A woman reported her son woke up to a blonde woman in her 30s wearing neatly done make-up and stiletto heels inside of their house in the 4500 block of Anaco Beach Road last week.

The son told the strange woman to leave and she apparently asked, “Would you like me to turn the light off?”

The mother then also told the stranger to leave and described her as “superwoman” because she reportedly jumped over two crab pots and a retaining wall as she left.

The mother reported the stranger was calm and polite, but was possibly under the influence of drugs. The mother reported the incident because of burglary activity in the neighborhood.
