Thank goodness she has good neighbors. I grew up with the girl who bought the house from her parents, and we're FB friends. She said her husband noticed someone lurking around the yard and he went to my mom's with a baseball bat to protect her while the girl let me know on FB. I sent DH up there as well to sit with her until at least the cops get there. Never a dull moment!
They didn't catch anyone, but the cop will be patrolling the neighborhood this evening. This is what went down according to the neighbor: Cops just checked our backyard too - all clear! I hope they check around the neighborhood for someone on foot. Steve was out there smoking a ciggerette and he was by the fence that connects our yards to eachother- and he yelled to him who are you, what are you doing - and he got no response...so he called the cops. But i cant understand why would someone be all the way deep in the backyard like that - so weird! Officially freaked out! Yup - I'll be sleepin in my sons rooms tonight!
That's really creepy. Wtf is wrong with people. Yea, there is definitely no reason to be in someone's back yard. Yuck! Stay safe! I bet SCPD patrols around there during the night, though. They seem to be pretty good about monitoring for activity after the fact.
