<\/p>\nA Calgary woman is warning homeowners to lock their doors at night after an intruder walked into her house while she slept just metres away.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brooklyn Fox says the break-and-enter happened at her 9A Street Northeast home in the community of Bridgeland\/Riverside on Tuesday around 2 a.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou never think its going to happen to you until it happens,\u201d says Fox.<\/p>\n
Fox is a university student who just finished her most recent semester. She says while she and her boyfriend have a routine to lock up at night, she admits that she didn\u2019t on Monday afternoon after coming home from a long day at school.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just simply fell asleep watching a show and so I just didn\u2019t get the chance to check to make sure the doors were locked,\u201d says Fox.<\/p>\n

Surveillance video outside Fox\u2019s home shows the moment a man walked up onto their porch at around 2 a.m., before walking inside the home moments later, with Fox sleeping on the couch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is probably one of the scariest feelings I\u2019ve ever felt, like I wasn\u2019t sure if he was still in the house. The video kind of ended right with him walking in,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video shows the man was in Fox\u2019s home for just a couple minutes before he left, taking two dog collars and a pair of shoes with him, according to Fox.<\/p>\n
Fox says she would have never known the man was inside if it hadn\u2019t been for her boyfriend, Avery Scarlett. Scarlett was on his was to work when he noticed the front door was open about four inches, and told Fox to check the recordings.<\/p>\n
Scarlett says while he\u2019s left doors unlocked in the past, those habits are over.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really got to be something that I\u2019m going to drill into my brain for the rest of my life now. It\u2019s just always be locking my door after I enter a room or a house,\u201d says Scarlett.<\/p>\n
Police say there were six reported break-and-enters in the area that night, so they don\u2019t believe Fox\u2019s home was targeted.<\/p>\n
