Eek!
I just heard someone BANGING on the front door. Seriously pounding. I looked out the window and it was an lady, 50ish talking into a cell phone. Banging with her fist on the front door. She yelled: "I know you're in there! Open the door!" I thought maybe there was a car accident or something and she needed help, so I went ahead and opened it. She yells: "Are you Holly?" I said no. "Do you know Holly?" No. "Omar? Thomas? Bill? Tina?" she yelled. NO. "Well my daughter said that's her stroller and that I should meet her here!" She points at our new stroller sitting on the porch. "NO, that is our stroller, this is our house, I don't know any of those people". I say. She is still on the phone and says into it "She says it's her stroller!" I start thinking about that recent kidnapping case where the lady got into the house by asking to use the phone.
"She says this is the right address, where's Holly?!!"
I start backing into the house and closing the door. I heard her say into the phone, "She has a little boy." Meaning my son, I guess? Anyway, she left. It just freaked me out. There is no crime in this town so I normally don't lock the doors or my car. I will be tonight! And will be bringing the stroller in.
ugh, should you call the cops to do extra cruise by? That is creepy.(probably not making you feel better...but ugh!)

Mummy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird...
I would call the non-emergency police line and just tell them you're paranoid, but just in case, could they drive by a couple times during the night. That's weird.

Yeah, I'd lock your doors. Sorry Nomad.
strollers are not mass produced but one of a kid, so thats autoamtically her stroller? i'd call the cops just because its weird and she mentioned you had a little boy. do you have a dog? or a pair of large mens shoes you can leave on the front porch?

knows the person who stole it(holly), but told her mom the wrong address? or saw your stroller on the porch and assumed it was this girls house(like maybe she lives in the same neighborhood)? that was my first impression, but i tend to think too much about occurrences like this.
either way, i'd put size 14 shoes on the front porch.

It looks like No Fucking Clue has stopped responding editorially to Craigslist job-ads and has moved on to going door to door. This sucks mama. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
***the United States is one of only four out of 168 countries studied to not have some form of paid family leave for new moms. We join Swaziland, Papua New Guinea, and Lesotho in not having that policy in place. ***
That really sucks. I am creeped out and it didn't happen here. Vibes are definatly in order and I'm sending them your way now. You should call the cops and at least explain what is going on and ask to have more patrol down your road for the time being. I did that because of all the speeding and I felt safer. Be safe.-s
I hope the remainder of your evening is uneventful.
I hope she never ever comes back!
That is weird and unnerving.

This reminds me of this woman who walked by my house for weeks hoping I'd say something to her...and then actually told me that. We're cool now, she's a nice woman and totally not a freak or bizarre and harmful person in any way, but I tell ya, when she told me that it freaked me out! Maybe this woman just wanted to meet you and her limited social skills told her this was a way...like she hoped you'd say, I'm not Holly but my name is X, nice to meet you! and so on.
Or she could be a freak, I dunno, this is so ODD, right. I would have been a little unnerved too, especially since she was banging and being all rude about it.

Oh, I didn't even think of it that way. Like maybe her daughters stroller was stolen or something and is the same kind as mine? But what was up with all the insisting that I was Holly?
