Eviction of a squatter in Badalona, a store that collects vintage records and books.

The owner has already reported the incident 6 times. attempted occupation of the premises on Sagunt Street, in the sophisticated Progrés neighborhood of Badalona, paradise of the natural products, esotericism, and gourmet cooking and baking.

“This is the sixth time they’ve tried to get me to sleep.” declared the owner of Wham! Vintage and Retro Store Badalona, record, book, and vintage store in Barcelona

"-That if you are not going to even notice, that if I am not bothering you, that if with all these books, comics and records that you have here, I don't need anything else to live..."

“There have already been six attempts at occupation this past week. I'm fed up, and the administrations don't pay attention. They come in, their eyes turn into hearts, and there's no way to get them out. I can't get rid of them even with hot water.”

Israel M. owner of the peculiar business, and distinguished member of the Royal Society of Nerd Collectors del Papiol, denounces that although At first they seem like potential clients, and some have even made some purchases, they return equipped with backpacks to settle in what, for them, is A kind of paradise filled with rare books and comics, vintage and antique objects from the 70s and 80s, movies, vinyl records...

The Mossos' milkmaid, full of thugs, has had to intervene on occasion to evict the current squatter, some of them He even chained himself to the counter and had to be restrained by several officers., while others cut the chains with the shears.

Several neighbors reported the scandal, while the retirees of the bar-restaurant “La Masia de la Xesca,” a roundabout spot for old people disguised as a bar, according to Israel, remained impassive, watching the spectacle, but without stopping talking among themselves about football and how bad the country is.

“I want everything to go back to the way it was, I shit on cell phones and fucking Steve Jobs!”

After the sad spectacle, the owner, between sobs and resignation, declared:

“-That's it… until the next one, if the same one doesn't come back… because of course… the thing is that now he comes in, they sign him and he comes out again, after all he hasn't stolen anything, he hasn't broken anything or done anything to anyone, he was just threatening to read everything we have by Tolkien, Stephen King, Alan Moore, Ibáñez… and of course, that's not a crime, right? It's a minor offense… Look, no matter how they put it, Barcelona, and especially Badalona, IS TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, I'm this close -he puts his index finger and thumb together- to going to set up business in Andorra, where there really is something there.” security and cheap premises. ChatGPT told me.

    I bought a vinyl soundtrack for the movie Christine online a week ago and I'm very impressed with the product. It was in perfect condition, the packaging was excellent, and the shipping was super fast. It's a pleasure doing business like this.
