This happened to me when i was 5 or 6 i don’t exactly remember my age but i was still a child, I live in an outdoor apartment. (The apartments i live in are kinda hard to explain, so i will try my best to describe the details ) Now the apartments i live in are kinda small and when you go outside you can see everyone living in a tight area, so you can pretty much see all your neighbors when they go outside, we also have backyards but instead of it being in the back, it’s right next to our front door with a blue wooden fence. Now enough with me trying to describe the details of the apartments i live in.

It was a early morning and i had to go to school, but i was still sleeping i woke up to my mom’s phone ringing right next to me, my mom saw that my aunt was calling (my aunt lives in the same apartment) for some reason she didn’t really answer her phone if my aunt was calling (don’t know why) but this time she decided to, my mom picked up and i could hear my aunt in a very scared and panic voice and said “There’s a crazy man going around trying to open people’s doors” at first, my mom didn’t really believe her and i started to get a bit scared so my mom said to my aunt “oh ok, thanks for telling me” and hanged up. I told my mom that i was scared but she told me not worry about it, my mom decided to go outside the yard just to make sure, now my mom is very short so she had to stand on those mini stepper workout machine we had. I will forever remember this, when she was still looking outside, I saw her running inside the house in a panic mode, and locked the yard and went to lock the front door, when she had done that we could hear the person that was outside our door banging on the door very loud and strong i started to cry, he tried to open the door. i could just hear the door knob make noise as he was trying to get in. he ended up going to the next door neighbor, but they had their door locked as well.

One of our neighbors in the apartments ended up calling the police, the police came and arrested him, i want to go look at my back window and saw him with handcuffs siting down while the police were talking to him, they then put him the back sit and the police drove off, i saw him as they were driving off with his head down looking sad.

I sometimes always wonder, what would happen if my mom didn’t lock the door in time?

Edit: (i forgot to give a description on how he looked) He was a tall man and he kinda looked buff tbh, he was wearing shorts and had no shirt on and he was a bold man
