suspicious activity

[lovespandp]

Thats very scary!! Hopefully they dont come back. Your neighbor sounds like Dh- Dh has so many guns. He keeps his 9m loaded in his nightstand and I keep my .38 S/W loaded in mine you can never be too safe these days!!

Keep your eye out, if you see anything call the police!!

I am just glad you are ok. It could have been "bad".

Wow that is definitely scary! I'm glad you were there in time while he was there. Definitely keep an eye out and hope the police catch the guy!!!

Reading your post, I was thinking like you and not considering the implications for your personal safety. Best to stand back, get plate numbers, and make a call to the police.

It wasn't as reassuring as I thought it would be.

I understand how you feel because my neighbors don't hesitate to use their guns in the farm field behind our neighborhood, or once when we had a flash mob crash a party. Someone brought a gun out and shot it into the air. They also take down deer in the field. We saw deer running down our street this week and I was waiting for someone to go hunting.

Wondering if they have gotten your boat yet......I would take a wheel off that trailer to make it a little less appealing to them.

It's a flat trailer with low sides, not a boat. I wouldn't take a wheel off as it would take too much work to run to the store. But there's been no one stopping by. I think the fact that they saw me get their license plate number and I actually saw the two guys in the car, would make it less likely they'd come back.

My trailer is used for DIY projects. Right now I'm building a fence. I started building a low mesh fence last year, but shortly after it was finished this year, my neighbor's GSD jumped it's fence and mine & tried to attack ZoE in her own yard!!! So now, I'm no longer that "nice" neighbor that cared about how too high of a fence might obstruct my neighbor's view...new attitude is... to hell with their view, ZoE must be safe! So I'm about 160 pickets into my custom built 5ft tall fence. And I run to Home Depot every 2-3 days & use my trailer alot.

I couldnt remember if it was a boat or a trailer, as in camping trailer......I am glad they saw you get the plate number, even tho didnt you say the plates did not match the car?...perhaps stolen...but you SAW them, you can ID them....THAT will probably keep them away!
