It was my downstairs neighbour's birthday yesterday; I offered to take him out to dinner.
In the end, it was cancelled. He popped up to see me shortly before we were due to go out. He said that he'd gone out for a few drinks with one of his friends on the Friday night, and thought that one of his drinks had been spiked, as he was feeling terrible, and had no memory at all of most of the evening.
He's just popped up again now. Apparently, there are other things that he doesn't have memories of. Specifically, that he'd gone for a meal at one of the restaurants downtown, run up a fairly large bill, and then run out. And how do they know it was him? Because he'd left his wallet behind. Which does rather imply that he wasn't especially rational at the time; it doesn't exactly take a criminal mastermind to realise that leaving your wallet at the scene of the crime is not the wisest thing to do.
He doesn't even remember being there; I've suggested that since they apparently have CCTV of him, he can ask to see it, and see if there's anyone with him. He did try to tell the police when they called him that he'd had his drinks spiked, but of course after this amount of time, there's nothing left in his system that would work as evidence.
I may just spend the next few months safely locked inside the apartment...
