Someone tried breaking in!

I’m home alone, and someone just tried breaking in! I don’t know what I should do. I don’t want to call the police because he didn’t actually break in. He just pounded on the door (by pounding, I mean pretty much trying to break the door down) and then he started rattling the door knob! I looked through the peep hole, but he was alredy turned away. What should I do?! I’m so freaked out right now!

Answer #1

yikes…my worst fear…hide!!! with the phone of course and call someone if you don’t wanna call the police so they can come over!!!

Answer #2

Call the cops! Maybe there has been a rash of break-ins in your area, and they need the report to guess where the guy will strike next and then they can catch him!

Answer #3

Hi Meqster,even if he/she didnt actually break in to your house it was an attempted break in and as such ,is an offence, it’s not too late to call the poliice, they will inspect your property and give advice on protection, and quite possibly take fingerprints if they are still there. If you’re worried about it happening again after securing all locks, think about investing in a panic alarm that will alert nearby police station/patrol car, or maybe a Doberman , anything with teeth that barks.

Answer #4

That’s happened to me before. Make sure everything is locked. All the doors and the windows any doors to your backyard whatever.

Dont make any noises and try to keep quiet.

Call some one you know and let them know of what happened and ask them if they can come over or drive by to make sure things look clear.

If they try and break in again I suggest you call the police immediately.
