What the hell is up with the Chicago police that they send plain clothes officers to buildings at 2:30 in the morning to ring the first doorbell they find (mine) to report that someone (who is out of town, I don't know well, and doesn't live in my apartment) had their stolen scooter (which nobody told me was stolen) found. Needless to say I did not believe that they were real cops (despite the fact that they were big white dudes who were clearly out of place in my neighborhood) and have done very little to ingratiate myself to the local authorities (Quote: "Next time you need help call the federal police"), I did eventually let them in because they were being a major nuisance and my upstairs neighbor told them that she wasn't here and they left. 10 minutes later a uniformed cop drove by shining lights into the the buildings next door, honking his sirens and asking for my buildings address, he was here for the same call and I ran out and said that she's not in and we've already been told about it, he was older more polite and left.
