Door hanging wide open.... everyone's asleep to find.....

I just got done responding to a discussion about neighborhood watch, and then this event in my life popped up that I would like to share with my fellow mylotters.. It was in the middle of summer, my son was about 5 or 6 months old.. I was having a hard time sleeping that night because I had a toothache that was keeping me awake.. It was about 5 in the morning maybe a little before or a little afterward.. it has been a couple years.. I got up because my son needed a bottle, normal I would get up and start some oatmeal for him, but for some reason I didn't.. I noticed the living room light was on.. I was living with my aunt.. I figured, no big deal she was probably up late working on the computer.. I laid back down for about ten minutes.. Then I decided to get back up to see if my aunt had any ideas how to get rid of this pain... When I walked into the living room..... The FRONT DOOR WAS HANGING WIDE OPEN!! I immediately looked outside... THERE WAS A MAN CARRYING A BLANKET WITH A BUNCH OF STUFF!! Insticts kicked in, I bolted from the door, and caught up to the man... I grabbed the blanket full of stuff from him... it was a tug of war... Then all of a sudden my adrineal subsided.. And I was thinking to myself, WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?!?!? I ran back into the house yelling and screaming for my aunt... Told her what had happened... She was shocked and ask me why I didnt get her first.. We observed the living room, that basterd got away with my aunties birthday present... PS2, may not seem like a whole lot but her birthday was about a week and a half before that.. Also all of my PS2 Games, about 40+... But my aunt told me that first of all that I was foolish to be doing anything like that... THE GUY COULD HAVE HAD A GUN! Honestly that did not hit me until that moment.. The other thing was I saved her laptop... It was siting on the coffee table, along with her digital camera... among a lot of other electric devices... Well I will not say the name of the police department due to the fact it would give my location... But we called the cops right way.. They came and inspected the missing items... Said that I MADE THE WHOLE THING UP.. Even through there were FINGER PRINTS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLACES OF THE THIEF.. Did they take them or get who ever to get them from the scene? HECK NO THAT'S TOO MUCH WORK!! The crime is still unsolved to this day... I did get a good look at the car, and the mans face.. Did an artist come to sketch a protriat? AGAIN WAY TOO MUCH WORK FOR POLICE!! Please do not get me wrong I have a great respect for most police officers.. But when they come to my house saying I am a lair, when there is physical evidence proofing my story... I do not respect that... I am just glad that man never came into my bedroom... Where my son was... Who knows what would have happened... And the one time I THANK GOD I WAS LAZY!! My son should have been at the kitchen table when all of this was going on... Now to all of my fellow mylotters.. If you woke up and your FRONT DOOR was HANGING WIDE OPEN what would you do?
