ONTD

i hate moving

I live in an extended family and someone tried to break into our house and my 80+ year old grandmother tried to chase them down the street.

My uncle was mortified, he was like 'what were you going to do if they attacked you?' They ran from her luckily. It was the travellers from down the road, they've stolen a lot of bikes and things from us and even my dad's caravan.

My roommate was telling me this story over the weekend about how her friend almost slept with him when she was in LA a few months ago and that apparently him and his wife have an open marriage?

Not that our house got broken into but.. a week ago, someone called the house saying my mom got into an emergency and needed to talk to someone. My aunt answered the phone and was screaming her head off, all panicky. I went down, checked what the fuss was about. She handed me the phone and told me of the situation. I got suspicious because my mom has been in a meeting since that morning. When I answered, the lady asked what my name was. I was like, huh. How could she not know if she's a "friend". I didn't, and prodded to ask her what seems to be the problem with my mom. Again, she asked for my name, and I still evaded and insisted she tell me what the emergency is about. She gave up and told me it's nothing. I told her if it's nothing, why'd you go off and tell my aunt it's an emergency. Totally fishy.

Called my mom right away just to ascertain that she's in her office for a meeting. And after three missed calls, she answered and told me she was on her way home, because she's attending a party that same night.

Stupid people. You need to know better who you're gonna mess with.

Some people just have nothing better to do. And that's really creepy! Too bad, we don't have money.

My old doctor, who at the time was in her late 50s, got home one day after work and found a burglar in her home. The guy stabbed her 3 times with a kitchen knife. This woman, AFTER being stabbed, grabbed this 20 pound statuette that sat in her living room and smashed the guy over the head with it, then called the cops and sat on the guy until the cops got there.

She had some internal damage from the stabbing but was home in just over a week and has recovered completely since then.

I made it a point to tell her how badass she was the next time I saw her, and she just laughed and said, "Oh it was no big deal. I felt like an action movie star though!"

im always afraid my upstairs neighbors are going to break in and either rob or try to harm me because a) theyre crazy and constantly high/drunk and have threatend us before and b) the house is SO OLD so our doors and windows could easily be broken into. i wish my landlord would give a shit and install new doors and locks that dont look like you could shove them open with one hand :/

No home invasions *knock on wood*, but my sister's car was broken into once.

She had come home for Christmas one year and like fucking idiots we loaded her gifts in the car the night before she was leaving, including a new computer. So yeah, her car was broken into. And the cop we called to report it, was a guy she went to high school with, funny enough. They never found her stuff though.

This kid from my grade was robbed and they tied him up and held machetes against his throat threatning him. He was tied up all night and his parents were downstairs..they had no clue. It happened to another family a few weeks later on the same block but they finally caught the guys. I live down the street so i was afraid for a bit lol

Not a home invasion but when my husband was in the military, we lived on post. He was out in the field so I was home alone for the week. One night, someone start pounding on our door and yelling. I called the MPs and when they came one of the screens in the window was bent in a weird way. They proceeded to tell me it was the wind, which was weird because there was no wind and I just saw that screen earlier that day. I had a bit of a breakdown after that.

A Home invasion is one of my worst nightmares.

The door is always locked when I'm home alone because I'm usually downstairs/playing music, my mom does the same. But she's been out of town and my dad has been leaving it unlocked when he leaves for work in the morning (around 7) and I don't go upstairs until around 930 and it freaks me out every time. IM SLEEPING. WHO KNOWS WHAT IS HAPPENING.

We had a peeping Tom when I was a baby. My mom took care of that quick, idr what she did but she scared him off. When I was a kid, I would find cigarettes and beer cans in the backyard, idk where they were form.

My parents, many years ago, before I was born, had a burglar actually get into their house somehow, come up the stairs and enter their bedroom. They don't know what the man wanted to do to them, but whatever it was he was unable to because their Standard Poodle, Shadow, came up behind him (he liked to sleep in their closet fsr, so the guy didn't see him) and attacked him so fiercely the guy bugged out and tried to climb under their bed to escape him. My dad after realizing what was happening, with only his boxers on, was able to pull him out by the legs and beat the man into submission and, along with Shadow, was able to get the him out of the room and downstairs, away from my mom and grandmother (who lived with them, a room over.) They got into another struggle and became nervous the guy was going to hurt Shadow (lol tbh) when he lunged for him and my mom had been screaming that my dad was going to get himself killed so he let him go after getting a good look at his face. The guy didn't manage to steal anything and never came back. I think they later caught him, but I'm not sure.

Then when I was a kid, one night in Manhattan was had NYPD almost knock our door down because they got a call there had been unknown trouble occurring in an apartment 2C, but in the melee either the dispatch or responding officers had gotten it mixed up and after the officers visually confirmed none of us were in distress on our landing (my family or the one across from us) either my parents or dispatch told them to go to 2B. We later found out our neighbors had been the victims of a home invasion, a mom and young girls had been tied up after a crew broke in their apartment somehow and held captive until the mom could free herself and reach a phone. I think the father was out of town so he wasn't there.

Our house in Baltimore got robbed in the middle of the day a couple months after we moved in. They cops came to make a report but they basically said it pretty much happens to everyone within a few months of moving in. They caught the guys robbing a house like a year later and when they asked them if they'd robbed other houses they mentioned ours, which I think freaked me out more!

Not an invasion, but my nieces left our back door open one night, and one of my sister's boyfriend things was drunk and walked on in. My friend and I were sitting in my room in the back (which used to be hers) and he was clawing at my door. We were freaking out, and when I opened the door he was just chilling on the wall drunk outta his mind. I was so scared.
