Gabe, I wish you hadn´t moved out? You do realise that this could quite possibly be the pinnacle of your web-based life? I almost don´t want this debacle to end... I´m dreading the day that he finally does give you back your bond..hehehe.
Why don´t you partner up with people that are willing to go and live in this place for a month, and let them keep posting the stories on here and sell a bit of advertising for the site. Gary wouldn´t have to know that they already knew what they were getting into..
Think about it!!

Out of fear of grammar/punctuation Nazism that has already started to infiltrate this site, I would like to add that the first question mark was a mistake, alright? Hrmmmm.
"Gabe, I wish you hadn´t moved out" was meant to be a statement, and not a question.
At ease.

This is too good. You should start a screenplay based on your "adventures" with this nutjob. ...and by the way, i guess he was too daft to realize that he wrote "your are", instead of "you're" or "you are"...then again, grammar isn't exactly hight on his list of priorities.

I thought you were going to say he went back inside and added an R. You falsely gave him credit for being grammatically correct in a five word note.

I think that the "Coward" addition is written in a different hand than the rest of the note. Did Gary possibly have an accomplice?

I think that this note is my favorite handwritten note of all time. If only it were rolled up in a bottle floating in the ocean, it would be pure perfection.

Gabe:
I love reading your blog. I'd like to point out, however (and this might strengthen your case somewhat), and eviction is something handled by the courts. It takes forever. Your landlord (in this case, Mr. Friendly here) goes to the court to ask for an eviction (due to nonpayment of rent or whatever). If he gets it, the Kane County sheriff would then serve you with a notice of eviction and 'help' you move your stuff out of the premises if you do not do so by a certain date.
As it appears you were living with this jackass, I'd move voluntarily. However, as it appears that you were keeping up with the rent, didn't cause damage, etc., so you'd be entitled to your security deposit. In Illinois, landlords MUST put your deposit in a savings account, so you're entitled to your security deposit PLUS interest. That might pay for the parking meters outside of the courthouse or something.
If you haven't already, I'd make sure you had photos of the house inside and out. If you're on good terms with another roommate, have them do it. I wouldn't put anything past this guy to create damage and blame it on you.

why is nobody commenting on the awkwardness of the phrasing? i know we've established that Gary is certifiable, but YOUR ARE??!!? c'mon, that is great. not only did he fall into the classic homophone trap, it appears that his intent was to say:
