  Yikes!  I hear the pitter patter of little squirrelly feet in my rafters all the time, and birds, and mice, but never big foot steps.  I have listened to the squirrels throwing walnuts at the roof and they roll down and hit the gutters.  Lots of strange noises, but to hear someone walking in my attic would send me scurrying out the door as fast as my feet could carry me.  I'm glad they found nothing and really hope it was just something fluky that sounded like foot steps.  I am impressed by the response you got, tho.  I don't think we have that many total on our police force.  |
