Creepy

Something creepy happened this morning. I was sitting in the living room watching TV when I heard someone at our front door. They didn’t knock, I just heard them there. I heard tapping on the door like someone was messing with it.

By the time I got to the window and looked out the guy was back in the truck. He would have had to run to make it there that fast (he may have heard our TV and realized someone was home). There were two guys in the truck. They drove off and as they did so the passenger looked right at me through the window. I didn’t think a whole lot of it because the vehicle looked like a company vehicle. I didn’t think a whole lot of it, that was, until they turned their truck around and came back. When I heard them come back I looked out the window again, this time without moving the shade at all so they wouldn’t notice me. They pulled over in front of the house across the street and looked up at it for a few seconds. Then they drove off and stopped in front of the log cabin next door to us. They sat there longer than at the previous house. They eventually drove off. I went outside and checked our front door, y’know to see if they’d left an advertisement or something. There was nothing there, which means someone was messing with our door seemingly without a good reason.

It seems really suspicious. They may have been casing our neighborhood.

I called hubby at work and he had me right down all the details I could remember about what they did and the description of their truck. So if something does happen at least we have a description. We’re going to talk to the neighbors tonight and make sure no one had anyone coming out for whatever reason.

I searched the phone books and online for a company by the name of what I saw on the truck and turned up absolutely nothing.

If they were trying to break into our house they were going to try it through our front door, which is something I wouldn’t have expected because we’re REALLY close to the road. But then again most burglars do walk right in through the front door of the home. I can’t remember the percentage, but it’s high. If our door had been unlocked it would have been really easy to get from a truck and into our house without being spotted because like I said, we’re really close to the road.

It may have been nothing but it seemed weird. I hope me seeing them and them seeing me is enough to deter them from trying anything around here.

That seems very strange. If they were up to something, hopefully they’d be put off by being spotted.
