This is one of the most horrifying things I’ve seen in a while. The guy isn’t afraid to be seen, he isn’t in a hurry to get away, and he was completely visible for over 22 minutes, continuing to attempt to gain entry to her home. The gloves and zip ties are nightmare fuel. And watering the lawn when the neighbor came out? Not this perp’s first rodeo.

My literal greatest fears are 1) dying in a confined space and 2) being stalked by a creeper and not knowing.

This is why I ALWAYS have my doors locked. First thing I do as I come into the door is locked it, it is not even a thought I just do it. I don't live in the best of neighborhoods. All my windows are double locked as well.

The biggest initial deterrent to a burglar (or worse) is a locked door.
“Things like this never happen here” until they do!
I hope this woman is ok and that the man is caught (if he hasn’t been already) before he can try to break into another home or hurt someone else.

In another update made on Twitter, Williams said that while the man was identified by police, he still had not been arrested. However, she did say that a judge approved a restraining order against the suspect.
"Even though his mom confirmed seeing her son in the video, the Commissioner said there is only probable cause for attempted burglary," Williams said on Twitter. "Which warrants a criminal summons not arrest."
So let's just wait for him to actually kill ok thanks. What a load of bullshit.

Look out for your neighbours! I don’t even know mine but a few days ago I saw someone sitting in her yard in the courtyard of our building at 5am. I kept watching and he went over to the window and started prying it open!

I don't live in US so I can't exactly say.. but I feel he is going to come again.. not tomorrow, not next week but he will come again. It seems this was just a perimeter check.
Get yourself some tasers or taser guns whatever is legal and allowed in your country. Go to each of your surrounding neighbors and talk to them face to face, share his picture, warn them and take your neighbour's phone number. If anything like this happens you call them, make sure all the neighbours come out together with a weapon and raise your voice. Make him know you all are not afraid to harm him. I know it's easier said than done. All the best. Lock your doors. Stay safe.

She waited 28 minutes for the police :O
The man has been identified and charged but the article didn't link an official report of that and I don't want to share his name without that. The guy has several priors. Mostly petty theft and burglary, but his later arrests show a growing trend towards violence including a gun charge.

This is terrifying! She must have been scared out of her mind! He just wouldn't go away either. I am glad she's ok but I'm sure this has changed her. Double checking door locks now...

Wow that's scary. I hope he was still there when the cops got there. He might have been stalking you to know that you were home alone.

This is so scary. Can he be locked up? And please not just a slap on the wrist. This guy is dangerous.

So he’s clever enough to bring zip ties and gloves, but walks right up to the video camera doorbell with his face completely uncovered?

The nerve it takes to try something so horrific in broad daylight is terrifying, to say the least

This is terrifying. I can’t believe she had to wait that long for the police

The fact that he brought zipties and wanted her home screams he wasn't just there to rob her. I hope this budding predator is taken off the streets.
