neighbor

question:

what would you do and think if your 87 year old neighbor that was supposed to feed your cat whle you were gone told you this upon your return: While you were gone, he saw an asian mom and her two kids inside your house and when he asked who they were, they gave him a mean look and pretended they didnt understand him? he says he saw them coming down the stairs, as if they just spent the night.

Now, let's just say absolutely nothing was missing from your house, and nothing looks disturbed at all. the neighbor is also quite old and regularly repeats himself, and you think he has alzheimers?

i think he's gone wacko. i called my landlord and he has no clue who that is/nobody else has keys, and he thinks the old neighbor needs some serious help. he also thought the neighbor would have called him or the police if he really did see anything like that. plus when the landlord ran into the neighbor a few days ago, the neighbor said nothing of this to the landlord, but did mention he was taking care of the cat... man i think the neighbor dreamt this story up last night...his mind is replacing real memories w/ delusional ones...a definite symptom of alzheimers... rest in peace to my grandfather, who was a victim of alzheimers. at one point, alzheimers hit him so bad he was talking into the remote control, trying to pass it around to other family members in the room saying the phone was for them, and that he just had a nice conversation with someone on it....its a crazy disease...

so what do you think?
