If she was that scared, all she needed to do was remember 3 little numbers - 911! No mention of cops called for 'shadowy figures on my front porch'!!
How about a porch light...
When Young appeared on Linda Vester's show (Fox), she stated she had called the cops. I still haven't heard where her husband was at the time or when she discovered the cookies the girls left her.
She did call the police.

"We heard this horrible banging on the door, like someone was trying to break it down," Young said Friday. "I ran upstairs and called out 'Who's there?' three or four times. But no one answered me and when I looked out the window, there weren't any vehicles in sight. But I could see the silhouette of someone on the other side of the window. I got really scared and called the sheriff's department."
According to documents filed with the court, the girls had parked about 500 feet away from Young's home, shielding their car behind a grove of trees.
A statement by Taylor Ostergaard included in court documents said the girls "knocked on the door three times loudly, left the plate of cookies on the step and ran away. (We) wanted someone to hear the door and find the cookies so an animal wouldn't eat them before morning."
Three La Plata County sheriff's deputies, who arrived at Young's home shortly before 11 p.m., discovered the cookies and a note scribbled on red, heart-shaped construction paper reading: "Have a great night. Love, The T and L Club."
