While I was in the next room, getting ready for bed. I heard the noise and thought its just my flatmate who got up to get something.. but then I heard that the door is open and I thought I check if she is alright. So when I open the door, I see that our front door is open and I hear somebody running away. I hear that somebody is running down the stairs (we live in the 3rd floor) and then I see him running out of the downstairs door and running away. Unfortunately I only saw the silhouette so I was not really helping the police at all that I called.

I was shaking afterwards and I only managed to sleep with some valerian drops and lots of effort to relax.

Of course now I start to think what could have happened which makes things a lot worse..

oh, and he managed to steal two empty handbags from my flatmate. One she had made herself and one she bought on a trip to London.. Hopefully they lie somewhere near the house in a bush..

buy a gun, don't buy bullets, practice holding the gun properly in the mirror, buy a sign that says you own a gun and aren't afraid to use it, put the sign on your front door, sleep soundly

they don't have guns anywhere else?

trindli on May 14 '08 at 7:55am
we have guns, but don't have signs saying that we have guns.. 'specially because almost every house with a guy in it has a gun (for the military)..

maybe i should put up this sign, I thought they were very funny when I was in the states..

edean on May 14 '08 at 7:55am
ok, instead of buying a gun, buy a water pistol that looks like a real gun (spray paint it if you need to make it look more realistic
edean
edean on May 14 '08 at 7:58am
oh so it's not the gun thing?

i'm not even sure if they make signs like the one i described, but if worse comes to worse, you could make a sign.

I have a lighter gun that looks pretty realistic - I once pointed it to a stranger and said I want his beer - he was... shocked but he gave me one.

That's terrible. It must have been a shock for you. At least you were not hurt. Try not to let it worry you too much. Just make sure you're home security is tightened up a little.

That sucks! I would be so scared. Good thing my dog would probably eat someone :).

Yesterday I had this customer come in for a new military retired ID card, and he told me that someone had like knocked him out and taken his wallet! That's messed up, the poor guy was like 83!

i wrote the property management to ask if they would replace the lock downstairs, because it does not properly close just by itself, you have to force it to close, but mostly the door just stays open.. The problem is it is a really old house and they will renovate it next year, so they said they will not make any investments when we moved in.. I hope a lock and new keys is not supposed to be a too big investment..

if they won't replace the lock, you should go and buy yourself a deadbolt and install it.

omg!! glad nothing terrible happened...man, you must have been pretty rattled. Like once, I came home, and there was a giant squirrel in my apartment eating my violets, and I was so startled that I screeched loud enough that the neighbors in the next building came to check on me. I can't imagine what I would have done if it had been a dude in my apartment eating my violets!
D :

thank goodness it was just a jerky thief.
