Death becomes him
I lived in a great house with a drug dealer and my party animal friends in Croydon. We weren't exactly conformist, running a soundsystem and dealing acid at festivals was the order of the day, and we funded this by me working at Woolworths and shoplifting from the inside. Anyhoo...

One day the shifty greek landlord told us we'd be getting a new housemate. 'Fine', we thought. 'Wrong', we were.

Craig moved into the minature box room at the front of the house a few days later. In the year or so that he lived there we saw him a grand total of two times. I had the misfortune to live in the room next to him and the oddness began when I was 'entertaining' my then girlfriend. In mid bone I would hear shuffling noises by my door. Needless to say it's pretty hard to keep pace when someone odd is shuffling at the door. I would get up and try and catch him, but he always got into his room and locked the door by the time I got out.

He would only ever leave the house at 3am, and always carrying a black bin liner over his shoulder. We would hear the door lock when he returned at 8am. After a few months we started noticing a really strange smell coming like formaldyhyde coming from his room. It was at this time I got my girlfriends mum to do a bit of detective work. She worked at the DSS and had a friend who managed to get into his file.

Lucky us! Craig turned out to be a sex offender who had recently been released and homed within the community.

One day we came home to find our dog missing. Craig appeared and said he'd 'let him out to play' Craig ended up on the floor leaking rather a lot of blood from his face.

We never saw Craig or the dog again.

Blimey.
That's pretty heavy.

But I'm totally baffled by someone who needs to fund drug dealing by working at Woolworths. You're doing it wrong.

Getting high on their own supply?
