Earlier today I was in the bathroom when there was a sudden loud bang that sounded like something hit my house. I ran(hobbled) out to check. I saw two kids running away from my house toward another house. At that house they tried to open the front door pulling on it hard then rang the door bell and ran off. I then checked my door and saw it was partially open. The loud bang was my glass storm door slamming very hard against the side of the house. Luckily the glass didn't shatter and the siding was not cracked. I walked out to the street to the corner and watched where the kids went. Then I walked down there. I didn't see any adults, just several young kids running around unsupervised. I didn't want to go onto their property without consent so I left. I called the police non emergency number and told them what happened. An officer was at my house within 10 minutes, took my statement, and went and talked to the people where the kids went. Ten minutes later two adults came walking up to my house with the two kids that did this and had the kids apologize for "ding dong ditching me". I accepted and thanked them for apologizing. Opening the door of strangers in not ding dong ditch. It is a very dangerous thing to do. I figured I had to do something so this kind of thing doesn't continue all summer and I couldn't find an adult at the house so I called the police. Was that overkill or reasonable?
