"I was walking down the street when I saw a rusty nail in the road. I picked it up and threw it into an empty house's yard (not helpful I know). After I threw the nail a man came out of what I thought was an empty house and shouted at me. I freaked out (thinking it was about the nail) and kept walking towards my house. The guy didn't sound mad but I couldn't make out what he was saying. He started following me to the street and gesturing me to come over but my gut told me to keep on walking. I get home and see from my house the empty house is now surrounded by cops (At this point I still think it's about the nail). After a while, it gets worse and men in full gear show up.

I found out later that the house was indeed empty, the men inside were known criminals, and I very much almost ended up a hostage."
