I wish I had all of these experiences.  Because I had the real thing twice.  I think I mentioned this before.  First time was after we came to the U.S.  The university that gave my father his job and furnished us with an apartment in L.A.  A few months after were living there, we had a home invasion.  I called it a burglary  with the burglar.  He broke in and woke me up.  Everyone else was asleep. I saw him  come in. Didn't see me as a heap of laundry was on the bottom of my bed.  I was small.  He crept down the hall & woke my dad up.  He yelled.  Scared the burglar and me.  We crashed into each other other, then ran in the opposite direction. I hit the wall (so did the burglar) He finally ran out with everyone running around. They never found him.  i remember when the detectives came.  I was sure I was going to arrested (for crashing into the guy) I hid under the bed.

@songbird   So scary.  Would be scary as an adult, really scary as a child.  I'm so sorry you experienced that.
