[quote=Anonymous]Earlier today, my camera alerted me to someone knocking on my front door. It turned out to be a neighbor I recognize (though I’ve never met) looking for a lost dog. A group of about six people were helping search — again, all familiar faces from the area, not strangers or anyone suspicious in that sense.

I let them know we weren’t home and didn’t have the dog. But later, my camera showed the group going into my backyard, and they’ve returned multiple times. They look around, climb up onto my deck, and even peer into my windows.

I completely understand how stressful it is to lose a pet, but I’m really uncomfortable with people entering my property like this, especially repeatedly and without permission. I was not able to respond live each time, and I’m worried this could keep happening if the dog isn’t found soon.

I don’t want to escalate things unnecessarily, but I also don’t want people entering my yard again. Would it be unreasonable to contact the police, or is there a better way to address this with the neighbors? I have to jump on a call soon and won’t be home until later. I’m live watching and can see them still out and about. [/quote]
