21st Precinct - The Mover

Frank Cannelli, Captain in Command of the 21st Precinct, started his day tour at 8:35 AM when Sector Car 5 came by his house to take him to the East River Drive near 61st Street. A gravel barge had sunk in the river on the previous day and salvage operations to clear the channel had begun that morning. Cannelli had anticipated that the work would create a curious attraction and result in a serious traffic problem along the East River Drive. As Patrolman Dylan, the operator of Sector Car 5, drove Cannelli to inspect this condition, He saw in the block ahead a large moving van parked at the curb in front of 181 Sutton Place North, one of a row of large and elegant residences which had in recent years been converted into multiple dwellings of medium-sized expensive apartments. Also parked there were two departmental vehicles, Sector Car 2 and the Sergeant's car. Cannelli says "Dylan, pull into the curb". As he did, Cannelli could see Sergeant Waters standing on the sidewalk talking to an attractive and well-dressed woman. Four moving men were several feet away, engaged in conversation.  Cannelli says "Alright, stay with the car, Dylan". He says "Yes, sir". Waters says "Hello, Captain". Cannelli asks "What's the trouble here Sergeant?" Waters says "Mrs. Linwick, this is Captain Cannelli, commanding officer of the 21st Precinct". She says "How do you do?" Cannelli says "Mrs. Linwick". Canelli asks "What is it Sergeant?" Mrs. Linwick says "I just want my furniture, that's all. That's what I had these men come for, to get my furniture. They're standing around and I have to pay them while they stand around. It is by the hour, you know". Cannelli asks "Well, why can't she get her furniture?" Mrs. Linwick says "That's exactly what I'd like to know". Waters says "Well Captain, seems like the super won't let her up in the building. He won't let her into the apartment". Cannelli asks "Why not?"  Waters says "The super says she separated from her husband about three weeks ago. He says he's still living in the building. The super said he's got no right to let her go in there without permission from the husband".
