Stay safe dude. It’s a pain in the butt but I suggest jot down anything that happens along with the date. (Even if it’s only a few words or one line.)

Also it might be good to set up a camera in any way that works for you.

I've actually been pushing to have a camera or maybe one of those little ringy bells installed, but the old LT was against it. Since it's just me though, I think I will setup an old phone in a position that'll capture the front door at least with one of those ipfs camera app thingies.

The old LTs room sits right at the front of the house and has a view of the driveway and the front entrance, my room is in the front but sort of to the side (so I have a general view of the front porch and kind of the front door). But that's also why I'm a little nervous, if anybody was going to break my window, they wouldn't need to jump a fence first or anything, they could just walk up the driveway

I’m sorry you’re in this situation. Definitely set up the old phone camera and keep yours handy

Unfortunately I can't because the best vantage point and my spare phone are in the spare room, which the cops told me I should keep it locked and avoid going in there until they've come out, or officially decide not to. I did have another old phone in my drawer next to my bed, but I noticed today that it's completely smashed and no longer turns on
