Someone knocking on my window?

Question

Ok, last might around 4:00 am someone came rusteling around in the grass & knocked 3 times on my grandma & grandpa's window. She came into my room & said Micaela someone just knocked on my window & it woke me up! I don't know for sure if she heard it because she's hard of hearing. So I called 911. They came out & looked around the whole neiborhood & said they would keep an eye out for us. I'm freaking out I need some answers!!!

I don't have a gun I just want to know if someone had this happen before & what they would do!

I heard someone in the bushes about 8:00 pm that night across the street.
We have a swat member next door hes less than 5 feet away from our house.

I saw a couple of teen next door that night>?

Answer 2

You did fine.
It is natural to feel alarmed at something like this, but it's over now.
If somebody was knocking on the window, probably he was at the wrong house. He was expecting an answer. Anyhow, he went away.
Unless you know somebody who might do this, I wouldn't worry about it.
If somebody was knocking at my window, I would probably say "Who's there?" That would probably be enough to scare him away, because either he will realize he's in the wrong place or, if he's a burglar, he'll know I'm awake. But I would be ready to call the police if I'm worried about it.
I might also call out the command: "Spike! Bruiser! Come over here!"

Answer 3

I am not sure i know what you need answers about. You did exactly what you should have done. Before you go to bed tonight make sure all windows and doors are secure. If you have a cordless phone or a cell phone maybe you should keep it near your bed so you can quickly call 911. You will be fine, try to remain as calm as you can (easy for me to say, I know).

Answer 4

If someone was causing trouble, they probably wouldn't knock on the window. My guess is it is a couple of 13 year old boys who snuck out of their house and someone dared the other one to go do it. A peeping tom wouldn't want to be seen or heard, and a burgler wouldn't knock on the window and then leave...they would smash the window and come inside. I would be scared about it too, but in all likelihood it probably isn't a problem.

Answer 5

It's good to know the police know about this. Don't be afraid to leave the lights on outside and make sure all your windows and doors a locked every night. As dumb as it sounds, people forget to lock their windows and doors. Make sure your neighbors know as well and ask them to keep an eye on your place as well. Just be aware, keep your head on a swivel and make sure people know what's going on.

Answer 6

well lock the windows. And if it happens again have the phone or cell phone with you and call 911. Lock everything in your house before you go to bed.

Answer 7

That's scary but you need to stay calm. Make sure you guys have a gun, seriously. It could just be some stupid kids, but you never know. If you are too scared then maybe stay somewhere else or stay with your grandparents. Stay safe.

Answer 8

Just make sure you keep your doors and windows closed. Also be aware of suspicious people around your neighborhood.

Answer 9

just calm down, it's probably not a huge problem. just remember to lock up your gates and close the curtins. the police will be on guard. invite some friends over or just hang out; that'll take your mind off things.

Answer 10

How do I answer that? Okay. So someone knocked on your window. Check all your locks, and don't sleep by the windows. It can't be that complicated.
