So last night I didn't get home until around 2am. Went to Avatar and then went to the pub for some celebratory drinks that Christmas break is finally here with one of my uni buddies. Ended up having to walk home all the way to my apartment while getting harassed around one of the Ubahn stations by African drug dealers/potential muggers. Super.
Went to sleep as soon as I got home. Woke up at about 6am to a VERY LOUD crashing noise. Great, what the hell are my noisy neighbors doing NOW?! But only this is really loud, like someone trying to break in. So I jump out of bed and my girlfriend is already at the front door holding it against the door jam - the banging is so loud and powerful our door is jumping (Altbau).
Banging stops and we open the door and hear "POLICE! POLICE!" Some guy is walking down from there and we ask him what is going on and he says "Police are doing something" (this is hard to translate from German to English). No s***, Sherlock. Turns out he works for the cops as I find out a little bit later.
Another cop walking up there - no answer. Just the response "It's over." Good - but WHAT is over?!
I go up there after it quiets down and I see two SWAT officers coming down with their big ass battering ram. Same response. I ask if I should be afraid and they ask if I have a reason. No, but you guys were just hammering in a door at 6am in the morning - what would be your first response?
Ask another pair of cops going upstairs - same response.
So yea ... I've gotten pretty friendly with the woman who is in charge of making sure the building is taken care of and she lives across the hall from the scene of the action. Gonna go and ask her what the hell is up, because if I'm honest, I'm a touch afraid. Who the f*** is REALLY living above me? Al Capone or something?
