HONOLULU (AP) – For the second time in eight months, a teenage girl in Waimanalo awoke to find a strange man asleep in her home.

In May, the girl spotted a man she didn’t recognize on the second bed in her bedroom. On Saturday, she stepped into the living room to see another stranger asleep on the couch, KHON-TV reported.

“I don’t understand why it keeps happening to me and my family,” said Donald Crummer, the girl’s father.

Crummer was at work Saturday morning when he received a call from police.

He said his daughter woke up at 9:30, walked out in the front room and saw the man, grabbed a stick used in martial arts and barricaded herself in the bedroom, then called 911.
