IcyDarcy tells us more.
OP here. So happy this got published, I need to frame it and gift it to my husband so he'll never forget this glorious moment :D Here's the full story: We were visiting some of my relatives for the holidays, and they live in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. My husband didn't know the place, it was the night (rather dark because there are very few streetlights), and he was a bit tipsy because it was Christmas. Anyway, on his way home from a walk, he got a bit lost and mistook another house for my relatives's house. (As I had told him I would lock the door but leave a door-window unlocked, it didn't surprise him that the door was locked.) But, the real house owner happened to come home right at that moment, and you can imagine his reaction when he saw a stranger trying to open one of his windows. Apparently, he tried to ask my husband what he was doing, and I don't know what my husband replied, but anyway, my husband didn't speak the language and the house owner didn't speak English. So I can't blame him for calling the cops because I would've probably done the same. Still, I was VERY mad when the cops brought my husband home, to the point that upon leaving, they actually told me, “Don't be too harsh on him, it was a honest mistake and he was very nice to us. We explained the situation, you can tell him it's all fine.” But I was so mad that I let my husband believe he would really get in trouble for a short while, haha :D

@ mariri9206 - What was I supposed to do, pick up a fight with the neighbors that my relatives would have to deal with because I was just visiting for a few days ? Also, being nosy is not illegal. It sure is annoying when neighbors spy on you, but they're still in their own property. Telling them to mind their own business as you said only makes them more eager to talk bad about you… @ interesting33 - I thought I mentioned it was a door-window, so no crawling through, just pulling it open, and no one would've been surprised of that because it's common practice :) The reason I did that is because I was in the shower and upstairs the rest of the time. It was best to lock the front door in case someone unexpectedly visited. (A couple of times, my relatives went downstairs to find a stranger in their living-room going like, “The door was open. By the way, we're selling windows, are you interested ?”) @ everyone else – My husband is very fine, he understood me getting me mad just like I understand him getting mad sometimes. If I posted it here, it's because we're laughing at it now, no one was harmed :)
The polite thing to say, after opening the door in a bathrobe to two cops, is "thanks for your service".
