Woke up at 5 to hear someone on landing outside bedroom, and bathroom light go on and off.
Told my wife "there's someone here" , went outside (naked) walked about the house saw nothing, but heard a dash.
Got back up stairs for my clothes, to go back downstairs to grab a didgeridoo for a weapon and found a 25-30 year old, well groomed, well spoken lad curled up in a ball behind my seat. (only way is essex looking)
I got into a position where I could easily kick him , stood over him and asked him (almost laughing for some reason) what he thought he was doing and how he got in. He texted on his iphone a bit!! then said "the upstairs girls bedroom". I don't have children, its my pets room - but I didn't like that.
I didnt believe he could get in that way, so I walked over to check if a window was broken and he just upped and left through the front door. We called the cops, who lifted him - then 3 came round to speak to us.
They reckon he was "just a drunk" who was seeing the daughter next door , and he was saying he got in the wrong house.
I had to ask the coppers to validate this by waking up the neighbours, and the lass there said she told him he wasn't welcome.
The cops reckon there's not a lot we can do, its a shift change and a new policewoman turns up a little later to take a statement.
She knew nothing of the incident before, but we gave a statement and she said she'd definately charge him (of course).
Then, 1 hour later - the station call my wife to say they've spoken to the guy in custody and told him that she didn't want him in her house and was out drinking with him last night (meaning my wife). Very wrong!! It's the neighbours daughter next door.
Don't they do any handover, on a shift change? Long story short, looks like they want to charge for trespass with sexual intent, rather than burglary - but I don't have any grounds for that... But that said , I hate the fact he's come in and worry about what he'd do if he didn't have me to face him (if my wife was alone, or it was a childs bedroom like he thought).
Still got into work tho! But buzzing on adrenelin after a crazy night. oh and the burglar definately saw me stark bollard naked.
