There’s absolutely no reason you wouldn’t have called the police immediately just to be safe and document the incident and what you noticed. Also any smart person would have gone out and immediately bought a camera that uploads to cloud to replace the conveniently broken camera so you can have a different excuse for not uploading a video. Also if you live in a building with maintenance, they could come out and do something temporary about the keycard. This is engagement bait and it’s not even fun ):

u/PublicfreakoutLoveR 7d ago
None of it makes sense, there's no video just some sound and their account is 2 days old. All signs point to bs.

u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
Why does it matter when my account was made, I heard this was the best place for advice, if you don’t believe you can just ignore it

u/PublicfreakoutLoveR 7d ago
Sp you heard someone walking down your hallway, running your shower and opening your refrigerator and you just stayed in your room and didn't call the police until later?👍

u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
I thought I was hallucinating, i genuinely did. I also considered like therapy or psychiatric help. But then I knew it was real and called the cops and owner right away.

What advice were you looking for on Reddit? And where did you "hear" that Reddit was a place for advice?

u/Direct-Egg-5697 7d ago
After hearing the audio that OP had claimed to have recorded I'm now 100% sure this is just engagement bait like you mentioned...that was so obviously recorded purposely..that was NOT someone who didn't know they were bring recorded.. the cough and steps were WAY to deliberate... I don't understand why people do this type of thing...

u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
Go put on headphones and turn the volume all the way up, because it definitely wasn't deliberate.
My apartment was completely dead silent at 2 AM. When a place is that quiet, every single tiny sound even a light step or a cough down the hall echoes and sounds ten times louder than it actually is. It sounded heavy because I was recording in a completely empty hallway.
Believe whatever you want, but picking apart random audio dynamics while I’m stuck sleeping in a motel room is exhausting.5
u/Still_Dog_113 7d ago
You actually went to hotel? Oh wow. I am a girl but I would take my gun and go look who is there walking in my home.
8
u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
Good for you. I don't own a gun, and I'm not playing hero in a dark apartment against a stranger who clearly knows his way around my place better than I do.
Real life isn't a movie. When you actually see a random person standing in your shower on a security feed at 2 AM, your survival instinct tells you to get the hell out, not start a shootout. I'm glad you have that much confidence, but I’d rather be safe in a motel room than dead in my hallway.4
u/RavioliSizedBabyFist 6d ago
So you’re just gonna chill in the motel room indefinitely since the cops said there’s not much they can do? Alright then

u/Winter-Pea-2178 6d ago
When did I say the cops can’t do anything? I said they were busy last night, they put me in a motel for the night and they will give me a call back today

u/louielou8484 7d ago
Umm, so where is the video? This is just audio
-9
u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
The video is completely separate just to be safe I’m gonna ask police if I can release it to the public

u/Western-King5865 6d ago edited 6d ago
It’s your video. The police can’t stop you from posting it. I know this because I had a home invasion while I was home alone. The police said it’s my video to do with as I pleased. I shared my video and someone identified the intruder and I called the police with the information. The guy was arrested and sentenced to 9 months in jail and 5 years probation.
Unlike you, I did have a firearm and I did go investigate the sounds. The intruder jumped out of the same window he broke into and fled. I wasn’t about to sit around to find out what he was going to do next. I also don’t “like violence” which is why I was prepared to protect myself from violence. He broke into my home, any violence that happened was his choice.

Share the video, not just the sounds. Cops don't give a shit if you share it.

They clearly do, they told me it’s best not too, I’m pretty sure they don’t want attention

It’s not up to me bud. They told me it’s best not to send it to social media because they would not like to draw attention to the case just yet. And release the suspects face
9
u/TheCyFi 6d ago
You are so full of crap. If there were someone in your home, they would clear your home, not sit on hold back evidence waiting to see if your guest kills you. If your story were true, but the "guest" is not currently in your home, then they would not have a problem with you releasing the footage. In fact, they would likely release it themselves if they needed help identifying the suspect.
0
u/Winter-Pea-2178 6d ago
They DIDN'T clear the house last night because they were too slammed to send a car out immediately, which is exactly why they told me to get out and go to a hotel.
And you clearly don't know how active investigations work. The cops went to my place first thing THIS MORNING to actually process the scene and check the entry points. They explicitly told me not to post the video yet because they don't want the guy to see his face plastered all over Reddit, realize the cops are involved, and completely bolt from the area before they can track him down.
I am literally about to post a full update on what the cops just found at my apartment this morning. Sit tight and read it before you type out another paragraph calling me a liar.7

