The Story of a Man on a Screen Door

I heard the latch jiggling and went outside to investigate. There was a man walking off the side of the front porch away from the house. I called after him asking if there was something he needed but he ignored me completely. My dad then walked over to the neighbors to ask about this odd behavior. The weird guy was their son who'd just gotten out of prison for theft related crimes. He got caught six weeks later breaking into another neighbor's house.
