If you think a stranger is on your balcony....they probably are

I live on the third floor of an apartment building and I have a balcony off of my living room. Lately I've been having some insomnia issues, and I can't fall asleep till 4 or 5am, which means I sleep in later than my usual. This morning, around 8 am, male voices woke me up. They were so clear and loud, I could hear every word distinctly, I thought to myself "gosh, they're being so loud it's almost as if they are on my balcony!" Later in the day, after picking up my sister from the airport, she noticed that the iron railing of our balcony had been freshly painted. Go figure.
