a knock on the door

[indigo_rose99]

Someone scary just knocked on my door. He said he is something like an appraiser and I'm working with your neighbors.

I said no thank you and started to walk away. I didn't open the door because T was on a conference call upstairs.

He said he is REQUIRED to evaluate the home. I said I don't let strangers in. He said he is certified by the FBI. I said I didn't believe him.

He said, "Then I'll just tell them to send the bill." I said I don't believe you.

And I went my city website. Nothing. Well, crap. He was really pushy. I'm calling 911. He can explain it to them.

Good for you. FBI? and the next claim was that you'll get a bill?! What did 911 say?

911 sent a patrol car. They asked if the officer could call me directly and seemed to thaw a bit when I said "yes." The officer called and asked logical questions as he was headed my way.

Out his office window and without any knowledge of the various interactions, T said he saw the guy walking the neighborhood. Then later saw the patrol car. He never saw if the officer caught up with the guy, which is a little disappointing for my sense of completion.
