We had a situation in our neighborhood last night. Our next door neighbor is a single mother with an 11 year old daughter. The mother was out at a meeting last evening; the daughter was home by herself. About 7:00, a man came to their door. The daughter opened the inner door (they have one of those heavy security screen doors). The man asked her if her parents were home. She said “no”. He then asked her to open the security door because he couldn’t see her very well. She told him “no”, and shut the door.

Shortly afterwards, the mother came home and saw a man standing in their front yard. As soon as he saw her, he took off running. A little later, she happened to look out a window that overlooked our driveway (which is between our house and hers) and saw someone standing there in the shadows.

She called the police and asked a friend to come over. The friend came to our house later to fill us in on what happened. We talked to some of the other neighbors to let them know to be on the look out.

Scary.
