What the heck, Ames?
Car chase through our neighborhood. Talked to Z about staying inside. That was easy.
We had the doors unlocked. Not long after, there was some FAST entering and leaving our building, which always jars our door a bit. We had a stern knock, I said "stay behind me, buddy. We don't know who's out there right now."
Turns out it was the State Patrol, also concerned. We all talked calmly, as there didn't seem to be any signs of duress or anything here. I offered our home for a search. They're looking for a woman, (new neighbor, I'm guessing).
Multiple cars of Ames Police and State Patrol with officers combing the yard all around our building. Saw an officer through the back door, so I went to talk to him, lest he think I'm just ignoring stuff. He had a couple basic questions like "Is anyone else there?" I told him my 5 year old was in there on the couch and the chief shouted over "He's good. We already talked." They recommended locking all the doors, so that's done.
Just went upstairs to use the bathroom and there's a pulling on the upstairs, never should have been there door, which has a chain lock. I talk for a second to some woman I don't know who pulled on the door. Told her nobody uses that door, she told me the police were here and left. Double-checked the lock on the doorknob like that'll matter.
Meanwhile, a car is being towed from our parking lot.
