A couple of years ago someone broke into our house and came into our bedroom looking for stuff to steal. It was pitch dark, he was wearing a dark hoodie and I only saw him from the back. I sensed him more than saw him. I made a waking up noise and he legged it. At the time I was really ill with inflammation in my brain so I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, or my brother had come into my room for some reason so I just went back to sleep. They next day we found some very minor things missing and a bottle of vodka was left downstairs. Our neighbours house had been ransacked. I called the non emergency number just to add what I’d seen to my neighbours report and the dispatcher was incredulous that I hadn’t called at the time, like I couldn’t be more of an idiot. When I explained why, her tone immediately changed to one of “ok crazy lady” and she completely dismissed me. Not exactly reassuring. The times I’ve called in a medical emergency have always been positive though - they calmed me down, talked me through what to do, reassured me I was doing everything I could etc.
