"After that situation, a few weeks later, I had someone tap at my window. Again, I called the cops. This time they didn't catch him, but they stated there were calls about a man walking around the complex masturbating. It makes me feel uncomfortable to think I could encounter something like that coming home late at night." Vinas said he and the complex are workirig together to educate res idents.
