As I am sure you can figure out the guy on the porch was
a decoy - hoping they would come out to help so he could get in.



Terrie,

I never had a chance to talk to you on Saturday. The
police asked me to let everyone know what happened to us on Friday
night, so people can be prepared:

It was about 10:30pm on Friday night. I was reading in
bed and Chuck was getting ready to do the same when someone pounded on
our front door, rang the bell and ran away. Chuck went downstairs,
looked thru the sidelights and called out: 'You are not going to believe
this, Denise. There is a man tied up on our front steps!'

I told him not to open the door as I was going to call
911. As I did, I could see the man from upstairs. He was wearing black,
small shorts, nothing else. He had a white mask on so we could not see
his face, and his wrists were tied to his ankles with duct tape. He
started: 'Help, somebody help me' but we did nothing. The police was on
their way. As I was talking with the 911 dispatcher, I saw the man first
pull his right hand away from the duct tape, then his left hand, and
then he pulled the duct tape away from his ankles and ran away!

The police patrolled our neighborhood all night long,
but could not find anyone, or the mask and ring of duct tape. He told us
to tell everyone not to open the door, ever, even if someone is bleeding
at our door steps. Had we opened the door, other people may have gotten
inside our house, since it was obvious that someone other than the
masked man rang our bell and knocked on the door.

It was very difficult to fall asleep that night. We
need to be sure our doors are locked early in the evening, and not when
we are about to go to bed, and that our alarms are always turned on.

That's the story. Thanks for passing it on.

See ya,
