I live in a block of flats. Civilised people and generally populated of professionals. Been here a few months. No trouble or much dealings with the other occupants. All seem decent enough. Small block, 10 flats. Got in from work tonight at 5pm. Everything fine. 45 minutes later, my girlfriend arrived home and the door mat had been moved and there was something under it. Turns out to be a jazz mag of the queer variety with a questionable substance upon it.
What do you take this to mean!? We're confused. I could kind of understand if it was a student block on a Friday night but middle of the afternoon on a Thursday? What's going on. I don't think we have done anything to annoy anyone, in fact we rarely even see or speak to anybody so it's not like we know them well enough for them to do it in a jokey way. The block is secure so it was most likely somebody who lives in the block. Somebody having a laugh or something more sinister?
My other half laughed it off but to be honest, I'm quite annoyed. No other mats appeared to have been moved. What would you do next. Forget about it or try and chase it up.

Funny you should say that actually. Play footy on a Sunday night. Mate dropped me off outside and we were chatting for a while (sounds bad!), car was a little steamy (again, not in that way). A few people came and went from the block and glanced over. One car gave a beep as the, I assume, thought it was somebody up to no good.
Then 4 days later, this happens. Might not be related, just me being paranoid.
Also, the mag is dated Jan 2011 so somebody has actually put some thought into it. Just seems a bit weird to buy a bent jazz mag and place it there.
Actually quite annoyed. She said that it's not something you would do if somebody had got your back up.

You have an admirer.
Think I've posted this before...but it's apt and still makes me laugh. One of my mates was out the country for a month, so the day he got back we were all sitting in his room (he lived with his dad) catching up. We kept suggesting that in his absence his dad had probably been watching his Sky in his room (the only Sky box in the house at the time). This progressed on to suggesting that his dad had probably been watching the adult channels in his room at night. Once the seed was sown, we hid porn under the cushions on his armchair. By a stroke of luck he found it while we were still there - I'll never forget the look of horror and disgust on his face 
Found out later that he didn't speak to his dad for about a week.
By the way, I didn't put the mag under your doormat...

ETA - and of course the two incidents are related. You've got yourself a homophobic nutter in the block.
Sleep tight.
This is what I'm thinking too, to go as far as doing that, it's got to be someone pretty fSleep tight.
king weird.Put a note up to casuallly inform everyone that the police may be around soon enquiring into the recent break-in and sexual harassment case, once the DNA results are back.
Stick a note on your door thanking whoever it was for their interesting way of expressing interest in you, you're flattered but unfortunately are not gay.
So they realise you're not gay and feel a bit silly.
But you should get a dna sample from it just for interest, it would drive me nuts if I never found out who did it.
