Planned robbery on my home?

[slinxy]

Not sure if it was the high winds on Friday, the local kids messing with my fence or a planned robbery on my house but I came home yesterday to find that one of the fence panels for my garden was removed from the posts but placed back standing up against the posts.

It’s one of those panels that are normally held in by grooves in the posts.. I only noticed it as I have a raised flower bed in the garden and the panel was standing on the out side so it was much lower than the other fence panels.

It might be totally innocent and came out in the winds, it was ok Thursday when I went out to empty the house bins and I didn’t spot it on Friday/Saturday morning, which I may have done while doing the dishes..

The panel seems to be smaller than the width of the posts now and won’t stay in.. I’ve jammed a few tree off cuts in there for now to keep it in place.

Waiting for my brother to come back before nailing some wood to the side of the panel and dropping it back in. It’s too heavy for me to lift it to the height of the posts and dropping it in once the wood gets nailed to the side.

You had a fence panel blow out in the wind.

Your fence panle probably blew out, then someone trying to be helpful propped it back as best they could.

This happened to my fence when it was really windy a couple of years ago. Some panels that were a little loose were able to come out of the concrete post slots, another panel that I couldn't just slide back in but had to lift up high and back into the slots somehow also came out of its slots.

I don't know your location but it was pretty windy a few days ago. The wind did it.

The wind and then a person did it. Both things happen.

My neighbours saw some kids smash a hole in their fence, had an argument and went for a drive and it was mysteriously fixed before they came back.

Cheap fence panels tend to change shape as they take on moisture over the years, so it's not unusual to no longer fit in the concrete posts.

I don’t think it’s a planned robbery, just the wind.

If a would be robber can lift your panel out easily, they can do it on the date / time of the robbery and they wouldn’t leave it obviously out of place to put you on high alert.

Those panels aren’t heavy, can usually be lifted straight out and in near silence it just doesn’t seem like something they’d do in advance if someone was planning on breaking in.

Honestly think you’re fine. I think it’s blown out and a neighbour was leaving it for you to find, perhaps they weren’t tall enough to get in again alone

Sounds like they cased your joint with a drone

I think it's definitely a planned robbery.

Have you recently had a seemingly innocent leaflet pur through your letterbox? If so, it's definitely a test run for a ransom note after a kidnap.

Sell that house immediately.

I think this is the most likely theory

Guys, I found a paper bag from Lidl’s bakery in my garden this morning. Has someone marked my house for robbing?

 

[Hotwired]

Need more details or can't be sure if you'll be robbed.

What portable valuable goods do you have, make a list.

And what days will someone be in.

I would watch this film.

Most likely they are after your dough.

It was a planned robbery by a queen wasp. I should know, my dad kills them for a living.

 

[dymetrie]

Surprised no one has suggested aliens, yet...

 

[[FnG]magnolia]

You should do what you did before; give them that slinxy stare.

I just walked pass and I could hear the youth stating that I was doing the same thing as he was, I just gave them the slinxy stare... and they both carried on arguing between themselves.

Failed fence panel theft by the sounds of it

Yeah. Helpfully put it back when it wouldn’t fit into their Corsa, even though they had the seats down
