What an awful night I had. And I can't sleep now because of it! And I live in a nice quiet neighbourhood.
It was about 1.15 am, me and OH were still awake and he was downstairs pottering about when suddenly there is RAPPING on the front door, I shouted down to OH 'don't answer it' out of instinct, I couldn't think of anyone I know that'd do that in the middle of the night. So OH crept upstairs and said whoever it was was peering in through the frosty glass at the top of the door and I was like WTF who the hell is it at this time?? We listened on the landing. I felt quite safe because you can't get round the back of our house because its a locked passage. Or so I thought... suddenly I heard a bang in the back garden, someone had jumped over the neighbours 5 ft wall and come crashing through their wooden gate into our garden! Then I heard more very loud bangs on our back door. Well I can tell you I was petrified, I thought they'd got in the house to get the computer or something so I just rang the police almost crying 'i think we're being broken into! i've got 2 children!'
Anyway they said they'd send someone round and me and OH waited, more banging and I was convinced someone would come up the stairs any minute, I had DD next to me in bed and I was literally frozen for what seemed like ages, I got OH to pick up an empty wine bottle and he stood poised at the top of the stairs lol until I heard a car pull up outside - police had arrived - and I could hear them asking someone Qs so I knew whoever it was had been caught - phew....
The police tapped on the door and it turned out to be our next door neighbour, he had no top on, was out of his head and locked out of the house, his gf still in town clubbing. I was so relieved I just stood on the stairs in OH's dressing gown lol Well the police left, we went to bed to calm down (I needed a brandy!) and the neighbour waited outside for his gf to come back, and I could hear him banging again in the street, he punched and kicked his own car window until it smashed
got his phone out and was screaming 'where the f*** are you' to his gf.
Anyway luckily it all died down after that, she came back home and i could hear crying and stuff - but I have never ever felt so petrified in my whole life. I literally thought I was going to die lol And I still don't know why he was trying to thump our doors in! They've been quite normal neighbours the past year!
Has anything like this happened to anyone else?
