hey Katydid, I haven't looked at the map yet...but the property for sale piqued my interest. Can you tell if it is empty? Wonder if it has outbuildings.Wonder if it has one of those lockbox gizmos that records who gets a key out to go in. Could there be a caretaker/lawn service for the property?? If it is vacant, could someone have been casing the place out, to steal Hvac/copper?
Going one further in thinking, wonder if there were any service vehicles in the immediate area that morning, and saw a kid that might need a ride.
Bad people come in all shape and sizes and professions.
We have issues out where I live with homeless taking over abandoned / vacated homes. It can be kinda scary because we might not realize someone is living there, and we allow our kids out to play not knowing.
