strange footprints in my backyard
i'm officially creeped out this morning. i looked out the window into the backyard and noticed some footprints that weren't there yesterday. the prints come through my gate, they circle along the back of the house, all along the side and back fence, around the shed, right up to my compost and then back out through the gate (which they left partially open). literally, it traces the whole perimeter of my backyard. the snow back there is probably two feet deep as well so the prints are extremely obvious.
also, there appears to be some other track with the footprints like the person was dragging something along with them.
so strange and now i'm worried someone was casing my house or something like that. i feel uncomfortable thinking that someone could have been in our backyard at night while we were sleeping. pretty sure there's nothing i can do about it though.

doesn't sound much like casing your house though... A little too obvious...
A drunk perhaps, any bars close to you? I would report it, just in case..
i was considering reporting it but i wasn't sure if it was worth it (i.e. they'd just look at me and be like, so what?).
yeah, we've talked about getting some cameras but haven't gotten around to it yet. this might motivate us to get on it though.
the gf suggested that maybe the marks were from his tail
i have a dog, but he's a "purse type" dog lol. technically it's the gf's dog and he's like 12lbs and scared of everything.
Oh, well, yeah... Either way the little beast should be at the window making a racket to let you know someone's there. However, if you get one of these types of dog (see below) you could open the back door and enjoy the show.
Could explain the dragging marks.
So you hunted them down and got your plant back?
there is a motion light, but never noticed it go on.
yes, i will do this. i also added a pad lock on the gate latch.
The video of some guy stealing it was worth a lot more than the $10 plant. Also had a Blue Jay Christmas decor stolen over the holidays from the front door. Great neighbors eh.
I can't do that myself. I'd go insane.
However, times change.
This reminded me of a time I was doing some work for a friend at his home in Tavistock. My partner and I pulled up in our van and let ourselves into the house which was unlocked. It was a small job, and as we were getting ready to leave the house two policeman came through the front door. They asked us what we were doing, and we explained and made a call to the guy that owned the house. As we went out of the house, I swear half of Tavistock were in the neighbouring yards watching the whole affair. The cops had blocked the van in with their vehicles. I wanted to walk out with my hands over my head and then make a quick dash for it...it would have been great to see people's expression. Anyway, guess a watchful neighbour had made the call after seeing two guys pull up in a strange van and enter the house.
I live near the methadone clinic in Kitchener - that's a whole other story....
