  Speaker 1: When quarantine started, I was actually pretty okay with it.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I worked from home one of the largest cybersecurity companies
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: in the country, so there wasn't any lost my pay,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and the only thing that sucked was that I couldn't
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: go to the gym. Luckily, I had a few dumbbells
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: at home and I may do with what I have
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: MO also a female at twenty eight years old, everything
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: seemed pretty okay. Actually, I don't have any family that
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: lives go spy and would go to my friend's place
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: every now and then. I tricked myself socially distanced. But
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: things quickly changed when one night I was in my
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: living room watching some late night TV on Netflix. At first,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it sounded like something was being moved around or scooted upstairs,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: but it was faint and I had to turn the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: volume down by this point on the TV to get
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a better listen, but it had stopped. I talked it
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: up to my imagination playing tricks on me and turned
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: back on the TV. But almost as soon as I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: continued watching, the sound started again, but this time a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: little louder. That's when I decided to check my security
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: camera on my phone. I went room by room, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I still didn't see anything. Now, these are not the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: best cameras in the world by any means, and they
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: do have night vision built in and motion detection. They
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: even record for a short while when they noticed movement,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: So after that I decided was probably something outside and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: went to bed. Shortly after after I woke up, I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: forgot all about the last night and continued my day
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: as usual, and I went online for a few hours
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to do my work, had some coffee, and did my
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: little at home workout, and lately, around two pm, I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: will go for a run for about an hour to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: get out of the house and stretch my legs. After
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: my run, I give back home and decided to take
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a shower. That's when I noticed the floor of my
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: bath I was wet and I hadn't taken a shower
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the night before, but everything else in the bathroom looked normal.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: None of my towels had been touched from what I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: could sell. I looked around my house again and everything
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: seemed normal. As I went back to take a shower
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and get the water started, my phone security alert went off.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I was already half naked at this point, and when
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I opened the app, my jaw was hit the floor.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: From when I.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Could see, it looked like maybe a man in his
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: late forties in my guest bedroom coming out of the closet,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and for your mind's eye, my house has two bathrooms,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: went upstairs and went downstairs. The guest room was down
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the hall from the bathroom I was in, and then
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: my way downstairs was to go past that room. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: didn't know what to do and just continued to stare
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: at my screen. The man was now holding something in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: his right hand and went back into the closet. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: watched on for about three minutes, and I couldn't see
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: any movement. By then, I had already put on my
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: shorts again on top, and as quietly and quickly as
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I could, I went down the hall to the Now,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: my house is the newest houses, so the stairs have
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: spots that are really squeaky when you go down or
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: up them. I already knew the spots that made the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: most noise, so I avoided them as best as I could.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: After getting down the stairs, I ran outside into my car,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: where I called the police. They came really fast, actually,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and checked out the house. Must have been around ten
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: minutes of waiting by the officer outside while the others
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: went inside. They finally came out with a man in handcuffs.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It turns out he was homeless and had been staying
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in my attic for the past three weeks. After some questioning,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: they found out he had lived at the same house
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: years before, and he knew the layout of it, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: he knew about the attic that had an access point
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in the bedroom's closet. How he got past my cameras
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: for so long I will never know. I was having
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: some issues with the app and it didn't always work
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with most detection. Now he never actually did anything to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: me and didn't try to hurt me or anything from
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: what I could tell. Still just scares me as to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: what could have happened and how much more where are
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: my surroundings I need to have. I just hate that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I need to feel like that in my own home.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I've been sitting here at my computer for about thirty minutes.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Now try and figure out what to say or how
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to put this into words. I'll work at a local
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: CrossFit gym in San Diego, California. Now, since quarantine started,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the rules and regulations have gotten pretty strict. We do
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the best we can to keep everything clean and everyone
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: at least six feet apart, but they still shut us down.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So it's just been me by myself with the gym
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a few hours a day to do maintenance in the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: building and equipment. Things have been fairly quiet around here
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: since then, besides a few phone calls a day and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: asking if we're open. Now things started to get a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: little more interesting, if that's how I could put it,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: When I would come into the open gym and do
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this little thing's moved around. At first, it was just
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: some towels that I had folded and put away. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: chalked it up to me not paying attention and perhaps
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the other manager who worked there, but he only came
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in very little because most of his work was done
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: from home. Then a few days later I noticed that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: weights were moved around too. Now this building is more