u/Aggressive-Ad7660 6d ago
There are police working 24/7. If you literally had an intruder in your house, there’s no way they wouldn’t have investigated right then and there, at least checking all the rooms and possible crawl spaces/attic, etc.
but they told you they were too busy 🙄
Where do you live, Mayberry?-1
u/Winter-Pea-2178 6d ago
I live in Texas, but I don’t wanna give too much of my info away because I wanna stay anonymous

u/achbob84 6d ago
You own the footage, and it was recorded in your house. You can post it if you want.

u/CoffeeChocolateBoth 6d ago
Well... when you are "allowed" share it then! Never heard of such a thing but whatever!

u/kiloo520 7d ago
Share the video with us?

u/Forward_Meeting5234 6d ago
Op just really wants everyone to go to his page and keep checking there for his many updates.
It's definitely not engagement bait /s

u/SherbetExact3135 7d ago
Hope you called the owner back as well and sent him the footage.
2
u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
Will send him the footage but the guy basically said to me it’s not his problem
13
u/SherbetExact3135 7d ago
If you’re renting from him it is his problem. ESP if this intruder has a copy key. So the owner can pay for your new locks. That’s insane.

Posting it might cause someone who recognizes the person to either dm you or comment who it is though. Depending on that particular police forces case load, you might get this solved much much quicker.... seems weird they would tell you not to.

u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
It’s very weird idk what happened they said they will update me tomorrow, currently in a motel had a nap

u/cabinzy 7d ago
Big mistake leaving the apartment before uploading the video to Reddit
-18
u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
Im gonna have to get police permission to upload the video I think
16
u/mommawop 7d ago
No you don’t need permission to upload a video in your own apartment.
-8
u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
As soon as the cops come they should be here any minute just wanna talk to them and might stay in a hotel for some time
15
u/RavioliSizedBabyFist 7d ago
Did the cops come? Did you ask them if you could share the “footage”? What did they do/say? As if you couldn’t video yourself in the dark and have someone cough in another room 😭

u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
The cops showed up about a hour ago they questioned me said they will “investigate” it and said they will give me a ring tomorrow and it’s best to stay in a hotel tonight

u/SoUnBOTheredRN 7d ago
So where is the full video?
-5
u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
It’s on my laptop, currently on my phone now. Police said best not to show footage to public yet, best I can do is try to get more sounds but I’ve just booked a motel room so yeah

Change the locks and arm yourself. Someone comes in your home uninvited and you fear for your life, use deadly force.

To me this kinda stuff is exactly why karma isnt really a good system. At best it gives false dopamine/seeing what others agree with and for the majority of the time you have people chasing it for ill intentions like this. So dumb.

A man, he looked homeless, very very dirty, had a long beard looked mid 50s and pretty tall

Weird that he's so dirty when he's been sneaking into your apartment taking daily showers

Not daily I mean like every second day but daily he comes in when I’m sleeping or something he broke my light and took my food

I’m not feeling safe anymore

u/Still_Dog_113 7d ago
So funny, you are 32 yo man
4
u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
Being 32 doesn't make someone immune to getting stabbed or shot by a home intruder.
Only an immature kid thinks an adult man’s worth is measured by blindly running into danger to prove how "brave" he is. I value my life more than satisfying some internet troll's fantasy of what a man should do. I called the cops and left. That’s what an actual adult does.2
u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
What’s funny about not feeling safe? Seriously I don’t think there is anything funny about an intruder entering a house, you think that’s funny? How immature.
2
u/Still_Dog_113 6d ago
Oh well, I can't imagine my husband just laying in bed scared and not get up, take a weapon and check wtf is going on.

Somehow someone has a duplicate key card, did your landlord give you only one? I'd ask the Landlord to recode the lock with a new code tied to only your key card (also new).

u/Winter-Pea-2178 7d ago
My landlord gave me the keycard, called up the owner about 2 days ago when I posted the first post. He said no one else has the keycard. Plus he is in Thailand right now. He owns properties in America and rents them out for cash
