Luckily, no guns were involved, but we got a little spooked by a recent brush with creepiness. I thought I would relate it for your consideration.
So it's 11:30 pm the other night. I'm still up in my living room. I hear a voice outside on the sidewalk. Not too unusual. People sometimes walk around the neighborhood at night. Then I hear the clink of the gate latch on our walkway, followed by a knock on the door. I tiptoe to the door to look out the peep hole. I see I guy I don't know.
"Who's there?" I ask through the door.
"Greg," he says.
"I don't know Greg," I tell him. "You must have the wrong place."
"No sir," he says. "I'm doing the Lord's work." My creep alarm is beeping red.
"I don't wish to answer the door. Please go now," I respond.
"Ok. Have a good day," he says, and goes.
I think to myself, "Well, that was easy."
I watch the guy through a side window as he goes onto the neighbor's porch and tries them, but they have gone to bed and don't answer. He continues down the street. Because of the time, I decide I should call the cops and let them know about this guy. The dispatcher is very interested because other calls have come in about him. Cops cruise the neighborhood, but they didn't find him.
In the morning, we found that "Greg" had marked a black X on our screen door with a marker, as well as the neighbor's door, as well as a couple of our car windows. I called the police to add that to my report. An officer called me back and took the information. He told me a bunch of people had this happen, including an officer who lives in my neighborhood, who also got it on video. They want this guy.
Later, we read the news that "Greg" was found and arrested for malicious mischief. Yay! I was glad, because I almost didn't call the cops. Sometimes you just think, "What's the point? Nothing's going to happen." But I did, adding to the case against this weirdo. I'm also very proud of our responsive police dept., who got to work on it and took care of business, even though it was just one weird guy marking X's on people's doors. Justice!
