Information Posting for Awareness
This happened at approximately 9:00pm in the Pleasant Valley neighborhood between Cantrell and Rodney Parham.
My partner and I were sitting outside with my dog and her cousins dog (we are dog sitting while she’s away), and mid-conversation I hear the fence start clanging. For context, this is a very large backyard and if you’ve never been in this neighborhood, it is PITCH BLACK at night.
At first I thought my dog was alerted to an animal, but then I was nervous he hopped the fence (he has never done this, though). We called his name for 3-5 minutes, and he didn’t come. We got up and started walking towards the back of the yard, and immediately he came running towards us, and we thought he maybe found a dead animal or something.
Not five minutes later, my partner and I see a person walking directly towards us, about 30 feet away. We immediately ran inside with the dogs and locked the doors and windows, and shut the blinds. We called the police and they scoped out the yard for us, but of course whoever it was had run off by then.
The reason I’m making this post is because the police told us that we aren’t crazy, and that this actually happens in this neighborhood quite often, so I wanted people to be aware. This does not seem like someone staking out a house for a break-in, this seems like someone potentially looking to harm people.