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of a warehouse setting, and it's not super fancy.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: We don't have many.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Cameras or alarms in the building, just a set of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: keys that works for the front and back of the gym.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I called up the other manager after seeing this to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: ask him if he knew of anything about the weights
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: being moved. I wasn't sure if he was letting it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: some friends at night to use the gym or what
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: was going on. Of course, he said no and knew
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: nothing about it, and that he has been to the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: local gym in weeks. And that's about the time I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: noticed the car passed by the front of the store. Now,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: if you're to drive by the location we're at, you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: wouldn't see anyone out there. All the other businesses that
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: were next door have closed up and no one's working
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: at them. So to see a car drive by, well,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it's extremely strange. I looked out the window and the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: car again drive by to the back of the gym.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Now I ride a bike to work because it's better
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: on the environment and because I'm a cheap scipe. So
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: nobody would tell that anyone's at the store unless you
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: called or went right to the front door and looked
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: inside the windows. I had read to the back of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the chairman looked at the door where I noticed it
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: started to unlock, and a man walk right inside. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: just stood there, like what the hell. We made eye
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: contact and he said hello there in a really deep voice.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure what to say or who he was.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I just replied, hello there, Sara can I help you?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: He said something along the lines of no, but thank you,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and turned around and went back off the door, where
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I kind of followed along and just watched him get
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: back in his car and drive away. Now, after turning
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: back to the door, I noticed your things. One the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: lock to the door looked extremely scratched indented like someone
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: had broke it. And two there was a note the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: door that said today stayed in time. I'm not really
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: sure what to make of all this, but I've called
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the police already and I'm waiting for them to show up.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: It's not even a bad area I work at, but
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: since quarantine started, people have been acting really dumb lately,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so I wouldn't put it past some beef heads turn
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: to break into the gym and get a pump. Anyways,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that's my story. I hope that you guys, if anything
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: changes or more happens. This story takes place a few
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: months ago. When quarantine started. I was living with my
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: boyfriend and his friend at the time in a not
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: so nice apartment. Now we're all young adults, me and
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: my boyfriend both twenty and his friend a little older
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: at twenty four. For Animinity's sake, I will call my
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: boyfriend Jake and his friend Stephen. Now me and jacubbin
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: dating for about three years now and got together in
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: high school. Stephen was more of a new friend that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: we both met at a local comic book store. A
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: few months back, we all decided to get an apartment together
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: so we could all move out of our parents' places.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: It was really great at first. There was no drama,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: bills were being paid on time, and things seemed pretty
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: nice despite the recent COVID events. But one day, when
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Jake was at the apartment by himself, he hears a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: loud banging on the door. When he went to check
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: out who it was, there was nobody there. Jake said
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that it honestly sounded like someone was trying to break
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: down the door from how hard they were knocking. Now,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: he kind of dismissed this and went back to watching TV.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: A few nights later, I was at the apartment by
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: myself when I too heard a loud banging at the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: door and the sounds of a man's voice outside saying
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: something I couldn't hear too well. I texted Jake, telling
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: him about this and what was happening, and that's when
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: he told me about the same situation that happened to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: him a few days prior. I was honestly pretty scared
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: because of the apartments we live in, a lot of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: people who are here are either drug addicts or dealers.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Now we don't party or do anything like that, but
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: we also don't make the most money, so this is
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: what we could afford together. I don't think it was
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: necessary to call the police at this point, because I
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: don't really like dealing with them in the first place.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm an African American female and live in a more
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: racist part of Colorado, by the way. I waited for
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a bit longer, all the while texts my boyfriend. Then
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the banging stopped. I went to the door to look
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: into the peep hole, and nobody was there. I didn't
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: actually feel like looking outside because if someone was still there,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to know their intentions. After a few
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: more hours, Stephen comes home after work and tells me
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that he too had heard loud banging noises while he
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: was in a shower the other day when he was
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: home alone. We don't always get days off together because
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: our work schedules are not set schedules. Now I'm pretty
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: scared now, and I'm on high alert. I don't go
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: anywhere because of the lockdown besides work right now. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: this next part kind of sealed the deal with calling
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the police. Me and Jake were laying down at night.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Stephen was still at work, and we're watching my Herock
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and Dami on Hulu. All of a sudden, the knocking
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: starts again. But it stops almost as soon as it started.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Me and Jake just looked at each other and went
