(sorry for how long this is)
Ok, so about a month ago, I let my dogs out in the morning and was sitting out there with them. Now, I have pretty bad vision. I can't legally drive without my contacts in. So I went to call my 2 dogs to come inside, and only the one came. My other is known to get into things she isn't supposed to, so I walked around to the other side of the shed thinking that where she was at... She wasn't there. She wasn't in the back yard at all. I looked over and realized that the back gate was open. I ran out, and saw her down the block. Thank god she came when I called her.
Later that night I asked my DH if he had used the back gate at all. He hadn't. So someone had come into our yard. So we put a lock on it. I thought maybe it was a stupid kid screwing around.
Well, last night, my DH and I let the dogs out before going to bed. I looked over and realized that the FRONT gate was open. I ran over and shut it before the dogs ran out. I looked at my DH and asked him if he had used the front gate. He said "no. It was closed when I let them out earlier" Earlier was about 5 hours previous. I know I didn't go out it.
I was sitting there and it hit me. The dogs had barked a few minutes before my DH had gotten back home with dinnrer. That must have been when someone came into the yard....
Nothing is ever been stolen, or moved other then the gates.... Someone must have been watching our house to have known that my DH had left. I think I may have a peeping tom. We put a lock on the front gate now too. We also put up blinds in the computer room since thats where I spend a good deal of time doing school work. And since it is one of the rooms visible from the back yard.
What should I do!?!?!?! I'm really freaked out! I dont want to call the police and say "yeah, someone moved my gate" BUt I'm really scared. What if this person tries to harm me. There's quite a few sexual predators that live within a 1 mile radius of us, too. It's not like this person was trying to steal anything. The shed was unlocked and we have everything from powertools, to mopeds in there.
Does anyone know of anything I can do to help stop this person, or anything I can do to help protect myself? I really just dont know what to do...
ANY suggestions would help...
