I live along 32nd Ave NW. Yesterday, a young man entered my house through an unlocked front door uninvited. I asked the young man what he wanted and he said he was selling magazine subscriptions to sponsor his trip to a soccer camp. Then, he added that he was the son of a neighbor, Ron and Trish. I told him I didn't know Ron and Trish. And when I asked where he lived exactly, he backtracked his way to my front porch and fled.
SPD says this qualifies as burglary even though the man didn't take anything. I notified my neighborhood watch group and several other people on my street report similar events. One person reported that the young man had come to her back door, which is not visible from the street, entered, and when confronted, told the a slightly different story and then asked for a glass of water.
The young man was caucasian, in his early to mid-twenties, wore his hair in a crew cut and was wearing a white t-shirt and tan shorts.
SPD recommended that in the future neighbors report this type of interaction with suspicious people on the street at the time it is happening.
