Just when you thought it was safe to go back into your appartment

[Crema Americana]

I may make a cauldron of boiling oil to pour on them if they happen to climb up and try again tonight.

Glad you were able to avert the crisis and sorry to those who have had such bad luck! Living in Buenos Aires is for the brave and vigilant.
