The same car has blocked my driveway two nights in a row. Today is garbage day, and the CD car was blocking the only spot where my bins can go on the kerb for pickup. We hemmed and hawed what to do, and finally decided to report it. Looked out an hour or so later (10 30 pm ish), CF car is gone. Good. DH put the bins out.
At 4:00 my Ring doorbell went off, then again. We jumped up in a panic, not quite sure what was happening, I instinctively ran to the hallway and put the light on. DH told me to come back in the bedroom, while he looked at the ring camera on his phone. A young man was standing there, alternately pounding on the glass and ringing the bell. The ringing continued, and loud banging on the glass panels in the door. I called the police emergency line, and they said they’d send someone. I was on that phone for 11 minutes – the longest 11 minutes in my life. The guy kept banging, louder and louder. Ringing and ringing. He was not going away. I can only assume his car was towed – but it was not in my house!
I swear, I thought my heart would leap out of my chest. I locked the bedroom door. Then went into the en suite and locked that door. All the while my DH was watching on the camera. The dispatcher at one point asked if I needed medical help (!) – no, just someone to come make this stop! She asked did we have any weapons in the house. For the first time in my life I wished the answer was yes. I thought this is how it would all end for us. So frightening.
The police arrived and it all went quiet. I reviewed the footage, and did not see the guy walk away, so assume he was arrested. Will follow up with the police department today. He knows where we live! He could come back. I swear I am ready to flee the country.
Just had to tell someone.
