Here's a sample from my NextDoor feed, just posted today.
Thanks for all the suggestions. This isn't the first time this has happened, but it does seem that people are getting bolder.
Last time someone knocked on my sliding door in my closed backyard (no gate so they had to jump a fence). I didn't notice it at first but my family did. They then started trying to break in (guessing they knock first and then assume no one's home if you don't answer it within 10 seconds).
When I opened the blinds and confronted them, they just froze and looked down to the floor (they had hoodie on tight, so I couldn't see their face when they looked down).
I called the cops that one time but they just told me to defend myself if it came down to it lol. Thankfully they left as soon as I backed away from the door.
Both times were pretty late at night. I don't understand how these people don't fear for their lives. Surely it's better to steal from Walmart or some big box store than it is to traumatize a family and risk way worse charges or potentially even death.
Emphasis mine. Do some of you get it, now?
When seconds count, sometimes the police aren't coming at all.
