Nightmare in B9

So I woke up to the worst nightmare imaginable. Police banged through my front door (Sat. morning), damaging it completely and wanting to know who and what was in my apartment.

I had been in my bedroom (doors closed) so I didn't hear any of their noise. They busted open my front-door (see photo). It was a huge destructive entry into my apartment. They saw me, said they were trying to investigate the smell coming out of my apartment (i.e. a box of old salad I had put near the front door so that I would remember to throw out the next day). They informed me of that and then simply left. Yuck! :-(

Found this on the ground while out on my walk. We all know what this was for, right?
