Actually we’re pretty sure it’s just white latex paint. According to a neighbor’s eyeball witness testimony, the canister was deposited in Craig’s yard at the direction of Maria Santana, local landlord extraordinaire — a name that may be recognized by long-time readers.

    Yes, the NOFD responded to your problem and actually took action to make it right. (I had a similar experience with them.) If only the NOPD worked that way.

    Wow–a stern voicemail. Why didn’t anyone else think of that? I’m sure she’ll get right on it.
