CAGiversary!
Short version: Friend moved in a psycho hot chick who trashed the house, stole his money, and now isn't moving out!
Here's the long version, for anyone who's up to the task. This is VERY LONG, so beware!
My friend Nick has gotten himself into quite a mess in the last couple of months. He's renting a 3 bedroom house, and his last roommate left on short notice, leaving Nick to pay the rent by himself - which he couldn't afford to do - meaning he had to find a new roomie, fast. Enter Craigslist - He put up an ad looking for a roomie, got a few replies but nothing panned out.... until Alea replied. She wanted to move in right away, and had the cash in hand... an offer he couldn't refuse, and it didn't hurt that he thought she was HOT! She has 2 pit mixes, which Nick wasn't too enthused about living with, and had a job as a flight attendent (though she was on worker's comp for the past 2 years, she was supposed to resume working in a month, making plenty of money)
She started moving in her stuff right away (this is the very end of March, BTW)- tons of things, clothes, etc. in walmart bags. All these bags went straight onto the living room floor. She didn't move in any furniture other than her couch... Nick's furniture got moved to the patio or the garage. Since she didn't move in a bed, she slept on her couch in the living room.
Weeks went by, and she still didn't get settled in. In fact, the bags upon bags of things kept piling up. It got to the point where the floor couldn't be vacuumed in the living room because of all the -stuff-. And boy, did the floor ever need to be vacuumed! The dogs DESTROY all their toys within hours - doesn't help that Alea buys her dogs boxes of Walmart 88c dog toys - not designed for tough chewers. Every day, it was a warzone, stuffing and cloth and chewed up plastic bits everywhere. Once, Nick moved some of her bags into a bedroom, and he got chewed out for moving her stuff.
At this time, she was supposed to go back to work in 2 weeks. The place was still a mess, and I offered to help get things together. I stayed at the house for a week helping, and the only thing that got done was spraypainting half the furniture white, and chopping down the trees in the backyard... Nick and I both asked her if she could, maybe, start getting the inside of the house together, but that was denied - to her, the painting of the furniture was of utmost importance, and cleaning the kitchen counter off so it was useable was low on the list.
In the second half of May, Nick was checking his account balance online, and noticed a couple charges he couldn't account for. Since they were checks, and the online banking provides images of his checks, he looked at them, and SURPRISE! These 3 checks were written out to Alea, in what looked exactly liker HER handwriting (and didn't look anything like Nicks' writing, or signature). There were a total of 3 checks written out to her, by her, totalling $1200, deposited over 4 days during April. Nick called the bank and asked for their advice. He knew that he couldn't live with her now, but he couldn't kick her out right away without having a replacement roomie to help with the bills. He reported the checks as fraudulent, and signed the affidavit stating he didn't write them. It was now the bank's turn.
Meanwhile, the situation at the house was getting worse. Alea still hadn't returned to work - it seems whenever she needed to go back to work, she "accidentaly" hurt herself and needed some more time to recover. The dogs took to shitting in the back room (her supposed bedroom, though the room was still empty) She didn't clean it up, either. The entire house stank of dog shit, and the scent was detectable even standing on the front porch. I personally went into the room a time or two and picked up the piles of crap that were accumulating and threw them outside.
The kitchen was also disgusting. Alea must have some sort of OCD condition, because her actions don't make sense otherwise. For more than a month, the dishwasher was unusable, because she had it filled with shampoo bottles, lotion bottles, toothpaste bottles, etc. The dirty dishes were piling up on the counter. It got to the point where EVERY dish and cup were dirty and sittng on the counter. Alea didn't want to use the dishwasher and wash the plates, because she "needed" to bleach out the cabinets, and the dishes would have to be washed again anyways. I got fed up with seeing modly cups and took it upon myself to take her shampoo out of the dishwasher and actually wash some dishes.
Eventually the bank got back to Nick about the checks. He was waiting on them before giving her the boot, hoping that the bank would get the money back out of her account and she would realize that he knew about the theft... unfortunately, that never happened. The bank returned the $1200 to Nick, but they never went after Alea for writing the checks - the paperwork was late, they said. Nick talked to someone at the bank about this, and they said if he filed a police report, they would send out their PI and hopefully get something done to her. Nick was torn in between reporting her to the police and getting her charged with multiple felonies and messing up her life - and trying to get $1200 out of her (since he already got his money back from the bank, this would be an extra $1200).
A little over a month ago, Nick was fed up with the situation - 4 months of living here, and the house was still a wreck, and she still didn't move in any furniture. He decided it was time to confront her about the checks. He had copies of the checks from the bank, and went outside with her on the patio and put the checks down on the table, and said "explain this". Naturally there was a big sob story, "Oh I don't understand why you're doing this, I thought we already discussed it"... He told her that by tommorrow, she better be able to give him a damn good reason not to kick her out and report it to the cops.
A day, 2, passed, and she didn't say anything. Nick decides to confront her again, this time in front of me and her boyfriend (who was a friend of Nick's). Her story goes, "Yeah, I took your money because I needed it really bad, but then after I did it I asked you about it and you said it was OK." Strange, because Nick doesn't remember any of this. She says she left him voicemails and text messages where they've discussed this, and she'll prove it. She says she doesn't want to live with him if he doesn't believe her, and she says she has 30 days to leave, legally, and then she'd be gone.
Now we are at the present...
Unsurprisingly, it's been 30 days, and she's still here. In fact, after she said she was going to leave, she moved MORE stuff in. She's been wanting to "talk" with Nick the past couple days, about what, I don't know, but we're expecting her to say something like, "I'm not moving out yet, I don't have any place to go, please let me stay".... Yeah
ing righ. For the past month, she's hardly been here - she maybe comes over for 30 minutes a day to take the dogs out (and they're still shitting on the carpet)
Here comes the best part - pictures! The pics of the house were taken today...

Her Bedroom... the furniture was just moved in this past month, she's never used the bedroom (obviously)
Garage
Oh, almost forgot a picture of the she-devil herself (not the best angle, but all I have right now)
