our group, Char has pictures of it after the cleanup...This is what it looks like now..with dozens of needles,,,

The Crotch

A guy pulls into the Shell this morning only to find some dude and a bunch of tweaks in a truck that was stolen from him. A fight breaks out, the tweaks scatter and the guy gets away with the truck again.  Only in Lents folks.. only in Lents!

Of course under our current GTA laws the burden of proof on getting nailed for stealing a car damn near needs a confession to get a conviction.

Like our local LNA seems that the folks who write rules to abide by are lacking in either education...or do it purposely!

Stupid or deliberate .... they can choose which !

A Day at the Crotch - July 5, 2018

LENTS / A DAY AT THE CROTCH !

Did not get pictures of the 2 in the alley this morning. The second time that I could hear them but not see them and just yelled for them to leave. Watched another 3 or 4 ramble on down the street as they rubber neck looking into cars and front yards. When you confront them.. they say they are looking for cans. Of course...what is wrong with me, Everyone knows that most folks keep empty cans in their cars and front yards!  How stupid of me!

The next one was sitting with his back toward me and would not answer. I could see smoke and saw aluminum foil everywhere. He finally...after telling him to leave got his shoes back on and stood and and quickly walked away,  Stumbling down the alley leaving a trail of small sheets of foil... Minutes later another...this one very aggressive. He was picking up aluminum foil and rigs looking to see if anyone left any dope.

I told him to leave the alley. He told me to go fuck myself. So I again told him to leave the alley. Told him we were tired of them using our alley as a place to do their dope. He picked up a rig and a piece of foil and proceeded to tell me he was cleaning up. I stuck my head over the fence and started yelling at him to get the hell out of the alley.

He them picked up a cabinet door that was lying there and threw it at me hitting the fence just below me, As soon as I started to go over the fence he took off running toward Hing Mings,,,yelling as he left.

Please spare me the sympathy and bullshit. If any of you out there are Rainbow Unicorns and have compassion for this shit...speak up. They aren't leaving behind skittles and rainbows ,,, just feces, needles and aluminum foil. Post your address and I will gladly give it to each and every one that comes back here, I am so very fucking tired.

A lady attempted to steal one of the work trucks on the asphalt on on 83rd and Foster. 

Several calls from folks reporting a junkie doing dope sitting right in front of their house.

Four junkies shooed away from our alley.

Last night we walked up on a guy who was moonlight fixing by the trash cans at the Shell station. He actually continued to fix while we were talking to him.

As I post this just heard we have a few more in the alley doing their dope.

Never a dull moment over here. Getting to the point where we call a day like this.. A good one, compared to most!
