Construction Worker Charged With Stalking, Rappelling
Ah, Spring. A time when some men woo women with flowers and fancy dinners, while others simply rappel off their roofs and through their windows. The Post has an exclusive on a lovesick construction worker who became so enamored with an unidentified Upper West Side woman that he decided to take his courtship to a repellent level (ha!) by swinging into her apartment through her bathroom window.
The suspect, 29-year-old Flavio Quito, became smitten with the 36-year-old resident of a 10th floor apartment on West 76th Street while doing work on the building between February and May. But when he opened his heart to the object of his desires, she recoiled. Quito persisted, and she told him to stop approaching her, calling her, sending cards, flowers and adorable plush bears. The final straw came when she returned home on May 15th to find her bathroom window broken.
Some five weeks later, the police tracked down Quito, who confessed to rappelling off the roof and through the window. (Apparently he lost his nerve and left before she came home.) Quito’s currently out on $5,000 bail; he’s charged with burglary, stalking and a complete lack of skills.

"complete lack of skills" is just a misdemeanor.

It's his way of meeting someone on(a)line.

hispanic men would do anything for love...
and come on girl, with a name like Flavio - how could u NOT like him?

Somebody's been watching too many old romance movies. Tip to Flavio: in real life, women generally don't finally give in if you keep chasing them. Too much persistence and an inability to take "no" for an answer creeps them out.

it's a case of being ugly and gross. If this guy were handsome he'd be every woman's fantasy.

it would have been more romantic if he climbed up the side of the building with no climbing equipment. then she could have punched him in the face and he would be SPLAT!

Its funny, this could be a screenplay for either a romantic comedy or a horror movie, depending on how you spin it...

Calling her? How'd he get her digits?
[ report this ]
This is all a mistake. He just wanted to wash her windows and one broke. What's the big deal?
It's hard to find someone to do windows today.

He had enough nerve to BREAK AND ENTER. What a dick.
