"So while we're getting ready to leave for work today, christy
says "there's some guy in our back yard!" I look, and sure enough, there's some
guy tramping around the back of the house. So I run outside and ask "can I help
you?" which sort of half means "can I help you?" because he's wearing a tool
belt and looks like he might be some sort of person from PSE&G doing nice
things like keeping my house from exploding or finding a water main leak and
half means "should I beat you up and sit on you till the cops get here?" -- he
told me he was doing electrical work for the woman next door and was looking for
the place the power came into the house. I decided his story was plausable, but
it bothers me that I'm so paranoid.
Ultimately we let Mr. Hugs off of his chain, so if anybody does break in, there's gonna be bits of burglar smeared all over the walls when we get home." Kyle, In a case like this, I would have asked to see ID. If this person is working for the electric company, he'd (I'm pretty sure) have that visible. No ID? I'd be really skeptical about his story. Also, when you went out front, did you see a PECO or electrician's truck/van? If the answers to these questions is no, then I would have called the police, told them somone was on your property claiming to be an electrician, but there was no reason for him to be in your yard, that you think your home is being "cased". They should send someone out to investigate a potential break-in. You gotta get those first floor bars and do something to make it harder to get into your back yard. Be safe you guys! Wendy |
