A friend of mine owns a condo in a nice new building downtown. It turns out the condo next to his is being rented by the night. A couple of weekends ago, at about 1am, two drunk guys enter his condo carrying a case of beer. It turns out that the key of the sublet condo opened my friend’s door lock as well. The drunken guys had made a mistake but started shouting: What are you doing here?! I rented this place today! After arguing, they realized they had entered the wrong condo and left. It turns out that when buildings are under construction all door locks use the same key, the builder is supposed to change them as the units get sold. This was not done in these condos.
My friend was very shook up and it just shows you the absolute mess speculation has caused in downtown San Diego.
