Home from Detroit and wife calls police on me

Hit the road about 4:00 PM. Called ms dkh and said look for me around 9'ish, depends on how good of a tail wind I can catch. I walk in the house at 8:50 and found ms dkh sleeping on the couch. The house was very warm so I opened a couple of windows and the front door to let some cool air in.

I go upstairs to unpack, get out of my suit, brush my teeth and take my meds. I hear our front screen door close and I thought ms. dkh had woken up and went to the front porch. A few seconds later I hear a "Hold it right there" I step out of the bathroom and look down the steps - there is our Chief of Police with his gun drawn and my neighbor with a base ball bat.

As soon as they saw me, they were both laughing their butts off. Seems ms dkh woke up, heard me upstairs and ran to the neighbors and said that she heard someone upstairs and that I wasn't expected home until 9:00. Neighbors wife called 911 and the neighbor grabbed a bat.

Nobody noticed that it was 9:01 PM.

Thats my normal MO when I get home late. Unpack, put on comfy clothes and then send ms dkh to bed.

My wife will be the talk of town today.

BTW, I did tell her she did the right thing. Get out of the house and go to a neighbors if you think someone is in the house.

So you go through all that crap in Detroit, survive the motels, the Mickey Dee's with bulletproff glass, the flight home, the drive up 28,( didn't have to dodge any bolders did ya?) then you get in your own house and you have to look down the barrel of a gun. Yep sounds normal. Welcome home David!!!!!

This isn't the first time something like this happened.

When i was in my early 20's I was in between permanent assignments. My company wanted me to work in the St. Louis area so my parents said to just move home for a couple of months. I loaded up a small u-haul truck with my meager belongings, drove to my parents house and unloaded it in their basement. They had recently moved to a lake front area so I didn't know a lot of people there. After I unloaded, I took a quick shower to get ready to go to work second shift at a St. Louis hospital. While I was taking a shower in the basement, I heard a "Come out of there NOW!!" I grabbed a towel wrapped it around my waist and opened the bathroom door. There stood a deputy sheriff with his gun drawn.

Deputy "Put your hands up"
Which I did

Towel dropped to the floor.

After what seemed like an eternity, prolly only a few seconds -

Me "As you can see I'm unarmed. May I pick up the towel please"

Sheriff "Whatcha ya doing there boy"

Me - "I WAS taking a shower"

Sheriff "Got any ID"

I reached into the bathroom and grabbed my wallet and handed him my out of state license. That went over well.

I explained what I was doing, moving back in with my parents for a short time.

I asked him to call my dad at work to verify. Which he did.

My father, the ultimate prankster, denied having a son.

Gun drawn again.

Ultimately, my father did verify my story. Seems the neighborhood had a recent rash of home robberies where the thieves backed a u-haul truck up to the houses and ripped off everything. The neighbor across the cove saw the u-haul truck and some long hair going in and out of it.

I was late for work. My boss did get a good laugh out of it.

People ask me how my wife deals with my travels. She does get upset when I go. The day she doesn't is the day I stop.

Small town on a Friday nite. The chief will occasionally add himself on. We do know he and his wife well. He was the back-up offer to the house when we bought it. He'll drive by in the summer at yell at me to get my feet off HIS railings, etc.

The chief usually has bigger guns!

My husband travels for work too. I used to get upset when he was gone every week and the kids were little because it was so hard on me. He doesn't travel has often now and sometimes I actually look forward to it. Gives me and the dogs the bed to ourselves!

I was on travel for a couple of weeks and started growing a beard. I had it about 3/4ths the way in when I came home.

Opened the door and Apollo (our 100lb german shepard) didn't like it at ALL. Sniff Sniff....Back up GROWL BARk....repeat.....Finally mommy shows up with her .45 and gives me the all clear.

He still followed me through the house with a questionable look until I shaved it off.
