Footprints? Footprints!
What’s pictured above are some footprints right next to the stairs at the back of the house. The problem with those: they are fresh (max a few days old), they lead up the stairs and down again and they are not mine! I went on the terrace to clean Pia’s boots and while brushing them I noticed the prints in the mud/sand next to the stairs. I tried to recall whether I (or somebody else I know) could have been there. Looks like a size 10-11 to me and I’m much closer to a 13. I have to assume that somebody I don’t know was walking around in the back of the house.
You ask why this is worth mentioning? If you saw the gaping hole in a glass door of my neighbor’s home (unoccupied) you would have to agree that this is indeed worth posting. His house got broken into about 2 weeks ago. The thieves only took a few items, because there was not a lot to be had there.
I’m so happy that I work out of my home and that I’m in fact home most of the time. My dogs will also get some extra treats later on. And it’s time to extend my surveillance strategy: inside the house I have a few wireless cameras. Whenever I’m gone those cameras switch into motion detection mode and automatically email pictures to me when motion is detected. I think I got to extend that to work on the outside as well … sigh!

F’n prowlers! OMG, that would totally freak me out. The guy is obviously not a brain if he didn’t have the sense to wipe his evidence away. I’m glad you’re so tech savvy.
(Total tangent: Just saw a random photo of Frisco with a Christmas collar on him. Such a hoot!)
Love,
