Someone walked around the back of my house a little while ago within a few feet of the back wall. Rowen saw them walk past the kitchen window when Connor and I were still driving back from town. He said that he ran upstairs to look out the living room windows to see more than just legs and feet (our kitchen is mostly in-ground with its head-height window just above the ground), but whoever it was had disappeared by then. My house is not on any path that a person should be walking.
The Sterling area a few miles down the highway has had a series of "casings" and thefts in the past couple of months. There has been concern on our neighborhood Facebook group that those individuals might head in our direction. In general, I quite enjoy our relative isolation and privacy, but it can also make us vulnerable.
I have been debating getting security cameras and placing them in a few innocuous locations that still provide decent coverage. Their price and maintenance, as well as my overall lack of knowledge about them have kept me from doing more than consider the idea. However, that pair of legs walking by may have just tipped the scales away from indecision.
