We had an unexpected event at about 6:15 this morning. Someone jumped over the 7 ft fence from the alley into our backyard and was in my opinion trying to break into the house. There is about an inch of fresh snow on the ground and I can see that he checked the basement windows before making his way to the back door where he was knocking very lightly on the door.
Both my wife and I got up to see what was going on and found a 20ish year old male at the door. He continued knocking, louder and demanded that we let him in, claiming that he was cold. I called the police, and he continued to bang on the door. His story changed several times, including asking to use the phone to call the police. I told him that I had already called them, then he asked me how long before they would be there. I said 'I don’t know, I'm not a cop', and he walked away, but we could hear him 2 or 3 doors away doing the same thing.
Happy f'ing new year.
Still waiting for the police to come more than 1.5 hours later.
