Another idea I have...when I was a teen someone was doing similar things to our house. BS vandalism. I remember that the person kept picking the lock off our garage door, then hanging the locks on the fence of a school yard across the street from our house. My mom would replace the lock - only to have it stolen again. The person finally went so far as to shoot an arrow through our (my) bedroom window. The shade was down; it was thick and stopped the arrow from going into the room, which was a blessing because it could have done serious damage (or killed) had it hit someone. Very scary stuff. In fact- I still have occasional bad dreams about that stupid arrow through the window.

Back then of course, we didn't have cameras to install on private property. But my mom got the idea to hang large signs on the outside of the house that said "YOU ARE BEING WATCHED."

Go figure. It worked. The creepy stuff stopped immediately.

The police definitely need to be alerted.
Between the two of us, we do - thank you. It was not something I had planned for out of either budget so I finagled some things around. I’m restarting ADT - I only discontinued it because brother was a chain smoker and was outside smoking 24/7 and it made no sense to have it (he could neither figure out how nor remember to set it), a ring tone doorbell, security cameras placed out of reach in both the front and back of the house, motion activated spot lights, a P.O. Box for the mail for a while (I’m going to talk to the Postmaster Monday) and that’s all I can think of for now. That really ought to do it.

Brilliant move on your mom’s part!

I really appreciate your concern.
