He broke into my daughters house a year or so ago and he’s still at it.
Very sad. I remember Sam when she was a little girl. Very sad that she’s turned to drugs. Hopefully she wakes up before it’s too late. As for Javier, I don’t personally know him, but I’ve heard he’s a real winner.

Is that the girl who works at getti-up?
You can tell she’s a drug addict but she really went down hill fast!
I’ve worked at the Getti up since February. I don’t know her to work there.
She is a good girl who got messed up with the wrong guy!
Disagree she was well on this path before she settled with that shit show.
The skinny tweaker looking girl, the one that looks exactly like the girl in the photo. Pretty sure it’s the same person.
The resident found “to” burglars…..? 😉
