Help, Scared

Post by *Jessica* »

I'm home alone right now and 2 guys (looked about 21) just came to the door and asked me if the home owner is home, I dumbly told them no, he wasn't, then asked what time he would be and I told him 8:30.



I asked him what he wanted, but he turned away and said nothing and then left.



I live on the outskirts of a very, very small town, everyone knows everyone, I did not know these people.



For some reason I'm scared some thing dosen't seem right, should I be scared? :(

Lock your doors and windows, if you have an alarm system, turn it on, and make sure lights are on in the house all over so that it looks like the house is now occupied by more than 1 person.



If you're still paranoid, call a friend and explain the situation, and check back every 25-35 min with him/her. If he/she does not hear from you by the 35 min mark, have her call the house - if no one picks up, instruct her to call the police or what not.



I think you'll be fine with just the lights on and doors/windows locked

Lock the door, and make sure all the windows are locked and secure. If you have a cell phone, always carry it around you, in case of emergency.



Call your parents and inform them what happened. May be they can set one of your auntie or uncles to stay over with you until they get home.

We get people like that sometimes. Usually they are people trying to spread a new religion. They always scare me, lol. Chances are that it wasnt anything big. If you didnt know who they were, then they probably wouldnt have had a motive. Unless you have some really nice stuff they want to steal or something.



One time at like 1:00 when I was at home some gangster looking guy came up to the door and asked if somebody was home and he had a knife hanging on his pocket. He had the wrong house er something though. It scared the shizzles outta me though.
Blame it on the yellow bananas..they just sit there..all..yellow-like!!

That happens a lot here in Vegas. Lock your doors and windows and if you have an alarm system, turn it on. If you have a cell phone, carry it around with you. If you have a dog, bring him in. Turn on all the lights and yeah. :)
