I meant to call 411 for information so I hung up before they answered when I realized my mistake. Then I went to the grocery store. When I came home I found out that the police tried to call me but I had already left and my friend was asleep in the bedroom. The police banged on the door, waking him up and alarming him (he answered the door naked since he sleeps that way). They thought he had harmed me and wanted to know where the female who made the call was. I don't know how they got past the front gate and were able to reach my door.
