I don't know what to tell you... I would have done the same thing as you. When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.
Make you a strong pot of coffee (or tea if you prefer) cause I know you'll be up most of the night anyway.
What kind of dogs do you have? Will they let you know if someone is around your house?
Hugs to ya & good wishes too.

Reason I figure they were checking out the place in the daylight was the gate between the two houses. You can't see it in the dark. He already knew it was there.
Guess it pays off watching all those crime shows! I don't trust anyone. I do have a neighbor down the lane. But they wouldn't hear anything.
And I don't have anyone that come stay with me. So it's all up to me and my furballs.
The two state p officers that came. Told me to get my cat to attack them. giggle

Do you have a neighbor or friend that can come stay with you tonight?

True, it might not do much good if I'm standing there, gun in hand, and the hand is shaking so much that they know the chances of getting hit even if I DO pull the trigger are slim.. but my hands don't shake, call it artificial confidence, but I would not be afraid to use it, nor would I miss if I did....
It could be good to tell them you are packing. But could hurt you later. You honestly don't know what to do when the time comes.
But I am an avid hunter. I rarely miss. I also have my bow and arrow laying on the couch where I've been going out with it of the evenings. So guess I won't be doing that either unless I have a gun too! But it's illegal to carry a gun and a bow at the same time. I won't set foot in the woods without a handgun too! They will just have to put me in jail. I want to be safe while out and about by myself in the woods.

Poor thing... that is scary. They were probably trying to get you to open your door. I'd have all the lights and tvs on. I have a little weenie dog that barks like crazy anytime anyone knocks on the door or he hears someone outside. Keep safe, keep your phone close by.

I don't think you could have handled the situation any better. Way to go! I hope the police will make it a point to drive by your home this evening lots of times but I bet you're safe. That thug now knows that you are not an easy mark.

I am so thankful that you didn't open the door! I think you handled this perfectly. I saw earlier there were escaped convicts loose in Florida. Haven't caught another update on them, they may still be out there somewhere. So take extra caution, and will be praying for your safety!

I turned the tv off. So I could hear. And so the dogs could hear if anyone was trying to get in. But I do have several lights on. I'll leave them the rest of the night.
