I’m a day late (I was too tired to look at the comics last night after driving home from work at 10:00 pm in the snow and from working much too hard at my job), but I want to say Happy New Year to everybody, including Graham and Annie and the Ten Cats and even the aliens. Best wishes to all the Ten Cats fans and Graham Crackers for a fantastic 2019. Looking forward to the return of the kitties in a few more days, but these aliens are fun too!
Last night I a call from a man who says he lives about 6 houses down from us in a blue house.He wanted to know if we had an exterior outlet so he could plug in his space heater to keep my tree warm so it won’t die.He said he’s been using a kerosene heater, using his own money. He does this a bunch of houses.He knew my name and address.The number that came up when he called says SCHOLTZEN PRODUCTS 435-635-1269I finally asked if it was prank call – he was deadly serious and said no, he was saving my tree.I asked if he was sure he had the right phone number and he said “you live at 976, right?” I said NO. Then he corrected himself and said 878.This rang the “call the police” bell.1. he knows my name, address and phone number2. he admits to coming into my yard late at night as well as others without us knowingI called HPD but they are closed except for 911 and I don’t consider this a 911 call.I looked at the HOA map and 6 houses to my right is the one on the corner across the street from the mailboxes that’s for sale. The one next to it is the 976 address. I googled each house on my side of the street – there are no blue houses. To the left of me are only four houses, none blue.I had Brad leave me the truck because I wrote all of this down and am going to the PD when they open.Any opinions out there? Am I over reacting?
Nope, not over reacting, although I wouldn’t expect much from your PD – mostly because they have nothing to go on. Secondly, are the people still living in the ‘for sale’ house? WE get a LOT of calls from the addresses of houses for sale – if I don’t know the number, I don’t answer, so don’t know what they are selling.
I just talked to the police officer.He said he called that number from my caller ID and it rang once then got dead air. He went to Scholtzen and found out the company owns all phone numbers between 635-1200 and 635-1299 but 635-1269 has not be assigned to any employee.
So, he said to keep an eye out and call if I get any more calls or see anything odd.
I also got a response from Penny (HOA manager) so she knows and she if hears any scuttlebut, she’ll let me know.
Bizarre. That’s why I don’t answer my phone. If you’re not on my caller ID list I don’t answer. Same for my door. If I’m not expecting company I don’t answer the door.
