Alarming

K so last night in the middle of the night (12:04 AM to be exact) someone started pounding on the door. I wish I could explain how loud it was. Our doorbell would ring followed by pounding. Then pause pause. Doorbell again. More pounding. And then one more time.

Justin got up to see who it was and couldn't see through the peephole cause our porch light was burnt out. So he looked out Owen's window and saw a cop car.

I was scared to death and didn't want to leave our room w/Owen who had come in crying (Drew slept through it all). But Owen wanted to see what was going on so went out and this police woman proceeded to tell us that a pizza delivery boy had been mugged in our front yard!!!

Apparently this guy, we'll call him the bad guy, called and placed an order to be delivered to our address. He waited on our front porch for the delivery guy to come. When he got here the bad guy + 2 friends knocked him out and stole his wallet and cell phone. He woke up and went to our neighbors who called 9-1-1.

We totally slept through it all! But I can't even imagine some scary guy just sitting on our front porch waiting to rob someone. That is nuts! And disturbing that he got away.

This morning the pizza guy's car was still in front of our house, halfway blocking our driveway cause you could tell he wasn't planning on staying long. When we got back from church he was there with his mom picking it up. Justin talked to him and he said when he got to our house last night the bad guy asked him how much the pizza was. So he looked down to check and next thing he knew he was knocked out. He had to go to the hospital but was fine.

I've always felt so safe in our neighborhood until the last couple weeks! So sad :(

Oh My Goodness! Robby and I are just relaxing here and I read him that story and we are both freaked out! I'm SO glad the bad guy didn't try to come in your house. Luckly, Justin seems like a strong guy and could take care of buisiness in a situation like that.
