He was a druggie who had escaped earlier that day and the police had been searching for him. There are only 3 houses on our road and it's quite rural...not the sort of place you would normally find people walking around. He is now back behind bars. Makes one wonder what could have happened if we'd opened the door.:blink:

I don't know...the police have been a little cagey about the whole thing.
Apart from nearly getting involved in cop shoot out about 9 yrs ago...it's the first time we've encountered anything like this. i'm just glad your OH was home and that you had the sense to call the cops! |

We live in a neighbourhood with lots of trees and large gardens, very quiet, very self contained. No reason to drive through it if you don't live on it. It seems very safe and no-one locks their doors (house or car). Sometimes I wonder if it has lulled us all into a false sense of security. |

Re: A knock at the door
How awful JG! I'm so sorry this happened. :( Good idea of your hubby's to call the fuzz, and so relieved they tracked down the chap quickly.

Re: A knock at the door
Glad you had the good sense to call the cops. We're staying with some "natives" for a few days and I know they never answer the door. If the Americans don't, then you can be sure I'll follow suit! :unsure:

much cheaper I never go to the door after dark, let alone open it without the item in the link above Ray will vouch for its suitability for the purpose. You can get a 33 round mag for it. If that can't save you then you probably deserve whats coming :rofl: |
