This morning, I was woken up by the sound of someone opening the door to my room, and some guy I've never seen before walks in. At this point, I'm pretty much fully awake and propped up in bed, but extremely confused. I ask who he is, and he replies "I'm Nick." Still extremely confused, I ask "who's Nick?" to which he replies "I'M Nick." Finally, I asked what he was doing here, and he just said "Hang on, my brother's in the car, you'll love it." The last part I'm not completely sure on, but in any case, obviously none of these replies helped alleviate my confusion. He then walked out and left my (1st floor) apartment, never to be seen again.
Now, as for how he got in, I had left my back door open by accident when I went to bed. I keep it open while I'm here during the day for ventilation, and there's still a storm door that I keep closed. After he left, I (still confused) got my jeans and a t-shirt on, and walked out to the back door, and found the storm door open. This convinced me that I didn't somehow dream it, since he must've left it open. It was also too real to have been a dream, and didn't feel at all like my dreams do when I remember them.
Also, this happened at 9:30am, not in the middle of the night. I only went to bed at 6:30am that night (morning?). But when he saw me, he acted completely normal, like he was meant to be there. No shock or surprise in his voice or body. He didn't see me and be all "oh honeysuckle" and run out or anything. And he had plenty of reason to think someone would be home, even more than one person, since there were two cars parked in the parking area behind my apartment (one of which was my neighbor's).
I just can't make heads or tails of this. The obvious conclusion seems to be he was a burglar of opportunity, but he didn't take or disturb anything in my apartment (though there's nothing of value out there anyways, it's all in my room), but that doesn't jive with the fact he chose a building with two cars parked right near the entrance he used. Or the fact that he wasn't the least bit startled to find someone in the apartment.
I don't know what to make of this, and it's left me confused more than anything. I thought about calling the police, since I had a very clear look at his face for several seconds and what he claimed his name was, but I decided not to because I couldn't see what they could possibly do, especially since nothing happened. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
