He's a cool guy and it was no big deal, but apparently the neighbors complained to him a few months ago. I told him I'd take care of it and he told me I should because they threatened to call the cops on me if I didn't.

Now, I know from hearing them talk that at least the mother is an illegal, but she has two anchor babies (well, at least one, I just assumed both were). I think the father has residency or a work visa or something, but it was the mother who called the landlord.

I happen to know where she works (her paystubs often don't make it into her mailslot, instead they're usually on top of it, along with most of her mail. I guess they don't collect it often or the mailman sucks). I also know her husband or man always buys the Chinatown copies of movies that are in theatres. I see him with a new movie every day or two and he usually offers to loan it to me when he's done.

They're a really nice family usually, except for the mother. But I can't abide snitches and I absolutely hate hypocrites. So...
I called the ICE tipline and told them an illegal Mexican was selling bootleg DVDs from their home. The officer who followed up told me that they were considered a "removable" illegal. And they would look into it. I gave him her jobs name too.

This was a few months ago. I forgot all about it, but then I realized there were some people looking at the apartment downstairs and my roommate said she saw cop lights outside her window the other night. I haven't seen her in a while, and only one of the kids played out back when it was warmer. The guy has been looking upset lately, and come to think about it, he hasn't offered to loan me a movie in a while. Haven't seen him carrying any either.

So long, snitches.

Complaining to the land lord instead of calling the cops to correct something she was worried about was pretty nice of her.

Calling ICE and having a family deported and making their children's lives worse is pretty low thing to do over an awkward conversation with your land lord.

What if the reason pot smells bothered her was because she was afraid someone else might really call the cops so she wanted to scare you away from smoking around there?

There are plenty of ways you could cover up your activities. I would have went that method, but if you're satisfied with the outcome congratulations I guess.

I've since started using a dryer sheet to cover the smell.

Maybe she should have remembered the old saw about people in glass houses.....

Maybe.

I bet her kids will learn that lesson. AMIRITE!?
