Today, I'm still awake from not sleeping last night. The reason? At 2am I was in my garage when all of a sudden someone's phone went off outside. I live in the country and no one should be out there. Looks like I'm not sleeping for the next few weeks. FML.

OP here, wow I can't believe this actually got posted. I want to say thank you for the kind words, it was deffinatly nerve racking. To clear some things up, no we did not call the cops. The reason is once I heard the phone go off I woke up my mom and she turned on all the outside lights scaring whoever it was off. (I could tell because their phone went off again but that time the sound was farther away) Also I could tell it was a cell phone from how close it was and ring tones are easy to recognize. For the people saying it could be someone passing through, I highly doubt it since my back yard is fenced and my neighbors are not close together at all. However we are thinking it might be just some teenagers, since when housing construction was going on across the road from us some teens snuck into the unfinished houses, so it could be just them. Thankfully though my parents lock up the gates to the back yard and have a motion sensor camera set up that sends a message to your phone when triggered. We also own 3 dogs, one of which is a great dane. He's a big baby but his bark sure is scary. We hope the person doesn't come back again, if they do we will be calling the cops. There has only ever been one break in the neighborhood and we hope to keep it that way.

That's incredible. Should have grabbed a weapon and wandered out there.

I would invest in a security system

I would've gone looking for it haha

I would've peed my pants. That shit is how scary movies start. Exercise your 2nd Amendment rights and strap up!

OP is from Canada, the second amendment is irrelevant haha

this sounds like it should be a movie

If I were in your situation, I would be very alert of your surroundings when you walk in and out of your home. Carry something for added protection. Also, do all that you can to make sure it appears that you are home often, and not alone--if possible. This could help warn off predators, burglars, or someone whom may just want to hurt you. This could be someone whom may have been stalking for awhile, and you don't know their intention. Don't overlook anything.

ring ring "hello police there is someone outside my house" cops "where are you" op "in my garage panicking" cops "we will send someone to your location, also how did you know someone was there?" op "I heard a one direction ring tone outside" cops " you light up my- whoops sorry"

what kind of serial killer doesn't set his phone to vibrate before commiting a murder?
