I appreciate the replies. I'll look into that camera. Can't wait to live in my house again. Apartment office was closed for MLK day yesterday, so going by to talk to them and give them the letter today.

That is an excellent idea. I didn't even think of that.

EDIT: Letter written. Will drop it off at the office after work.

I don't currently have one I could do that with. Planning to get a Ring doorbell or something similar on the house when we move back in. Should be in a few weeks. It looked like he just took off. I didn't hear any more banging, and you definitely hear it if it's anywhere in the same building.

Had a situation last night. Just want some input on whether I should have done anything differently.

At 2 am my wife woke me up saying she thought someone was knocking on our door. We're in an apartment while our house is being repaired because of the house fire we had. I woke up, and whoever it was started banging really hard on the door. Pants go on, gun goes on hip, go to the door. I try to look out the peephole and whoever it is is covering it. I said in a loud voice "I don't know you and there is nothing in here you want." The person immediately left quickly, but he kept his finger over the peephole as long as possible so I couldn't get a look at him. I stayed up for a bit because my adrenaline was up, and the rest of the night was uneventful.

If it weren't for him covering the peephole, I would assume it was just some drunk at the wrong apartment. As it was, the whole thing kinda creeped me out. I thought it was weird that he never said anything too. Thoughts? Constructive criticism?
