Someone was trying to open the door

Probably trying to break in, thinking you were out.


Upgrade ALL your security.

Does anyone have this experience, one lady was trying to open my door then i went to open the door, she said 'really sorry i' am embarrassed i thought this is my friend's house'. I let her off, did i have to ask her id or called the police to enquire more.

what would you do if you were me.

Do you live in a flat/tenement block? I only ask as I actually done something similar not too long ago, I was out with a friend and ended up going back to theirs without them early so took their keys. Only when I arrived did I suddenly realsie I had no idea if they lived on the 2nd or 3rd floor, having only been there a couple of times, no names on the doors either so I just had to give the one on the 2nd floor a go, quickly realsied i was wrong though before anyone came to ask questions.

Many years ago I was woken at about 3am by knocking at the front door ( not just mild knocking but taking the door off the hinges sort of thing) I went down with my old rounders bat ( we don't live in the best area and I am a wee frail as people keep point out to me) to find the old householder peed as a newt trying to come in and go to bed.... He forgot he moved.

I had to prop him up in the hallway whilst I waited for a taxi to come and collect him.

Is what the woman was doing actually illegal though?

I personally would have put a call into the local police station just advising them of the woman and what occurred. You never know if the police have some knowledge of potential burglars using that tactic and have had other reports.

i think it would help if the op pointed out if they are living in a flat or house, just from my experiences of living in a tenement things like this were quite common, compared to living in houses where this hasnt happened

i think you should have asked her a bit more info like who is the friend, and where do they live because there is a high chance that she wasnt just a forgetful old biddy

truthman007, I'd focus on improving the security of your home. Thieves are opportunists and will pick easy, profitable targets. It costs them nothing to knock on the door to see if anyone is in.

Has anyone looked at truthy's previous threads?
