Stranger at the door looking for somewhere to sleep.....

Last night the oddest thing happened and I wanted to share it with you to see if anyone has heard of something similar....

We were watching TV last night about 8.30pm and the door buzzed. We were also doing laundry so thought it might be a neighbour asking us to take the clothes out or something.
My boyfriend opened the door and there was a guy coming up the stairs. Now I dont speak fluent german but my boyfriend is swiss and he says the conversation went something like this:
- Can I help you
- I am looking for somewhere to sleep tonight.
- Huh.....
- I am looking for somewhere to sleep tonight, can I stay with you?

.......... at this point i came to the door, the dude was still half way down the stairs and looked totally normal, dressed in white (like a cook), clean cut with dark hair and glasses.........

- No, I think you should leave.

At this point the dude left, my boyfriend explained it to me and we went down to the mainfloor to make sure he was gone. We also made sure the doors downstaris were locked. I popped up to the patio and looked around and he was totally gone.

The oddest thing is that we live in a very quiet part of Kilchberg, a bus comes 2x per hour but no train and we are kinda hidden from the road. There are people coming and going since there is a little restaurant sharing the driveway and there is lots of lighting outside.

Anyway, thought I would share this story. My boyfriend is going to call the landlord and the police tomrorow just to let them know. There was no 'bad feeling' from the dude but one never knows he might have been an axe murder. Personally I never answer the door when home alone but that is more due to my horrible german..... but its a reminder we should all be careful, just in case.
