boschetar homeless

I woke up to a homeless person in the staircase, so I started looking into this phenomenon as it appears in Bucharest.

• The person sleeping in the staircase seemed cooperative.
• People answering the phones were less so.

This morning, my aunt asked for my help going down the stairs.

There I found a homeless person whom I invited to leave. He got up, put on his shoes, grabbed his bag and his pants (weird how homeless people never seem to have pants that fit and/or belt / suspenders) and left. I followed him to the ground floor where the elevator door had been “set” open, and “unblocked” it.

Weirdly, the main entrance had been recently replaced so he should not have been able to get in.

Immediately, I called (021) 9524 which is supposed to be the number to call, but there, a hurried voice told me to call another number, namely (+4)0734454543, which I did, but that didn’t really work – see the recording of phone calls (Tt). I bothered making the Clipchamp video and posting it because to me it sounded as if the second phone call was purposely downgraded to the point where I couldn’t hear the other person. 

I posted the video on TikTok as well as YouTube. For TikTok, I was going to use the lyrics from Pink Floyd’s Time:

[Part II: Breathe (In the Air) (Reprise)]

[Outro: David Gilmour]

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

Alas, I couldn’t find it quickly enough so I settled for Hello (Is there anybody in there)?

I plan to read more on Romanian (Bucharest) shelters and keep calling until I can talk to someone.
