Someone Tried To Break Into My Flat

[muttondressedaslamb]

So I'm wide awake and currently shaking.

 

Woke up about an hour ago with someone knocking on my windows. Trying to dismiss it I try and fall back asleep it keeps on happening only this time the knocks are louder so it's at the kitchen then my bedroom. Phone the police shitting myself who say they'll be round asap. I'm paralysed with fear then realise my bedroom door is ajar and I can see a man at my living room window, hands up at the window. So I phone the police again but hear him running round the corner of my flat as soon as I get off the phone.

 

Stupid me hadn't shut the blinds.

 

Police arrive, they catch a guy round the corner from my flat but because I can't give an accurate description they can't do anything! I said I think he had a light coloured top on which he did but I wasnt sure if it was a hoodie or not.

 

So anyway, that's me up for the night. Blinds are shut. Policeman said we'll stay in the area and to go back to sleep. If only it was that fucking easy!

 

By the way, this isn't a Millertime-esque thread. I'm just wide awake, a bit scared and passing time till it becomes light.

You in a dense residential area? Any reason they would single your house out? Or maybe just a chances checking every house. A horrible experience none the less and I hope you can rise above these sort of people. One of my neighbours broke into my car not long ago. Obviously I was raging but no good comes from violence, just have to be the bigger man and ignore him. Since you have disturbed him he will expect you to be extra vigilant now so likely will avoid your area

Not good MDAL. To make a light note of a serious situation it was probably Geoff Tipps.

You should of described him better to the police.

 

Male, light coloured top, 2 eyes, 1 nose, 2 eyebrows, yes officer that's the guy.

 

Hope you are ok, probably time to invest in a baseball bat.

my cosh of choice is a large maglight.

 

wouldnt like to be in your situation mdal. everyone thinks they can/would defend themselves in such instances but you never know what these folk are capable of doing.

if its any consolation im sure the mink will not be back.

[Dynamo]

If you put a light on I'd he'd have shat it and ran away.

 

Nae fine though.

[Robbie Winters]

Had this happen a couple of times as well - caught some young junkie scum / ned trying back door in broad daylight, needless to say I enjoyed evicting him quite forcefully out the end of my path. Unbeknown to me a neighbour who is a cop was watching and backed up my story to the cops who eventually showed up, so they are not all bad.

Anyway most are just chancers but leaving blinds / curtains open is nae a good idea. Just shout that you will set the Dobberman on them and they will soon take flight. If you not got an alarm get one as heaps of folk still do not and a theif is always going to go for a house without one

How do you know he was trying to break into your flat rather then just a peeping Tom?

 

He might have known it was a woman who stayed there and if he chapped loud enough you may have got up in a state of undress, giving him his cheap thrills through the open window. Did he have both of his hands visible to you?

You sound worryingly knowledgeable in the finer arts of the Peeping Tom

[tommo1903]

Golf clubs arent great for hitting people with, in comparison with other sports equipment.

 

My order would be:

 

1) Baseball Bat - rounded, can strike with anywhere on bat to same effect

2) Cricket Bat - makes a satisfying sound when getting cracked off someones knee

3) Hockey Stick - lighter, but can still rattle someone right off the napper and do considerable damage

4) Golf Club - effective, and does the job, but more used as a secondary weapon IMO

5) Tennis Racket - not great, but if you catch them with the frame it could hurt

6) Table Tennis Bat - Used by Boofon and Tup in their spanking sessions with each other.

[Moza]

Had this happen before in a flat I used to stay in a few years ago, it is a bit unnerving. Was one of the (many) reasons I decided not to stay in a ground floor flat again.

[tommo1903]

Only poofs and women are feart of other people.

Have you settled down yet mdal? Sounds like it got you a bit wound up!

i'm glad you're okay MDAL and hope you're feeling better today?

 

like others have said, i'd suggest getting an alarm if you don't already have one. and if you're so inclined, maybe think about getting a nice big friendly dog? even when they're friendly, a large-ish dog seems to scare away most, and will more than likely be protective of its owner under those circumstances.

 

it's only happened to me once a number of years ago. during the daytime. stood up from the sofa and there was this man. at my patio door. trying to open it. we were both somewhat surprised to see the other, and he took off. it's very unsettling. baseball bats are only helpful if you think to move quickly enough to get it.

Sad fact is if you were to take on an intruder with any kind of weapon, it would be you that ends up in court, 'reasonable force' or not.

Not true.

 

And even if it were, it doesn't guarantee you'd be convicted of anything.

 

The courts generally don't like to see people killing each other though - if you kill someone, you'll have to justify it.

[tup]

It is true, I should ken, but yes there's a fair chance you won't be convicted.

In the right hands, that is a lethal weapon.

Not quite, although it was tempting.
