That's what happened around 3:30am today. Someone was banging on the iron security door and ringing the doorbell. I jumped out of bed and went to the door to ask who it was and what they were doing. In a voice I could tell was fake and much too calm, trying to sound like a young woman or boy, the person said, "I need help, please open the door and let me in." "I need to know what the problem is." "Open the door and let me in." "Are you in danger?" "Please just open the door." During all this, they were still rattling the doorknob. "I was with a bad man. Just open the door now." So calm and fucking eerie. "I won't open the door. I can't help you. I'm calling the police and they can help when they get here. You should know that I'm armed, and if you are not in danger you can't come inside my house." "Let me in, please. Open the door." "Nope. You need to leave right now." That's the slightly condensed version, there was more about opening the door and another attempt at mentioning a bad man. But when I said they had to leave, they left. Called the cops and they came by pretty fast, they're just up the road. I didn't see anyone, and didn't have much to offer. But apparently they didn't try it on any other neighbor. And Wifespar noticed coming in just now that one of our light strings was unplugged. Not menacing at all, but curious. I believe we'd have been in big trouble if I'd opened the door. Kind of expect a rerun tonight.

Physically, yeah.
Mentally, it was the crux point of the day for both of us. I became more and more nervous about coming home, she worries that (in a, hopefully, theoretical) next time, that more people will show up. It had a goddamn serious The Purge vibe. There was no panic, no sense of urgency in the pleas. They just repeated the same few lines in various ways until they understood I wasn't opening the door and would shoot them if they tried something else.
'Open the door', and, 'let me in', were the mantras of their intentions, repeated in hopes of me just relenting to see what the hell was on the other side of my door.

I considered that, since permission was a big deal. Last week the same thing happened to a house around the corner, and a guy a few houses away had someone trying to get into his house late at night, testing doors. Not sure if it was the same night. I'm hoping that once the strike out at a house, they won't go back. I just hope they don't ever succeed.

Sounds to me like it's time to setup the bear traps.

That's fucking nightmare material man. My own slightly similar experience pales in comparison. Remember I posted about it here too? It was a woman asking to use my bathroom at 10 or 11 pm. I had just finished watching Last House On The Left, so I was even more paranoid.
Hope everything goes okay with you guys. Get yourself armed up even more. Fuck that shit. But I doubt they'll come back, too.
