The most funniest story happened in our home when I thought someone tried to break in. About 2am, I heard this big smash. I instantly jumped and thought OMG someone's trying to break in. I went to my sister's room and I woke them up and told them to come inside my room. I locked the door and said, "Someone just broke a window downstairs, I believe its a burglar." They looked at me shocked, "What?"
I was like, "Seriously! Believe me! There's someone downstairs!" They asked me again, "How do you know?"
"I'm a light sleeper...someone broke a window I heard it believe me," I said.
So they panic, and I'm like "We all have to stay in this room together. Don't try to go downstairs."
We call the cops. When they finally came, they were outside. We were talking to them from the window and they asked us "Is anybody gonna come down to open the door?' I said, "Are you kidding? The burglar is downstairs!" There were like 6 cops down there.
One of them goes "If you don't mind us breaking your front door, we can come in." My sista got worried about my moms reaction when she returns from holiday. Kicking the door was out of question. The cops were like, "Then just come quickly down the stairs and open the door for us, if the burglar gets to u by then we will just get in by force."
We looked at each other...someone had to do the inevitable but we were all freaking out. Someone had to go. It was me. I was scared, but quickly went down the stairs and opened the door for the cops. They busted in, checked the backyard, and all the rooms downstairs. There was no sign of any window that was broken.
One of the cop asked me "Where were you when you heard the burglar and what exactly did you hear?" I explain the loud smash that sounded like glass breaking.
They ask us "Can we check upstairs?" They check every room, and then they find in the bathroom one of the lights exploded literally everywhere, pieces all over the floor. They call us to the bathroom and ask me "When did this happen?" All of a sudden it all made sense: the loud noise, the smash. It was the light that exploded lol.
I’m like, "Sorry!":embarrass. But the cops were so cool they were like '‘You should not say sorry, we applaud you for what you did tonight. Would there have been a real burglar here what you did gathering all the family into one room and making sure no one went downstairs is excellent. That’s what we would have advised. So well done for looking out for your family.
My family is still making fun of me for that day. lol
The cops were just trying to make you not feel stupid, by the way. Don't get all hyped up about it.
