If he writes us back and we help him decide if he should shoot him it would take too long. We would debate what caliber gun he should use, if he should make a silencer, what shooting position he should take, should he shoot him in the morning or evening, etc. You know how it works around here!

(Digital photos, preferred.)
1. Take a picture of this 'guy.'
2. Take a picture of his vehicle.
3. Take a picture of his license plates
4. Call Poh-leeeese. Give them the above information. (Photos are more reliable than memory.)
5. IF they don't respond. . . . go get your bow and arrow rig, THEN shoot him.
(We don't need anymore gun play.)
Wouldn't the news media just love to hear about some "Robin Hood" shooting somone with a compound bow!?!?!?
Hey. . . it IS fairly quiet. . . right?

I didn't see the guy when I came home. Next time I see him I plan on giving the locals a call.

we may have to wait one week. Bargod said "he visits once or twice a week".
I am sure the local females at the apartment complex all are aware of him. I bet they make sure he isn't around when they take out the garbage. Ask some of the female tenants.

The guy was back today. I was out working on my truck and he pulled up. Just wandered over to the dumpster to take a gander at the new stuff in there. Instead of pulling a Robin Hood, I called the police. They asked if he was still there, and when I went back out he was gone. The dispatcher told me that all they could do was tell him to stop, and that I should call when he comes back. The worst part is that my 11 year old daughter was getting ready to take the trash out.

if the guy's just looking around in the dumpster what do you care? how'd you like for someone to call the cops and report on your business when you spill something working on your car

If he is legitimate, I won't care at all. As stated before, I have an 11 year old daughter and I want her to be safe. You can play "what if" all you want with your kids' lives, but I would rather be safe.

omg would you listen to yourself
you're too scared to go ask this guy what his business is so you're making him some kind of creep out to hurt your daughter. gimme a break. if he was a sex offender wouldn't he be hanging around playgrounds or something?
you've seen this guy three times now and each time all he did was look around in the dumpster. is that what you're going to tell the cops? that you haven't seen him actually do anything wrong, like look for people's personal papers, but you're scared of this guy you haven't even talked to and want them to come and make him go away

Bargod--you mentioned apartments? When I lived in apartments (about 5 1/2 years total here in Wichita), the managers were pretty interested whenever someone was hanging out that didn't live there. It's their property and yes, if the residents are concerned, they are too. I'd call the office and see if anyone else has mentioned him, and let them know what's up. They might call the police, or at least a security company to keep an eye on things.
As far as asking him yourself what he's doing....that isn't your problem, it's the apartments'. Very good reasons--he might be a peaceful dumpster diver or he might be a nut. Probably the former but no reason you should have to find out yourself which one. That is the job of the apartment managers or the police, not the residents.
