Early Morning Home Invasion

Early this morning I woke up to voices in the hallway, and them someone pounding on my door..when I opened it a little this lady was like "you have my phone, give me my phone!," while pushing on the door to open it further. I told her I definitely did not have her phone, more than once, and then she pulled out a knife from her pocket and was like "YES YOU DO!," and barged her way past me into my apartment!! (She was definitely intoxicated, I could smell it when she was near me, and she said something about a party.) I just stood there in shock, still holding the door open. She walked into my living room, where Abby meowed at her..I was worried she would hurt Abby, but thankfully walked past her into the kitchen, where she opened my freezer door, took an ice cream sandwich or two and said "you don't need these" (thankfully I saw her put her knife back in her pocket then). Then she just casually walked out..my neighbor heard all this and was poking her head out her door, and I was like "..she took my food!!" haha. She called the police, who came quickly (the station is very close). A couple officers talked to me, while others went searching for the lady, who I think they found, but didn't say for sure. That was a pretty shocking start to the morning..I probably shouldn't have opened the door in the first place, but if there's a next time I'll pretend I'm not home or something, and call the police if they don't leave (I live in what is supposed to be a locked building, but sometimes the lock mechanism doesn't work properly, which is what I saw when I left for work later. They really need to fix that!!). I'm glad my neighbors look out for me though, and that Abby and I didn't get hurt! Crazy..

Today's trivia: Due to their high fat content and lower water content, pistachios are prone to self-heating. If too many pistachios are shipped in a single container, they will self-heat and experience spontaneous combustion, which is why ships have a lot of conditions to be met when transporting them (good ventilation, etc)
