WARNING
Having a snooze on Sunday afternoon, front door open and I peeked out the shutters because of a knock at the door - to find a woman with high viz fluro vest there - I was pissed off - not only because of being woken up in my own home on a long weekend by someone soliciting for business - but also because I wasn't so sure she was there to sell tree cutting services et al - there was no vehicle, no equipment, no ID - It all felt OFF - Burglars where HIgh Viz jackets as a ploy when scoping out cameras, property layouts etc, car keys etc - Snooze at your Peril but next time I won't be so polite
