My door bell rang a few times at 2am. It may be the usual course in certain areas for the door bell to ring at this hour, but its never happened to me in all the time Ive lived in the area. Its a very quiet area and I dont know anyone who would just ring my bell at 2am.
I thought of the homeowners who Ive read about in the news who go to investigate it with their firearm only to encounter legal trouble later on or who dont investigate it at all only to have their door kicked in to confront the intruder. So, as silly as it sounds, I called the police because my doorbell rang. They sent one car down who ran up the street a few times with a flood light, flashed a light in my yard and comforted me saying it must be a short circuit in my bell. I was pretty confident it was no short circuit.
So the moral of the story is not to feel bashful especially when you are the one paying the property tax bill. Let the police investigate these unusual occurrences and bumps in the night. Dont go it alone with pistol in hand like John Wayne and get yourself in legal trouble making all us firearm owners look bad in the process.
Just thought I might share...have a great day.
