Neighborhood note
Noticed on this morning's walk that the door has been popped open on the long-vacant 'bad flip' at 4104 W. Crown. This property had an attempted McMansion wing added to a tiny original house, and it's been unfinished and open to the elements for at least 7 years. In theory the pop could be wind ... we had some 35ish gusts yesterday ... but seems unlikely. 35ish doesn't pop latched doors. Could be that the structure is starting to bend and break. Most likely transients or kids.
Later update after the 70 mph microburst windstorm on 7/23: The door is still open at the same angle. If the door had been left open by humans, this storm would have thrashed it around, possibly ripped it off. At the very least it would be standing at a different angle. Thus I conclude that it was opened by an earlier warping of the structure, causing it to jam firmly against the floor.
