I was coming home from work tonight and turned down our road. I saw a late model chevy blazer 02-03 model turn out of the neighbors drive and into mine. I drove into our driveway and seen two girls 18-19 knocking on the backdoor? There was a guy in the drivers seat of the blazer that waved. I pulled in and was approached by the ladies. One was carring two cans of lysol type product. The asked if I owned the home blah blah. I told them yes they explained that they represented the Kirby co. Sounded rehearsed and they asked if they could do some minor house cleaning. I told them no thanks. The girls told me that it was free of charge as a promotion for their comapny. Then they went on to say how there boss would pay them $25.00 for each house they cleaned and we would get to keep the cleaning products. I again declined and they drove away. While I was talking to them I made a scene of locking my truck and my tool box. I went inside and put a few things away and went to take a shower. My wife was to be home shortly so I left the front door unlocked. I heard the door shut while in the shower but a little to soon for my wife.
I jumped out of the shower and threw a towel on and grabbed a hunting knife laying on my dresser. I called my wifes name and noticed the door to my daughters room had been shut. Went back to my room and grabbed a sidearm and my cell phone. Dialed 911 but did not hit send. I cleared the house with the gun in hand. No one to be found; I looked out and saw that my wife was indeed home and had walked to the neighbors to pick up the kids.
So I got dressed and walked to the neighbors house asking my wife if she did come inside and close that door. She said yes why their room is a mess and we had company coming over. So I told her the story about the girls and how she freaked me out. The neighbor had a puzzled look on her face and said that the same to girls were at their house but were trying to sell books. So we came home and I called the sheriffs office and told them what happened. I was told a officer would be down to take a statement but that was almost three hours ago. We sat the kids down and talked about opening the door to strangers and what could happen. So far nothing but will double check the locks and windows before we leave for work tommorrow.
