That's funny!

Should I ask what the Roomba was "charged" with? (A/C or DC?)

My son and I were laughing about that last night

Not sure how the bathroom door got locked. Pretty sure it would only take a second to peek under the door and see what's going on. Hopefully she is elderly or at least half deaf so she has a good reason for not hearing the vacuum itself.

I have a robot floor sweeper, not a Roomba, different brand, but it is very very quiet.

You're a cop investigating a burglary call.

Subject appears to be barricaded in the bathroom and may be armed.

Would you be willing to peek under the door?

Unlike TV cop shows they don't all have flexible cameras they can just slip under the door.

The whole incident sounds silly in retrospect but they had no clue what they were dealing with other than what they were told by dispatch and by the woman on the scene.

Can't blame them for being extra cautious.

My thought as well. It ain't like Grandma's Kirby or your Craftsman Shop Vac.
