My mom just got off the phone with my grandmother. She had an interesting story to tell. Long story ahead, but very interesting. Makes you re-evaluate your home security strategy. Leaving your doors unlocked for a few minutes when you go outside could let an assailant in who will hide and attack you later.
My aunt was working on a vacuum cleaner, putting it together. SHe went to fill it with water and came back and found that the wheels were missing. They were in the middle of the hall a second before. SHe thought nothing of it. A few days later, while working in the yard, her neighbor told her(whom she never talks to) that she had a peeping tom. He said that he heard the tom at night, he sits at the end of her pool and watches her. Nobody saw him, but everyone heard. She went to the place where the neighbor heard the tom and sure enough the grass was all pushed down and there was some empty beer cans there. She had found beer cans there before but thought nothing of it. She called her daughter and told her. Her daughter(nicole) asked about calling the police, but my aunt didn't. Nicole had to call the cops. They recognized the threat and told her that if she called, units would respond immediately.
Stick with me, my story gets better.
Her son in law Aaron came over to her house, heard her story, and figured out that he had gotten in the house. The tom has been sneaking in a garage window(doesn't lock), through the door between house and garage(doesn't lock) and into her house. The verdict was that he was sleeping in her son's room at night(empty room, son moved out), and waking up/leaving before she got up.
He memorized her schedule and knew that she went to church on sundays. When she had the vacuum cleaner incident, she didn't go to church and must have suprised him, he probably slept late. Didn't call the police then.
Stick with me, my story gets even better.
Aaron came over again and nailed the garage window shut. He put sticks in some other windows to lock them. He did an all around home security check. The next night, she heard a thump thumping on the window downstairs. Instead of calling the cops, she just layed there hoping it would go away. The next morning, she found that the tom had pried the window open about an inch, nails and all. He was pounding on it for at least 3-5 minutes, noisily too. The next night, her son in law and son waited in the garage, but the tom didn't come. He must have seen their cars in the driveway.
I am just dreading the news, waiting for her to turn up dead. My mom figures its only a matter of time.
I taught her how to shoot my family's Ruger P94 9mm and my Taurus 357. I have suggested to her to buy a firearm many times. I don't know what to do.
She has no common sense. She told my grandma(who is an absolute wreck by the way) that she really wants to sneak down sometime and shine a flashlight in the toms face, to see who it is.
