my dog would probably do the same thing if she would only wake the :censored up. shes nasty when shes awake and someone is near the yard or house. gets very protective around my family, just a really heavy sleeper.
glad things turned out ok
Scary stuff when its that close to home. Can't tell you how many times I get up at night with my .40 in tow. I live on a dead end street, and most everyone is home and in by dark. Every noise I hear, I am up exploring it
I live in a ghetto azz apartment complex across the street from the Yuengling plant on 30th St in Tampa. Had a neighbor have her door kicked in around noon a few months ago. I can get to a weapon within 3 steps of 90% of my place, if one isn't on my hip. Looking forward to getting out of here in a couple months
I've also been "door checked" before. Sitting on my couch studying in silence and someone tries to gently open the door to see if it's locked. I think they heard me scramble for the shotgun cause I knocked a glass over...no one was at the door when I got there. Nor could I see anyone fleeing, but the buildings are close together and someone could be out of view in 5-7 running steps.
Also found a Kleenex in front of my door, and all of the exterior windows to my apartment, no other Kleenex's to be found, only laid in front of entrances to my place...maybe I was being paranoid about that one....but I am of the minority in this complex and I live with two women.
My dumbass upstairs neighbor is an 18 year old black kid with a 20 year old white girlfriend and baby....he seems to think it's ok to sit on the back patio (which is above mine) and smoke and drop the ashes and butts down onto our patio, among other items. When he drops something he wants back, he has ripped the screen door and unlocked it in order to get onto my porch, TWICE. He and I are fixing to have a little discussion to clarify a few things. I've been trying to avoid conflict to avoid drama, but enough is enough.
Anyways, the point of the above ramble is, I know how you feel....it sucks.
