Pretty sure my house and the neighbor's was being cased today. I was out in the garage, the door was open, both cars in the drive. Beater drove by very slowly...they likely could not see me. My dog barked at them. I could hear them drive further, but I knew they were nearby. So, I closed up the garage and snuck down the tree line. I thought maybe they had stopped on the bridge down the road (not unusual) but they had actually backed into the top part of my neighbors' "circle" drive. Through the woods, I could see a glint of metal from the vehicle
It was parallel to my yard and backed up just enough that looking straight down the road one couldn't see it...1. I live in a semi rural area, our "yards" are made up of fields and woods and our houses are an acre or more apart from one another. 2. That circle drive is a huge one...really not a circle...as it has an entry at the top of the property near mine and one at the bottom on the road.
That car and the 3 or 4 young men in it DID NOT belong to this area. Neighbor returned home...probable criminals got back in their car and took off. My gut tells me they were up to no good. It also tells me I need a bigger dog. Fuck, I hate worrying about my safety or being burglarized.
I am rustled.
