Dude, where's my stuff? Wis. apartment cleaned out

Mon Mar 2, 9:09 pm ET

MADISON, Wis. – A man left his apartment for five hours and came home to find everything gone. An efficient burglar? No, police say, just a landlord's error. Police said the landlord manages different properties, and meant to have an apartment cleaned out that had the same number in a different building.

Instead, a maintenance worker cleaned out the apartment of 36-year-old Edward Peterson.

After he called police, Peterson found most of his property in the trash bin. He got the TV and remote back from the apartment's rental office.

But some possessions were gone, including about 150 CDs, 10 DVDs and books. Also missing were credit cards and about $300 in cash.

The landlord said Peterson will be fully compensated for his losses.

i would have made two calls the first to the police and then to my lawyer! but then i never told anybody i was a nice lady.

I would be pretty upset, especially about anything irreplaceable like pictures, etc if those were lost.  But anything else wouldn't bother me too much as long as they replace/compensate for whatever was thrown out.

Somebody goofed big time though
