Well....Let's really think about this.
Apartment complex, upstairs apartments with good views, lot's of people living in one area, people coming and going at all hours.
Would you really be that brave to risk that?
apartment compex = residential, trash can not be picked up until after 7am sometimes 8.
So now we are into daylight hours, very busy, people leaving for work. People taking out the trash before they leave to work. Depending on the size of the complex, trash is not removed daily but by-weekly and then again on a week-end. She would really have to have studied the truck driver for some time to get his route down and we all know that the trash guy never comes at the same time all the time.
Then the fact that anyone could have driven up on her walked up on her...I just do not think she would have risked it! Just my thoughts.
