That's interesting Paul. I talked to my sister last night and she said there was a lot of other stuff going on that is not put on the news (It's on CNN and MSNBC all the time now). That wouldn't surprise me if the neighbor did it. It is sad times that we live in.
On a somewhat related note: A few months ago, I found footprints in my backyard in the snow. They went from the side fence next to the corner house to the bathroom window, and then retraced back. There was NO WAY my wife or I did that cause there were no footprints close enough to the house or leading to the house. So I installed a motion detector attached to a radio to warn us of any possible intruders. The Shotgun is loaded with 00buck and ready to go.
Just goes to show that your not safe anywhere you live!! I live in a zero crime neighborhood (burglary, theft, etc.), but this stuff still happens!!
