Just read your thread.....ugh.....hate when stressful things like this come into our life.....wish all the wierdness would just pass us by....but it doesn't seem to the more strange things that happen, it's bound to land on us some time.

This guy is just too strange in his actions that's for sure.....but I'm like you, it takes me seeing a pattern before I know I need to take action. I don't react immediately, need to see a pattern, but pick up on patterns quickly also that wave red flags. You are the same way......very aware of what surrounds you.

I am guessing that he doesn't live in the neighborhood......why he's picking on your house for water......the million dollar question at this point. I know in the US that pediofiles have to register so that people in the neighborhood will know to look out & be ware if anything strange does happen. Those files are publicly available.......wondering if Canada has a similar requirement that you might at least scan to see if his face shows up.

Usually when someone is up to something & they are seen so many times, they tend to back off & realize that place isn't where they want to be........but it you do see him again, I would definitely do as your husband & confront him in a very subtle way to get as much information out of him in a friendly way to see if the information even sounds logical. Mind you, if he's covering things up, you won't get an honest answer even in a friendly conversation.

I remember the morning I was sitting next to my mother's hospital bed & I got a phone call.....voice sounded just like the carabiean accented home care person but was claiming to be a social worker wanting to talk to my mom. Held the phone up to my mom's ear & listened at the same time. At the end of the call, I asked for her name & phone number......name was some phony name & the phone number definitely wasn't a valid number because I called it after she hung up.

If he does offer you information on himself....don't just automatically believe what he's telling.....go & verify it so you can either validate that what he's saying is true, or you can take that additional information to the police.

I know your daughters have been taught well how to handle themselves in bad situations, but better not to take chances in the first place....glad you have her come in if she sees him again.

Will be interested in finding out what the future holds in this. Hope it all turns out to be nothing, but gut feeling says, there's more to this because things like this just aren't normal or right, or even an acceptable social action on his part.......know you will keep us informed.

Stay safe & all your family also
