I don't know what people have been told in America, or even if my emails reach them, but almost no one responds to me.

Please state your name, and the names of the friends I have stolen from, together with dates, times and places of the alleged offenses. <br /><br />After my illegal eviction on June 10, 2009, I can tell you exactly where I slept every single night, including the nights I was forced to sleep on the street. After I arrived back in Venice from Meran on July 17th, I spent most nights in youth hostels, which I had to pay for with no income, just cash handouts from my REAL friends. Many nights Cleopatra and went hungry.<br /><br />In Merano, on July 5 through the evening of July 8, I stayed at the house of MICHAEL RASCHER, who I have since denounced. I had to call the Carabinieri to have Cleopatra returned to me. On the night of July 8, I stayed at the Imperial hotel in Room 34. On July 9 through the morning of July 13, I stayed with a woman whose initials are H.B. On the night of July 13, I stayed at the house of Elfie Margraf. On July 14, I had to have the police arrive at Elfie's house in order to have Cleopatra ONCE AGAIN returned to me. That same evening, I was voluntarily taken by ambulance, called by the Polizia, to the emergency room in Meran where I was interviewed by a psychiatrist and given a document that said I was sane, did not take drugs and drank moderately. It also said I was under extreme social pressure. That night Elfie paid for me to stay at the Kolping Hotel in Room 309, across the street from her house. About 10PM she called and told me that Cleopatra had magically reappeared. <br /><br />The next night, July 15, I stayed again at the Imperial, in Room 34. <br /><br />On July 16, I used the last of my funds (except for train fare) to check into a youth hostel and prepare a 4-page denuncia with 34 attachments, which I filed with the Polizia on the morning of July 17, 2009. That same evening, when I arrived in Venice, I found the locks on the main door to my apartment building changed, together with the locks at St. George's Church, both locations with my possessions inside. That night, I stayed in the Hotel Rialto, apparently for gratis. The next night, July 18, 2009, Cleopatra and I slept outside in Campo San Vio because the Chaplain of the Anglican Church, John Henry Bowden, refused to let us inside and we were now completely without money. The next morning, July 19, 2009, John Henry Bowden slammed the side door of the church on my right arm and leg, and held me pinned for about 10-15 minutes.<br /><br />Do you want me to continue, ANONYMOUS????Cat Bauer in Venice Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376687575392758300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658567784785639005.post-60324952709581007402009-11-03T14:14:45.048+01:002009-11-03T14:14:45.048+01:00do not believe anything this woman says. she has g...do not believe anything this woman says. she has gone insane - and i don't mean this in a mean way, but in a real life "lost her mind" way. she accuses everyone she runs across for whatever comes to her mind, steals from her friends that are kind enough to give her shelter. she is not to be trusted and everyone that knows her in real life agrees that she needs professional help.<br /><br />i know you'll just go berzerk if you read this cat, but stop for a second and in your poor psycho soul rest and see what happened to yourself. this is not the way a normal human being acts.<br /><br />and you should also start writing the TRUTH in your blog, enough with all the lies. god sees everything cat. he sees everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658567784785639005.post-73019909187993843032009-10-21T16:23:38.002+02:002009-10-21T16:23:38.002+02:00I have my fingers crossed that your situation will...I have my fingers crossed that your situation will be resolved soon...!<br />Hladd-NYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658567784785639005.post-47677688041777167512009-10-21T13:59:59.531+02:002009-10-21T13:59:59.531+02:00Good luck!

That is why I illustrated the blog with a Venetian bauta, which is sort of similar to a burka.<br /><br />The Ufficiale Giudiziario (who, remember, entered my house WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT) kept telling me I had to take all my belongings or nothing. This same conversation has been spinning for months now. I said, WHO IS MAKING THESE RULES? Where is the legal rule that says I must take everything or nothing?Cat Bauer in Venice Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18376687575392758300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658567784785639005.post-70091654168605728862009-10-14T16:59:34.468+02:002009-10-14T16:59:34.468+02:00Does this mean you're roaming the calles in a ...Does this mean you're roaming the calles in a burkha now?
