...two scruffy looking dudes wearing hoodies tried to break in through my back door this morning. I had just put two eggs on the skillet and headed into the secondary room in my house to get ready for work then I heard a light knock on the back door in the kitchen. I approached cautiously thinking about who it could be. I was about to go into view of the door when I heard the handle jiggle so I hid behind the refrigerator next to the door. After a silent pause there was a loud thud as if someone just tried to break the glass or kick in the door. I swung around the corner and braced against the base of the door with my forward foot. I was in uniform and had my gun belt on and my hand was on it the second I heard the handle jiggle. Both of the shady looking guys were like deer caught in the headlights. Through the door I said "Can I help you?" (which thinking about it was really really dumb). The nearest man said "Uhhh is David here?" I said "There is no David that lives here." before I could act or say anything else they ran off my enclosed back porch and darted out of my back yard. I called the police the first chance I got. Within 30 seconds they had set up a perimeter and caught all three guys (yes 3). It turns out that while I was in the shower they had kicked in my neighbor's back door and ransacked their side of the house (I live in a double) and locked their dog in the basement. The detectives on scene said that, until further investigation, they are being charged with burglary and attempted burglary. +3 to IMPD East District for outstanding response and capture. Plus, I got to eat my eggs
