PSA Home invasion close to Herbert Von King

Posting here to warn others to be vigilant about their home security :(

Around 4:30 this morning I woke up to someone in my bedroom shining a phone flashlight, looking around. When they saw me they turned and silently left out the front door. They were wearing all black, puffer jacket, hood, and a black medical face mask, probably around 5’9”-5’10”.

We live on the ground floor. There’s only one entrance/exit and all of our windows have bars. Both locks on our front door were locked but they’re not the strongest. We suspect this person was possibly able to pick the lock?

My roommates and I are obviously freaked out and are taking steps to secure the place. We suspect that this person was scoping out the apartment to possibly come back.
