'Honestly very gross': Homeowner spots intruder in her home multiple times!
- Replies 1
Homeowners take pride in their humble yet comfortable abodes.
Yet, imagine the surprise and unease of discovering that someone has been enjoying your home without prior permission.
It's a scenario straight from a mystery novel, yet for one family, it became a startling reality.
In the quiet streets of New Farm, Brisbane, a family's sense of security was rippled.
The family recently found out that a stranger had been sneaking into their backyard to use their family's swimming pool.
However, this was not a one-off midnight swim under the stars.
The mystery swimmer turned their pool into his personal leisure spot multiple times since January.
The Stevens family scratched their heads in confusion about the uninvited guest's identity.
'It just feels a little bit entitled,' homeowner Holly Stevens remarked.
Thanks to CCTV footage, the family pieced together the stranger's brazen routine.
'He's like, sweaty, has sneakers on, and he's running, and then he's stretching in the pool after a run, which is honestly very gross because it's just like this bloke that we don't know,' Ms Stevens said in an interview.
In light of their discovery, the Stevens family immediately took action.
They upgraded their home's CCTV system, which should give them clearer footage of the trespasser.
'We installed better CCTV after about the second time, so now we can see pretty clearly when he accesses the property,' Ms Stevens explained.
'Before that, it's likely that he could have entered, and we just wouldn't have known.'
The footage of the sneaky swimmer has been handed over to the police, who started an investigation into the incidents caught on camera.
If caught, the man could likely face charges of trespassing and more, depending on what the authorities uncover.
This peculiar situation should serve as a reminder to all about the importance of securing homes.
Authorities recommended taking measures such as installing external walls and fences to deter potential trespassers.
Homeowners may also consider using motion-activated lights, security cameras, and alarm systems to enhance the safety of their homes.
It's essential to feel safe and protected in your own space, especially as you cherish your privacy and peace during your golden years.
If you have an outdoor area that could be vulnerable to uninvited guests, it might be time to review your home's security measures.
