Moving quickly and quietly, she made her way from her bedroom to outside the apartment, where the cops were waiting for her.
She informed the police that the only other person supposed to be in her apartment was her roommate.
After searching the place and bringing her roommate out safely, the police officers asked, “So the two guys asleep on your couch shouldn’t be there?”
The police also noticed a large crack in the door frame from when the two men forced themselves in.
Once the officers escorted the men out of the apartment, the two roommates decided they wanted to press charges.
They emailed their landlord right after the incident so that they could fix the doorframe and were sent back an email that explained what had gone down that night.
As it turns out, the two men were friends of another tenant in the building. They had all gone out drinking and wanted to return to their hotel for the night.
When they couldn’t find a cab on the street, they decided to return to their “friend’s apartment,” but drunkenly broke into the wrong one.
A month later, the two roommates received handwritten apology letters from the men that were quite non-apologetic. Their story may sound silly to some, but that night traumatized this woman.
“I developed severe anxiety regarding having people break into my home that lasted a long time,” she explains.
Thankfully, she’s started to feel more secure in her home after adopting a large dog and taking anti-anxiety medication.
