Someone tried to break into our house early this morning, around 4am.

He didn't get very far since we had both doors secured and (I can tell you from experience) it's pretty fucking hard to break into our house when the doors are locked. But he slid open the screen door and tried to open the sliding door in the back of the house.

LOCK YOUR DOORS, PEOPLE.

Glad they didn't make it and you are safe!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Me, too!

[curieuse.livejournal.com]

Ugh, how awful. I'm so sorry.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It certainly didn't help provide the rest I needed after performing out at KCRF yesterday.

[carmy-w.livejournal.com]

Wow-glad you are all okay! And I agree! Even living in Inman, where you could leave a $20 bill taped to the front door, we still lock up!

I'm pretty compulsive about double-checking doors when I go to bed at night, but now I'll be even more aware. Pretty creepy.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

Holy shit. Glad they didn't get far.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

ME, TOO.

0_0 Glad it all turned out ok!

[bluetourmaline.livejournal.com]

Oh geez, I would feel freaked out. Glad everything ended well. Is it possible to take fingerprints or something? Or because the burglary didn't happen, the police wouldn't care?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Seriously! I hope nobody else in the neighborhood had such a close encounter.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

We called the police and they came out. Not much point in taking prints on a well-used door, though.

Blergh.

Sounds like a pretty determined burglar. Ugh.
I'm so glad it all turned out okay, despite that horrid feeling of someone trying to come in.

I was so tired I was kind of numb about it. mckitterick, being a lighter sleeper and more wound up of a person to begin with, was pretty freaked out. Poor guy.

[labelleizzy.livejournal.com]

what kind of inept burglar tries to break into an OCCUPIED house?

damn. Glad y'all are safe.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

He did ring the doorbell several times, but who the fuck answers their door at 4am? Not this guy.

But anyway, smart criminals go into politics.

[nottygypsy.livejournal.com]

He RANG THE DOOR BELL? "Wake up, get your gun, call the police, I'm trying to get in." Just brilliant.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I think it was more a "check to see if anyone is home."

[grnvixen.livejournal.com]

It's the idiots out there like this that really scared me. Glad he didn't get any further and you guys are allright.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

At least he wasn't really committed to getting in the house.

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

very scary. very. I am glad you guys are okay, but that freaks me out. When are they going to catch these people?

[radiantmephit.livejournal.com]

Oh man! That is horrible! I am really sorry to hear it. Thanks for letting your blog audience know!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. Be careful!

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

They did pick up someone on a bicycle about a block away, some 10 minutes later, so it's possible they have the guy's info....

[mckitterick.livejournal.com]

"Wound-up"? Hey, now.

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

I'm glad the interloper failed to gain access.

Stay safe out there!
