whew..so yea, this has been running through my head for the entire day, i couldn't even concentrate on my homework...k, so here's the story:
I didnt have school today, which is why I slept in, and which is why there's an "almost" in the title :roll:. This morning at like 9:30 or so (i live outside philly, so that's GMT -5 hours), i wake up to the sound of the door bell ringing, followed by some knocking. Being the only person in the house, I ignored it. More ringing and knocking followed, then some more. I was thinking to myself that it was probably FedEx or UPS or someone like that, so I decided to try to fall back asleep. Less than a minute after the ringing and knocking stopped, I hear a thump, which I ignored because I passed it off as the person's door closing. Then, something that shocked me so much I couldn't move. I heard thump, thump, crack, shatter.....shatter, thump..crack..etc etc. I bolted out of bed thinking "OMGWTFSHITEIPOHWEFHOIEGH(HGWEROUI" and I went over to my parent's bedroom where there's a terminal for our security system, and I hit # and * at the same time, activating panic (which sets off a LOUD alarm and calls the security dept and the police). Then I went over to my brother's room, which has a view of the driveway, so I could see who it was. This 6-foot + bulky black male was slowly walking over to his SUV (buick rendezvous...), unlocked it, got in and drove off. As he was walking to it, I ran to my room to get the digicam so I could take a pic of the plate, but he was gone before I could get it.
Turns out, all that happened was he broke two panes of glass, but didn't get into the house, so nothing was stolen. A lot could have been stolen tho, partially cause he was breaking into my living room where there's a sony flat-crt tv and a sound system, but also cause if I weren't here, it would have left the whole house to him. But nobody was hurt, and nothing was stolen. Still a scary situation though.
So the whole point of me posting this isn't just to be one post closer to being able to download vids (although it does do that :lol:), but rather to let people know that even in upper-middle and upper-class neighborhoods, shit like this can happen, and you gotta be ready for it. Im also telling it because I just want to tell my story, it makes me a little more relaxed when I know someone else knows when something like this happens.
Thanx for reading this far
Peace,
Brian
