I just love our little mail slot, one of the many things I enjoy about our home in PA. However, at 3 am waking up with someone reaching in the mail slot is not fun.Yes, we had a 3 am wake up call with the dog barking relentlessly and someone insisting they needed to be in our home.
Not.Fun.at.all.
After looking through the window at the top, Billy cracked open the door just a bit and asked the lady on our porch if he could help her. She was clearly out of it and wanted to come in to talk. That didn't happen so he quickly shut and locked the door as the disgruntled lady wandered up the sidewalk. The police were fast and furious as they were on the street in no time at all. Not sure the full scoop of why she was walking around the neighborhood accumulating mail from mail slots or why we ended up with a neighbor's mortgage payment in our door slot but it sure did make for an interesting night.
Not to mention, I had already been up with the dog (yes dog) that was sick. The house smelled nice and clean as I had just finished mopping the kitchen floor about 45 minutes before the officer stopped by to take the mail that was left behind. I'm sure he appreciated the lemony fresh scent during his visit with us.
As we make it through the day yawning and drinking coffee we just can't shake the giggles of all the excitement in the middle of the night. Luckily no one was hurt and it was a relatively minor incident. We have made some minor adjustments to our "Operation Intruder Prevention" plan.
You just never know what goes on in the middle of the night.
