'This Week Just Keeps Getting Better' or 'Happy Kansas Day'

Last night K and I went with the youth group to snowboarding lessons. (it was excellent, by the way) However, the events of the evening soon took a sharp turn. When we returned home to flat 19, the plate for the lock on the door was removed and the key did not fit. We called up Barry and Paul and they called the police for an attempted break in. While we were waiting for the police, our neighbor upstairs started pounding around and being very vocal which led to bottles being thrown out of his window along with 'flaming shreaded paper,' as K recalls. After a few minutes he came outside and started to talk to Barry and Paul with 'negative, threatening enthusiasm.' All the while K and I were huddled up attempting to comfort each other as we tried not to listen to all the yelling coming from the neighbor. Finally the police arrived and tried to calm our neighbor down along with taking an account of flat 19. K and I are now staying with Paul and Ruth for a few days until we get 19 sorted out. We're going to meet with Tim Foley as well tomorrow to discuss what has occurred. It was such a strange and scary evening. As of right now we are okay but still shaken.
