Thefts at Heaven's Gate par for the course

The latest incident involving theft and the demons' "anger management ritual" at Heaven's Gate Recovery Homes is not the first; rather, identical incidences extend as far back as October 2006, when I was a resident at the Berryessa Road location, which is no longer a part of the business (pictured, right):

The theft/terror routine devised and enacted at Heaven's Gate in 2006 repeated itself verbatim in 2012, albeit with different players (Lee Ayers, House Manager, being the only exception).

Fortunately, in at least one incident of theft, and as is implied by the money judgment awarded to me by the Superior Court of California, I was able to recover damages. The document below orders another former resident to pay the value of electronics stolen from me:

Although I have yet to collect, I am thankful for having learned how to staunch the flow of thefts—and possibly recover from them.

Similarly, a suit will be filed against Heaven's Gate, and, in particular, Lee Ayers, in an attempt to recover the monies which were taken for the payment of rent, and for which a room was never actually provided.