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to the window by the door to peek out and see.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: What we saw was four guys standing outside of the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: apartment door. Now, two of them had hoodies on, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the other two we couldn't get a good look at.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I decided to take a picture with my phone just
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in case I needed to report them to the apartment's
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: office or the police. Now this next part was kind
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of my fuck up. But as I took the picture,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the flash went off. Now when I tell you my
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: stomach at the floor, I literally mean it. I jumped
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: down to the ground and clenched my teeth together while
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Jake looked at me with wide eyes. The guys outside
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: had to have seen the flash because it was practically
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: point blank in their faces. The knocks in the door
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: became kicks now, and the guys were outside were yelling
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: at us open the door or else. I feel like
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: a big baby, but I was just screaming for them
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to stop. Jake, on the other hand, ran to the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: bedroom where he grabbed his pistol that his dad had
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: gave him. Without warning, Jake had ran to the front
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: door and unloaded the clip into the door. After this,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: they ran away pretty fast, and when Stephen got home,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: he said that there was a lot of blood outside
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the door and called the police when he saw it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It turns out that the men were caught later that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: night because they didn't went to the hospital close by,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and when he gets shot and go to the yard,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the police are notified. We still don't know who they are,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: what they wanted. Only three of them were arrested and
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the other has yet to be found. I'm not really
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: sure what they do at this point, but I feel
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like just running this down has helped a lot.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Last year, I was temporarily a host at a restaurant
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: which was not very popular, so we were not often busy.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: One midday shift, I hadn't seen a customer in a while.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: When this old short, stocky man came in and asked
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: for a table near a window. I sat him in
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: the section of my friend Mariah. Each waitress had their
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: own three to four table section of the restaurant to
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: keep the number of customers being seated fair. Mariah was
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: college age and this man was easily around sixty five
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: or older. My Hostan was close enough to their table
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: to hear the conversation that got weirder by the minute.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: He kept mentioning that he worked for a towing service,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: he looked far past retirement age, and kept complimenting her.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: It was seemingly innocent, things like.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: You have a pretty smile, or you're a great waitress,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: to which.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: He kind of nervously laughed about and said something to
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: the effective ah, thank you, thinking he was just a
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: lonely old man trying to be nice, But then his
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: compliments just got downright strange.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: With a body like that, you must have a boyfriend,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: or I wish my ex wife looked like you when
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: we met.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: At one point, she felt him try to grab her
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: ass as she was walking away from him. She got
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: so uncomfortable that she ended up having our male friend
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Chad finished waiting on the man, giving the excuse that
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: her shift was over, when really she went in the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: kitchen and literally hid from him until he left. When
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Chad came to be his waiter, the guy lost any
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: cheerfulness in his face and looked genuinely angry, and I
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: was actually afraid at this point, thinking that he might
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: try to pray on me next. I was around the
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: same age as Mariah and the only one in the
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: same area of the restaurant as this guy, But he didn't.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: He just quickly finished eating while hardly speaking or looking
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: at Chad, and left without saying a word. The guy
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: left a tip of five dollars in ones and wrote
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Mariah on each one front and back and pen I assumed,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: trying to make sure Chad didn't think it was for him.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Our manager gave Mariah permission to avoid this guy any
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: time he came in because of how he behaved. A
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: few days later, he came in and asked for Mariah.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Her shift didn't start for over an hour, so I
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: told him that I would have to sit him with
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: someone else, and he refused. He insisted on waiting at
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: a table that was meant to be in her section,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: and literally sat down prepared to wait for over an hour.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I went and got our manager and he told the
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: man that he couldn't let him wait for that long
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: in her section, but he could sit him with another waiter.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: The man then left without saying anything. The main phone
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: line for the restaurant was at the host stand, so
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: we can make reservations, etc. And this guy called me
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: the next day asking to talk to Mariah. I could
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: tell by his voice that it was him, so I
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: played stupid and I said, can I ask who's calling?
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: And he just responded with no put row. I got
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: my manager and he picked up the phone, saying, Hi, sir,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: this is the manager. How can I help you? Pause?
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: She's not here. Can I take a message? I watched
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: his face when he listened to what the guy said next,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: and he looked like he was about to throw up.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: He hung up on the man without saying another word.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: He wouldn't tell me what the guy said. It was
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: clearly something disgusting aimed at Mariah. We ended up having
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: to tell this guy she didn't work there anymore, so
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: he quit asking for her. After he was told that,
• 16:46
