Hmm

I have the vague (and probably paranoid) suspicion that someone was in the house when we came home tonight. A few things were not as I left them when we went out, and I felt a bit... uneasy. You know that "not right' feeling...

I had to give Babe a quick shower before bed, and while he was screaming his objections (he hates the shower, although I got him to take it with the promise that his head wouldn't get wet), I heard some stomping about, either downstairs or next door, together with a door closing. The sense of unease also lifted.

I really can't be sure if someone was in the house. And if someone was, it was probably the local at-risk youth who's more into mischief than harm at this point. But still...

I think I will be consistently locking the doors from now on.

What a shame.

Yes, I'll be doing that from now on. And locking them from the outside is a good idea. Must remember it.

That's the thing that boggles my mind is that this is a good neighborhood. Relatively poor, but not by any means a neighborhood harboring/encouraging criminal behavior (any spare money goes towards the kids for toys, food and other 'worthless' stuff). The one 'at-risk' youth I spoke of is at-risk because of his psychological make-up more than economic status.

I can understand your being angry at someone doing something to your yard, but at the same time, if it was something that needed to be done anyway... how nice. Obviously people are responding to the care you're putting into your yard. :-)
