Last night (Oct 3rd) at about 11pm I'm laying in bed listening to Nick snore wishing I could go to sleep as fast as he does when I hear loud rapid knocking on my front door. I quickly get out of bed, put a rob on and go down stairs fully expecting to have no one at the door.
We get a lot of door bell ditching here.
I turn the porch light on, unlock the deadbolt and open the door. Just as I'd expected, no one's there. I do see two people out in the street, about 60 feet away, wearing all black walking away from my house.
I shut the door, lock it, turn the light off and start up the stairs when a very bright light shines in my front window. I figure that this is some of the neighbor boys and now that they know I'm up their going to mess with me and come back and knock on the door again.
I stand next to the door and wait for them to knock then I fling open the door and yell "HAY".
This is the part where I feel stupid.
Standing on my porch is a police officer. I apologize to him and explain that we often get door bell ditched and that I thought that that's what he was doing.
The officer tells me that my neighbor had been door bell ditched and then they went out to check they had heard voices coming from my backyard and that there has been a lot of home burglary's in my neighborhood and my garage door is open.
So this very nice and concerned police officer had knocked on my door to let me know that my garage was open and help me so that out house doesn't scream "come steal everything from this house" and I fling the door open and yell at him. Ugh so very embarrassed.
So very sorry Layton City Police Officer who came to my house and thank you for helping us and keeping us safe.
Still don't know how the garage door got open. I've been parking in the driveway because Nick is replacing the engine in the car of one of his coworkers. So there is no reason for the garage door to be opened.
