Firstly, I sincerely apologize if this is in the wrong forum or anything along those lines. Secondly, I apologize for the length.That said... just kinda feeling the need to talk/vent tonight.
The back story here...
On June 24th I was in my front room on the laptop at 3:30am, porch light on bright as well as the front room being lit up. Heard something I thought might have been one of the cats, so I walked into my room to grab my flashlight to look behind the entertainment center. Heard something that just didn't feel right... but not an immediate "thats glass breaking" or any noise like that. Feeling paranoid I grab the HK from the bedside table and stick it in its holster. Quick look behind the tv and theres the other cat. I'm thinking thats odd... maybe its one of the stupid huge raccoons that plagues my yard, so I walk back to the kitchen window and look down into the yard... nothing.
I walk back towards the bedroom and pause for a second to listen, and then happen to look across the front room to the front porch just in time to see someone through the window in the door, walk straight across my porch and through my flowerbed. Call 911 and the whole nine yards... big surprise police don't get there in time to catch him. Had a friend come over the following night cause I was afraid they were going to come back, since the would be burglar showed no signs that he ever saw me.
Apparently he did come back that night. My friend saw someone walking down the road at 3:30, which isn't really strange here. There's a row of laurels along the road in front of my house with a little sidewalk from my house to the street, so friend decides to walk out to the road just to be seen. As soon as walker sees my friend he takes off running. Description matched who I saw the night before. Next day we put up 3 new motion sensor lights, new lock on the side door, all sorts of added security measures.
Now... 3 months later and for some reason this whole thing is REALLY bothering me now and I have no idea why. I haven't really been overly worried over these last couple months and now it hit me like a ton of bricks. Nothing has happened since June and all the sudden I can't get to sleep because I'm worried he's going to come back Part of what bothers me so much is the fact that even with the porch light and front room lit up he STILL tried getting in. I don't think he knew I was home.... but even that part worries me since I had 2 cars in the driveway at the time. Just lost and reaching for advice...
