Have you called police to your home? Why?

Years ago, I called the police around 2am because I heard something that sounded like someone trying to open the front door. I was really scared. The police came and checked around the house and then he stayed outside to make sure we were safe. Nothing happened after that and I felt secure.

Not to my apartment, but to my building. I thought there was a fight going on, but it turned out to be a panic about half of a group getting stuck in the elevator. I've also called the fire department for a gasoline spill in the bicycle shed, and an ambulance when my father could hardly breathe while visiting him.
@NerdyPotato and not exactly called them, but I went down to the precinct three times in two months to file a report about theft when the charger of my mobility scooter was stolen from its locker repeatedly. The landlord installed a second lock on it and that prevented a fourth time, but the thief was never caught.

I have called them to a country gas station convenience store at night about 1:30 p.m. when a carload of teens pulled up and broke the plate glass window out to rob it of cigarettes. The police arrived too late and the teens had stolen all the cartons of cigarettes. I worked till 12:30 at night back then and kept hearing our dog bark, saw their legs behind a trailer loaded with animal feed, they were walking back & forth trying to hide.

I also called the police when I heard glass breaking one night. I had just watched the 10 p.m. news and they showed a serial killer (Richard Ramirez) who had just been captured in California and showed his evil face on tv. Less than 5 minutes later glass was breaking at the house next door. I looked out my bathroom window and saw no lights on. When the police arrived they went to the man’s home first. He was at home, had been sitting in the dark watching TV. It was getting warm in his house and he had wanted to put water on the water cooler, opened his window and it broke. He thanked me for calling the police because he had gotten broken into before.
Only when I still lived in New York and the first of three cars were stolen. Think the cops were struggling to keep a straight face when my naive self expressed some hope of it being recovered.

(When second and third cars were stolen, just took my happy ass to the precinct to get reports for my insurance company.)

As someone with a dysfunctional family, many times in the past. Thankfully I don’t have to deal with that anymore

Not to our house, but our neighbor teenager came over one night to use our phone to call the police because he thought his father was going to hurt his mother. So the police came to our house to meet the kid. Everything turned out okay, and they moved soon after that.
Yes a few times for break ins
Yes our next door neighbour frightened my child. It happened more than once. Except he seemed to agree with neighbour. Cos my child was noisy outside when plsying. Ben is autistic to explain further. They made our lives hell for a while.

Nah that's like taboo to me still. I'd call an ambulance or the fire dept if I had to but it's hard to even imagine calling the cops
No, I don't like calling them unless it's a life or death situation. Where I am currently living if you call them trust that someone taking a free ride.
