Have you had someone come to your door unexpectedly, late at night?

My story is a bit different but i know exactly what you mean. I had stopped of at a friends house on a Friday night he had a late shift and wasnt due back until 2am. So i crashed at his house and waited for him to get back. On the net and watching movies. Around 10pm Knock at the door. Not my house so I left it. What happend next was a bit strange heard a lot of shouting looked out the kitchen window and a group of lads went passed. around 11pm another knock at the door a lot louder.. looked out the window the police had arrived. Someone had put a false call in for a Pizza delivery. Guy turned up I didnt answer the door because it wasnt my house, he got hit with a metal bar and robbed. Police searched the flat thinking i had commited the robbery then realised I wasnt even a close description of the robber(s). Enough of a bad day you would think? Nope.. lol 1am banging at the door again.. I ignore completely and lots of shouting outside.. 2am my friend gets back explain what happend. Have a coffee.. sit down to a movie.. bang bang.. Friend goes into a panic phones the police. As there is banging all over the house on the windows.. then a Dustbin gets thrown through the kitchen window. We go outside but everyones run away.. call the police. But too late.. Friend moved out following day. 2 weeks later a detective gets in touch regarding the robbery. first time was the robbery 2nd time was guys from the restaurant (asian) who thought we had attacked theyre friend in a racial attack. 3rd Guys back from the restaurant this time to try and beat us up. The detective explained to them that we had nothing to do with it I have an Filipina fiancee and my friend is Greek. I also managed to help with a police line up to identify one of the robbers. But yeah advise not answering the door unless your sure who it is. The guys who robbed the pizza guy also beat up a taxi driver after getting him to drive into the countryside.

I was having weird things late at night at the apartment I moved out of about a year ago. The first time it happened was in the middle of the night I was woken by a noise. It was dark, but I had the feeling someone was there. I got up searched the apartment and found no one. But in the bathroom (the ceiling had tiles you could move) the tile right over the toliet was pushed aside. Another night I had turned off the lights in the rest of the apartment and gone into my bedroom with my granddaughter. I was looking at my granddaughter (she was about 1 and a half at the time). She was facing the door that leads into the kitchen. She got this scared look on her face and said "who's that". By the time I got into the other rooms turning lights on as I went. In the bathroom the tile was moved again. We had a security door that came into the hallway leading to three apartment (one on each floor). Ours was the first floor aparment. There was a couple living on the second floor. The man was friends with the landlord. He was always helping him do work around the apartments. He also drank alot. And he was drinking buddies with the landlord. I started to leave the lights on in the apartment at night. And that seemed to solve the problem. It wasn't long after that we moved.

I have not had anyone knock on my door that late at night or at least not that I know of. I am usually sleep by that time and I do not hear a thing when I am sleeping well. If someone knocked on my door that late, I probably would not answer it or even look because I would feel suspicious. My neighbors know to call me if they need anything late at night because I am a hard sleeper and will not hear anything.

I fortunately have never had this happen. That would be very scary good thing you were careful. I know I wouldn't no havce opened the door either.

Since I live in a secure building nobody can knock on our doors but they can ring our bells. I live on the first floor and people who forget their key card are always ringing my bell to let them in. We also have intercoms to ask who it is and I always use that because I won't answer the door for just anyone. There are too many crazy people in this world and we have to be cautious.

Wow I am still scared after reading it.I am glad you are carefull, because how you said, you never know.Yeah something similar happen to me too, although it wasn't so late, it was only about 9 o'clock.But still me and my hubby was surpriced, becuase we are in new place and don't know anybody, so was wondering who can be knocking on the door.We look through the glass and it was our neighbor.So I open the door and he ask me, if we saw his girlfriend, since she wasn't home at the time, what was unusual for her.I saw her running aroung the house around the 6 , but it was 3 hours before and looks like it was too long.I tell him to go to the gym we have in our apartman complex.He come back after 10 minutes and she was still gone and he couldn't find her.Oh , I was so sory for the guy, he looked so worried about her.After hours she finally come home and I so them hughing and kissing each other in front of our flats.He was so happy to find her.After that he come to me and thank me for helping him seeking for her.I was glad nothing happe to her and he find her.I would be scared to live here when I would find out something happened to her.

Yes, a few times it was a family members that just needed some help, other times, it was people running from the cops, in the case of the cop runners, I just ended up calling the cops and tipping them off.

Just this past week I was at the computer one night and it was after 11pm. I jumped when I heard a knock at my door...It happened to be a man delivering a panzorrotti to the apatrtment out front and had come to the wrong door! I have no idea who would want a panzorotti at that hour but you certainly do have to be careful!! Another night this week I worked late and took a cab home. As we drove up to my building there was a man hanging out near by....Before I left the cab my driver said "Is that guy gone" as he did not look like a safe sort of person! I really don't live in the greatest area of town but we have been having difficulty finding a better place! :( I'm so glad you are safe and you didn't open your door! :) Take Care! ~Heavens~

I have several stories about late night visitors at my door. When we first moved into our house, we had the police show up and bang on our door at 1am to serve a warrant to someone who hadn't lived at our address in 4 years, as per my landlord. Then a few months later the police showed up again to serve a warrant on someone who had used our address just a few months earlier when they were arrested. Then earlier this year an old hispanic man showed up at our door around 230am and wanting to buy a soda and wanting to know when the bus came by. I gave him a can of dr pepper and told him that the bus didn't come until 5am. He wandered off. Just last week we had a black man show up around 1230am. He claimed that his mother had a heart attack and could my hubby give him a ride to the hospital as the he didn't have a car. My hubby told him to either take the bus or call a cab. The man said he didn't have any money but he would take the bus if he could. So we gave him the $2.50 for the bus pass and he went to wait on the last bus that passes our house at 1:45am. We get late nite knockers a lot around here. I think it is because we live so close to a bus stop and since our lights are always on late at night, people know that we are up (my hubby works nights from home). Also, I think everyone knows that we will help out if we can so people come to us.

The pizza man always does that even tho i dont order pizza alot of the time... and so do trick or treater even tho its not halloween!
