As I peered out the window, I couldn't believe my eyes: my neighbor was sneaking into my yard with a shovel in hand. The nerve! My curiosity piqued as he began digging, clearly thinking I wasn’t home. What on earth could he be searching for? My heart pounded when I saw what he unearthed, and I immediately grabbed my phone to call the police.
I immediately dialed 911, explaining the strange situation to the dispatcher. I could barely hold my voice steady as I described my neighbor's actions. The dispatcher assured me they would send an officer right away. My eyes never left the window, and I silently prayed that help would arrive quickly. Moments felt like hours as I continued to watch my neighbor, wondering what he was up to and hoping he didn’t notice me.
