Monstrosity Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Around 4AM I was sleeping and awoke to a loud crash! It sounded like someone busted through the door to my house. I snapped right to and went for my piece (only to remeber I sold it earlier this month). I then grabbed my cell and called 911. I told them I think someone may have broken in but am not sure. My roommate shacks up with his gf on Thursdays and if he comes home its usually before midnight. I waited for two cops to show while on the phone with the operator. When they got here I came out of my room and saw that my front door was opened but the chain was keeping it from being wide open. I let the cops in as we studdied the door. It appeared that someone had either pushed it open or the wind had blown it. Puzzled I let the boys search the house while I looked at the door. After talking to them we figured it was the wind... Wow I'm embarrassed... I've had other issues at the place I live that were real and warranted in the past. Plus before I went to bed I found out that one of my buddies was jumped close to campus and they took everything he had and some other robberies had occured not to far up the road. Gotta love college towns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gen3flygirl Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I really can't blame you for your reaction. Cops probably got a good laugh out of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I wouldn't be embarrassed about that. Now take that boot/coat money and get a reliable house gun, even if it's a $70 single shot 20 gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one cop responded to my roommates call years back when my car was being broke into by some kids. He remembered me and what the thieves had taken.

For 3 years I walked around with a broke elbow and kept being told it was Tennis Elbow. I finally got that fixed this past fall. I've also been dizzy, lightheaded, etc for the past year. The Cleveland Clinic keeps running test. They said I have Syncope but are trying to figure out whats causing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I'm kind of surprised, the last time the wind tried to break into my house, I put a few rounds into it and thought I killed it. Apparently the wind is still on the loose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Dude I wouldnt be bothered by that. You are speculating it was the wind. Better safe than a thread of how you were murdered in your sleep because you did not worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Had an instance just last week…Woke up out of a deep sleep by a loud crash/thud. Straight to my feet, start to clear the room… …Then realize both the Mrs. and the dog, who are lighter sleepers than I, are still sound asleep. Still, check out the rest of the house and all is well. Just a loud dream. Happens every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFM Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Pansy. ;)No offense of course. My daughter woke me and said we had an intruder downstairs. A 12 year old girl still wanted to have a looksie while I went downstairs, though I said to do nothing but stay with the phone upstairs. After looking around a bit, I noticed something moving in the partially opened closet. A raccoon had gotten in through the cat door.My friends on FB can see how we cornered it with a two handed broadsword, and how I carried it out after putting on leathers and racing gloves. And a Darth Vader helmet. Do it with style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thats really not so terrible especially in a college town, I know Kent and know some parts are not the best persayIronically I had a similar situation happen yesterday but no cops were called. I got home from work and was trying to move a queen boxspring upstairs by myself. well that was a fail and I had to jump down the stairs and over the bannister and bit it into the wall. My roommate wakes up out of a dead sleep not knowing I was home with his gun drawn. This is why I have an awesome roommate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 No reason to feel like an idiot. You did the right thing by calling the police. IT may have been the wind, he may not have been. Better safe than sorry, especially since we are talking about an entry point. Not like you called about a vase that fell off the table.

Carwhore Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 shoulda had a gun and just went out blazing! Then ask questions later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curby Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I couldn't bring myself to sell the only gun i had. I had 5'x10' white board leaning against a wall in our office. It decided to fall over and make a huge racket. I didn't hear my Rott bark so that eased me a bit, go down and he's standing in the office doorway checking it out before me. Good dog. Good thing he and the other dogs sleep in the daughters room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstrosity Posted April 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Some good laughs in here I'm regreting selling my only piece As soon as I get my own house I'm getting a dog. No more of this bullshit. I will add I had a bike stolen from here a few years ago and have been jumpy ever since. Its not a bad neighborhood. As a matter of fact its mostly older people and a few would say that my place is where the trouble is (used to be). Former friends would rip past the house at all hours of the day/night and do wheelies and act like complete assholes. Needless to say it was always my fault. I've lost most of the loosers that wouldnt respect my neighborhood and things have gotten better with the neighbors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Something similiar happened to me a few years about and I never really figured out what happened but I cleared every room in the house my handgun. Weird thing was my door was standing wide open but was also locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty1 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Dogs are ideal, they scare away most people, and alert you to their presence. On a side note I'm a contractor and replace a lot of storm doors from getting caught in the wind. If the door is not properly latched wind a lot of times grabs it and can yank the screws right out of the closer. Happens all the time.

Weird thing was my door was standing wide open but was also locked.That's really wierd. I woke up once at 3am for no reason, sat straight up in bed, staring at the window that faces towards my car, asked myself why am I awake, sat there for at least 30 seconds looking towards the window and then my car alarm goes off. freaky. Took the shotgun and went thru the house then out to the car and found nothing. still bugs me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I got a call the other night from my neighbor. He happened to be walking past a window and looked out to see two teenagers rummaging through the toolbox in my truck bed. By the time he got his shoes on they were out of sight so he got in his car and CHASED THEM DOWN. caught up with them a few blocks away, demanded they empty their pockets, saw they had taken nothing and told them to stay the Hell out of our neighborhood. Then he came back and called me to tell me what happened. My woman and I were right inside watching a movie and the dog was with us and never barked. It's good to have neighbors that look out for ya.

ReconRat Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I heard some one walk past in the grass one night, through the open bedroom window. (Yes, I'm a light sleeper sometimes. I don't think the ears ever shut down.) I went outside in camo and hoodie and stood like a shrub against the wall and waited. A kid walks back the other way about 15 minutes later. Only three feet from me and didn't see me. Left him go on his way. Figured he was out trying to see his girlfriend and was taking the path in the shadows under the trees. That's a judgment call, because smart little thieves like the dark also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
