Just saw a guy looking to house prowl.

**big A** · 12-19-2010, 09:17 PM

The main purpose of this thread is to remind everybody to lock their house when they go out especially during the holidays. If your not confident in your locking routine then double check before you drive away.

Now my story. My wife just came and told me she heard our storm door open and someone check the knob to see if it was locked. So like normal I ignored her because she is a little looney and always imagines this kinda stuff. A few minutes later she gives me an update and says she is watching out the window and can see that he is walking around and randomly going up and checking door knobs. I couldn't see him so I went for a walk. When I past the guy the first time that matched the description I discreetly watched him and he very obviously walked up and checked the door knob and walked away. I then phoned the non emergency police number and continued around the block. I gave the operator a description (she was great). I saw him again on the other side of the block and discreetly timed it so I could see him when he was at the front door and he clearly did it again.

Since this is beyond I apoligize for being a pathetic gay coward and not risking unknown consequences for the safety of my family. Please Post up how cool you would have looked when you would kick this guys ass.

Oh I would have looked so cool.

But seriously, good on you for going the route you did. Better to get police involved. It's a shame you couldn't have been around and had the cops catch him.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, hide yo husband cause they raping everybody.

But on the real, did they send any cops to respond?

I think I would have done the same thing - though 911 would probably have been my choice. It isn't so much that I'd feel I was "risking" having a chat with him, but the more likely scenario is if I were to confront him he'd bolt, and I would not bother to run after him. Hence, the cops are the better choice.

Oh buddy, I woulda been like "Come at me bro!"

All jokes aside good on you man. Pieces of shit like this guy deserve alot more than what he is probably going to get from our legal system. Any word if the police caught up with him?

The operator said something to the effect of "we will send somebody out". I told her my address and my wife stared out the window for the next two hours but didnt see anything.
I imagine things were higher priority. I was able to give a very detailed description, maybe it will help down the line.

what area?

**garnet** · 12-20-2010, 12:03 AM

i'd avoid confronting the guy too, you never know how nuts a guy might be, or pull a knife on you

i'd have called 911 and said, "he's breaking in the neighbors"...that'd get the cops there in a hurry!

Mckenzie Towne. The guy was about 25, Blonde hair down to his shoulders, big dark coat, slim to medium build.
After he checked our door he randomly checked about every three doors. He went around the block, crossed the street and came back on the other side. Now he was checking every door.
We live on an outside corner of a circle so my wife was able to observe him pretty good in two directions from the window.
I think I am regretting not calling 911 and getting in closer and tailing him till someone showed up, but the only way my wife let me out of the house was if I promised to be carefull.

What village...

Inverness, Elgin, New Brighton, etc?

Where is the fucker!

**garnet** · 12-20-2010, 12:23 AM

that's where having a set of "bright" motion sensor lights overhead of the back door is nice

daytime though, all houses are vulnerable, on last house we switched the back door to one with no glass in it, from one that was 50% glass-lite, added a dead-bolt (first door just had a locking songle door handle)

**bspot** · 12-20-2010, 12:26 AM

You're definitely good to call 911 for activity like that.

Word. I'm in the area and will be taking care of the gf's dog for the next few weeks so I'll be out in the cold taking the thing for a walk every night. I'll keep my eyes peeled for this MFKR. More specifics are needed.

**big A** · 12-20-2010, 07:46 PM

^^^^ New Brighton. Other than that I think thats all the info I know.
