A Roswell teenager said she heard someone knocking on her door last week but she didn’t get out of bed to answer.
“I thought it was just maintenance or something like that,” she told Channel 2 Action News.
Then she heard footsteps and told herself a family member must have come home from work, the news station reported.
When the 18-year-old, who asked not to be identified, stood up, she was face-to-face with a man she didn’t know.
“As soon as he saw me, he had a blank expression and he ran out of the house,” she told Channel 2.
The skinny man, between 18 and 23, was dressed in all black, according to a police report.

He entered the house through the laundry room after prying a screen off, and police believe his accomplice was parked out front.
After the stranger ran out of the teen’s room, she watched as he got in the four-door, gold car with tinted windows that was parked in the driveway, police wrote in the report.
She wrote down the car’s license plate number.
After calling 911 and hanging up, the woman called her boyfriend, who then called 911 to report an attempted burglary.
The boyfriend gave police a description of the suspect that included facial hair like a goatee and that he was tall.
Police told Channel 2 they believe the criminals were watching the house.
“I'm just glad he didn't try to attack me in any way or said anything to me,” the teenager told Channel 2.
