Mum checks video of 4am intruder caught on Ring doorbell - and it's instant karma

A mum was roused from her sleep by an alert from her video doorbell camera, which had captured a stranger tumbling in her garden at 4am.

Kellie Evans, from Bridgend in South Wales, was asleep when her phone alerted her to the movement outside in the early hours of Sunday, June 16. Initially, she assumed it was one of her sons who had ventured outside, and she quickly told her husband Dominic before rushing towards the front door.

However, when she looked out the window, her husband realised the individual outside was not a family member.

He yelled 'what are you doing?' at the stranger, who promptly fled. Upon returning inside their home, the couple reviewed the footage captured on the camera and were taken aback by what they saw.

The video shows a man stumbling around their front garden before taking a fall, reports Wales Online.

Mrs Evans said: "We'd been out last night to an event - we never go out, got back home and went to sleep at about midnight. At around 4am, I was alerted to the Ring alert on my phone, and it turned out to be that guy.

"It was only when we got back in and locked all the doors again and watched the video back that I saw the extent to actually how funny it was. I thought 'What are the chances of catching that?'

"I was laughing, and I've probably watched it 100 times today, and it is probably just as funny as when I watched it for the first time. You feel sorry for the man at the same time, as you think, 'Oh, that must have hurt'. You could see he had his phone out, and he seemed quite stumbly.

"I was thinking, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he wakes up and wonders: 'What the hell did I do last night? ' being covered in bruises, as clearly he will not remember himself. Without a Ring doorbell we would never have known that someone had been out and stumbling around in our garden."
