For context, i live in a basement suite.

I was snoozing on the couch by my front window. A u-haul backed up into my window hard enough to take it off the frame. I woke up to broken glass raining down around me and a bonk to the head from the frame.

It was slowly turning after backing into the wall, I assumed they noticed they'd clearly hit something. So I'd quickly put on some clothes and went outside to see they had disappeared. They haven't been found yet.

I should have just bolted out there naked.

As for injuries, nothing serious. I have a bunch of microcuts on me though.

I just keep thinking 'if I'd just booked it out there i'd have caught the idiots'

Ive made a police report, contacted u-haul and no one has been able to track this truck.

"TL;DR:" I didnt run outside naked and the people who almost hurt me really badly got away.

Update: thanks for smacking some sense into me. Theres nothing I could have changed. Im gonna contact insurance in the morning. Thank you again!
