[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]They look around, climb up onto my deck, and even [b]peer into my windows.[/b]

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]

The "lost dog" was an excuse thieves will use to gain access and trust to scope a place out. There are many other excuses like that. [/quote]
