Someone Threw a Brick in my Window
Literally. Someone thew a brick and a rock through the front window of my house. On Thursday at 6 something in the morning I heard a loud crash. At first I thought it was part of a dream but decided I would look around to be sure. I walked upstairs and everything was fine, I walked downstairs, opened the door to the bedroom and saw this:

I got my shoes and phone and called the police. There wasn’t anyone outside and no note. I called the non-emergancy line and the police wouldn’t come out because there wasn’t anything stolen. They instructed me to call back after 8 so I could make a report.

Thankfully a friend of mine intervened and got the police to actually come out and and take a look, although that didn’t happen until around 9. I made a homeowners insurance claim and contacted companies to get the window replaced. I even got plywood and boarded up the window myself. I still need to find a general contractor to fix the floor and drywall. Any ideas?

I’m happy no one was hurt and nothing was stolen, but this really freaked me out. I don’t really know if I was targeted or this was just a random act.
