I'm trying to imagine how she heard him jimmying the lock loud and clear, but didn't hear him knocking on the door and ringing the bell.
I sincerely apologize to anybody I offended by suggesting the Second Amendment also applies to The People who don't work for the government.

Exactly my point.

The Lt. says he tried to contact the complainant, but we don't know how he did it......or IF he did it.

It seems none of us are immune to speculating on what might have happened, eh?
