We all get worried about our property getting damaged during a move--but what about losing absolutely everything you own?

We've all had neighbors that seem a little off, and whom we side-eye in the hallway. But most of them aren't murderous, or at least we don't think they are, let alone catch them in the act.
In Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 classic Rear Window—maybe the ultimate lesson in "good fences making good neighbors"—temporarily wheelchair-bound photographer L.B. Jeffries (played by Jimmy Stewart) passes the time looking out from, yes, a rear window onto his apartment complex's shared terrace, and eventually, into his neighbors' homes.
We (like all New Yorkers) weren't exactly thrilled at the news that three different N trains were taken out of service this week after bed bugs were discovered on board. We thought the city was supposed to be winning the war on bed bugs, and that of all the places we had to worry about picking up bed bugs (and bringing 'em back home with us), the subway was safe.
