I might have overreacted after the police invasion of the other day. Now, I've talked to the police and my neighbors and have a much fuller idea of what went on. Possibly even more disturbing than what I'd thought happened. I've also managed to get the recordings off the cheap security camera I happened to have running that evening, and was able to find some audio evidence.
The neighbor two apartments to the west said that someone was knocking on his window and when he looked out there was a naked guy. My neighbors reaction was to close his blinds and make sure his door was locked. Then my neighbor across the way came up the stairs on his way home and he sees the naked guy. When challenged, the naked guy enters my apartment. My neighbor returns home to grab his phone and calls 911. He says that if he hadn't thought I was out he would have followed the guy in. Meanwhile, I'm sound asleep through all of this, with a strange naked guy in my apartment.
Here's a time line of what I found on the security cam video. 2017-06-29 21:46:04 First latch click 2017-06-29 21:46:26 Second latch click 2017-06-29 22:01:34 Beginning of speech sounds 2017-06-29 22:01:50 End of speech sounds 2017-06-29 22:36:34 Police Arrive 2017-06-29 22:41:40 Police Gone
35 minutes from the speech sounds to when the cops got here, with 3 cars. Thankfully, it wasn't an emergency or anything.
I figure the first two clicky noises were someone checking the door to see if it was open.
So, it looks like there was a real happening, that did warrant some police response this time. The last time, still seems to be just a harassment with no discernible cause. Sadly, that time I didn't make a record.
