I was screaming "Call 911!" at my computer screen.
I know! I still can't believe my mother went barging into the garage hollering "WHO'S THERE??" instead of just contacting the authorities. She justified it later by saying it was her Mama Bear instincts, but still, one would think that my father and I would have some self-preservation skills gained from watching thousands of horror and Lifetime movies (respectively) to know to call the cops first! We're just lucky the potential robbers were more scared than we were.
