Sadly it is not a new species, otherwise what a name it could have slagged...

Nacktschneckecus Klingelstreichus

Also mysterious... why did nobody just... walk downstairs to look? Use them peepers? At least we know no software engineers are to blame. Along with the slug, we are the one group most reluctant to walk.

If they could tell no one is there why didn't they ring the electrician rather than the cops? Doorbell going off? No one there? Must be crazy invisible teens next door, not a short in the doorbell.

It sounds like they called the police first before going down to check.
