Dockside Property Services

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Dockside Property Services usually buzzed with activity, the office was unusually quiet. A lone coffee cup sat on the counter, its steam rising in the chilly air. Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind a filing cabinet, rubbing his eyes. 'Good morning,' he yawned. ‘Did I miss something important?' Turns out it was just the night watchman, dozing off after another uneventful shift.

2. At midnight, when Dockside Property Services was long closed and quiet, a delivery van pulled up to the back entrance. The driver, fumbling for his keys in the dark, accidentally activated the security camera's night vision mode. Suddenly, a familiar voice called from behind: ‘Hey, you forgot your flashlight!’ It was just a neighbor dropping off some spare batteries. The delivery driver sighed with relief, realizing it had all been an overactive imagination—and maybe a little help from those new night-vision cameras.

3. At closing time, when Dockside Property Services' lights were already off, an envelope mysteriously appeared on the manager's desk. Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Sorry for the late notice, but our family needs a bigger dockside home.’ The manager laughed and called out, ‘Next time, please use the doorbell!’

4. At dusk, when Dockside Property Services was almost empty, a neighbor's cat would suddenly appear on the reception desk. The cat would sit there, staring blankly at potential buyers as if judging their suitability for owning a seaside home. Eventually, an exasperated realtor would gently usher it outside, only for the feline to reappear moments later, its tail twitching with impatience. Finally, after hours of this routine, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe we should just list the place as “comes with resident cat”.’
