early this morning (Olympics!), about 5:30, I was in the kitchen making tea when I opened the patio door to see what the weather was doing…
I noticed that the back gate was open so I went out to close it… I also saw that the side gate was open… both had been closed when I went to bed…
once they were both secured, I checked the garage/driveway camera and found a photo of what appeared to be a young man with a backpack on, moving toward the front street…
the fuzzy picture shows how quickly he was moving…
then I checked the garage to be sure nothing had been taken, and everything was where it should be;-)…
later in the day, at someone’s recommendation, I called the police non-emergency number and spoke with an officer…
they checked their call records and advised that there had been a report and police had spoken with a person who said they were running away from someone…
the officer also advising that calling the police for something like this was a good thing to do…
the suggestion was to call as soon as I discovered the open gates, just in case the police were in fact, chasing a thief…
and maybe don’t go outside until after consulting the police, lol…
