Well, THAT was rather unsettling

<font color=navy>I was home alone tonight, and just about to pick up my kids from the church at 9pm tonight, when I heard our front gate shaking. I usually leave our front door ajar for the kitties to run in & out, & I was thinking what a racket they were making hitting the wrought iron gate (I have an enclosed porch). I went to the door and there was some guy, with a cut hand asking me to help him out, and motioning for me to open the gate. Scared the heck out of me. I kind of panicked, so I called 911. I couldn't see the guy at my gate anymore, but I was too spooked to drive my car out of the garage to get the kids.

The police got here about 10 minutes later, and when I went out front, they had the guys up against their car. He was still in my front yard, even though I couldn't see him :eek: The police said that they had been looking for him, and that he had been partying at the rugby game held at the Home Depot Center (located at the end of my neighborhood), and had had too much to drink.

Rather unsettling.
 
<font color=navy> I'm better now - the kids are home and the police took that guy away.

Thanks for asking.
 
I'm glad to hear it. :)
 

Wow, freaky! I'm glad it didn't turn out to be dangerous, but still, how scary!
 
Wow! That would have scared me, too. Glad you're OK...:grouphug:
 
That would have spooked me also - glad you are ok.
 
You were VERY smart......I might have opened the gate. :eek:
Sometimes I scare myself, do something stupid and don't realize it until later.

I'm really glad you're ok.
 
Sounds like you made the right decision! Good for you! Glad everything turned out OK!
 
You did the right thing by calling 911 and NOT going outside! I hope you've calmed down by now - that was a very scary situation!!
 
OMG!!!

You did the right thing calling 911! I'm glad everything's okay!
 
Oh my! I'm glad you're okay. I think I'd still be shaking a week later if that happened to me.

Did you tell your kids? How did you all sleep last night?
 
I am glad that you called 911 and that everything turned out OK. You just can't be too careful these days.
 
Yikes! :eek: To say that was unsettling is an understatement! Good for you for calling 911!
 
How scary! I'm glad you called 911 and that you are safe. :hug:
 
Thank goodness you called the police!

"unsettling" is an understatement!

I'm glad everything turned out all right.
