Case In Point

- Yesterday I came home with Wifey waiting for me as I pulled up in the driveway. It seems someone(s) have been maybe casing our house; cigarette butts in our front yard (gravel, but anyway) as well as footprints. Don't you hate the feeling that someone is trying to trick you, or take advantage of your shit? Our foyer IS kinda messy, with her (ok...our) flower pots and all but there's also boxes, and other stuff laying around. I suggested those movement light fixtures, she said a security system. I wanted to say LIKE I SUGGESTED WHEN WE FIRST MOVED IN, ALSO THEY WERE DISCOUNTED FOR NEW HOMEOWNERS AND YOU SAID NO WE'LL WAIT, BUT OK. So, this afternoon, I picked up the butts and raked the gravel, that way we'll know if anybody comes through. They must be casing the joint and know when I leave for work...the dogs might hear them, but at night the chuweenies sleep with the girls and the older one sleeps, maybe not hearing stuff (she's old). Wifey said they wouldn't be scared of chuweenies barking, I said it's not that they should be scared of, but the prospect of the owners rushing outside with a shotgun (the one thing I like about our state). So, we'll see. We'll clean up the foyer soon as well. Our last house we went on a trip leaving some stuff around outside and it was gone when we came back....fucking neighbors didn't know shit? I understand those trucks come by looking for stuff to take people don't want and throw out but..well, it's gotta be the wee hours, we have joggers and pet walkers. The price of living in a corner house. At least the police patrol every now and then...but still. Definitely something to chew on.
