So Thursday night I got home from work between 9:15-9:30pm-ish. I live down a dead-end alley and it is dark. As I was getting out of my car I realized that a dark colored car had followed me down to the end of the alley and it had turned around and parked between my carport and the carport of the next apartment over. I saw a man in the passenger side and a woman driving.
As I was moving toward the walkway between the carports, he got out and started up behind me. I had instantly gotten a bad feeling as soon as I noticed the car and so at this point was kind of freaking out. As I was going around the side of my building I casually looked behind me and saw him still coming. I live in one of the two bottom apartments and as I was walking around the stairs I again looked back and saw him start down the walkway towards me (away from the other building) and at this point...I am losing it!
I was hidden from him by the stairs and I ran to my door and was franitcally trying to unlock my door and when I got it, I threw it open and then slammed it shut and locked it! My boyfriend was home cooking and he was weirded out about my behavior...so I told him about the guy. And then I chilled out abit and didn't think anything else about it. We turned up the tv (so we could hear it in the kitchen) and we went about cooking.
Then later that night (sometime between 2-4am) I was woken up by loud stomping around upstairs and doors opening and shutting. Didn't think anything about it; our neighbor works late shifts at Boeing and is always getting home after midnight).
The next afternoon I got a txt from my landlord telling me that the apartment above ours had had the door kicked in the night before and had we heard or seen anything!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
OMG! So I told her everything I could remember about the guy and she relayed it to our neighbor. I stayed at my parents place on Friday between jobs because I was scared to be home by myself. I had my boyfriend walk out and meet me when I got home that night too! I borrowed a baseball bat from my dad and it is laying next to the bed right now.
I am freaking out a bit that this guy may realize that I saw enough of him to ID him! Which I did tonight actually. We went upstairs and talked to our neighbor and he showed me a picture of his cousin...and it was the guy I saw! He had a feeling he knew who it was before that, but my ID of the guy made him even more sure. Scary!
So that was my scary excitement! His tv, xbox and games, and a few other things are missing! And I feel horrible because I had seen the guy that did it! But neither me nor my boyfriend remember hearing anything after I came inside and slammed the door shut! Our neighbor was cool about it though, he's not mad that we didn't hear anything but he did seem glad that I could ID the guy. We'll see if I have to talk to the cops or not.
Wish we could have met the guy on better terms though. He has lived there since almost last summer and because of our schedules, we have never really talked to him. Which I feel kind of bad about that too....lol! I am the kind of person that I like to know my neighbors. We may bbq this summer though! So that would be nice to get to hang out with him a bit.
