Re: Someone Left These on My Front Wall????

Perhaps someone who was walking found them and you were the closest house by location to where they might belong. I see this often where items that were lost and then found were simply left in full sight so the person who might be looking for them will easily find them.  Just my take on this.

I'm okay... thanks for all the concern.

 

I did call the police and they basically laughed at me.    So, I doubt it's a pattern, but I only talked to the person on the phone, not a cop.

 

I have enough fear in my life, I'm not going to live in fear of this.    I do have some obnoxious and weird neighbors.   Maybe someone just gets a thrill out of doing stuff like this to bug someone.    I'm not going to live afraid of everything.  I have enouigh stress and worry as someone kindly said.   I saved the items and if something happens again, I'll have more to show them.   The police person probably thought I was a nut.

 

 


 

 

See? That's what I expected the police to do, which is why I thought it was ridiculous to go to them in the first place. I knew that they weren't going to go all C.S.I. on a playing card, and a poker chip.

 

I'm glad that you aren't going to give this any more thought.

 

Good for you.


@Apple Head  I'm glad you're okay. You should never be made to feel bad about calling in something you feel is suspicious.  The police are there to serve and protect, so you did the right thing. 


Absolutely! I work with the local sheriff and state police in my area and they constantly tell us to encourage everyone in our area to report anything unusual or suspicious, even if they THINK it is nothing and even if we think it may seem silly. It is always better to be safe then sorry. Also, call takers don't necessarily know all the goings on but they have to put in a report based on your call so it is on file and will be directed to the appropriate dept if necessary.

 

Good luck to you and it is good you aren't going to dwell on it. It is odd but you it doesn't mean you have to be afraid or worry about it.
