Looking for some advice from those high roaders who actually have some real insight, not some videogame experience....
My parents live most of the year in the country on a small ranch about 7 acres shaped like a long skinny rectangle and much of the summer months an hour away in the mountains. On the property is their house at the north end and a mobile home in the middle of the property which is a rental. Several months back, they evicted the renters and in the process found that they had stolen some goods from my dads shop and also we found they were meth users.
Back to present time, the female meth head has been back at least three times in the last month saying she wanted to "pay back for a broken window" or asking the new tenants where my parents are. Today, my dad was home and saw a car **back up** into our driveway and it was the meth head former renter. She knocked and the dog barked from inside, but my dad did not answer. They have several vehicles so even tho my dad's truck was there it may not have been apparent that he was there. My dad is watching discretely and she hangs around the corner of the house out of sight for 15 minutes. Then she leaves to the mailbox out by the canal and goes through our mail and then leaves a note, that later was found to be addressed to both of my 20-somethings old brothers asking to call her.
We have contacted the sheriff before and asked them to patrol our area when we were gone, but that will only get us so far. The meth head woman had a boyfriend who made a living stealing atv's and selling meth and is very sneaky.
We are staying around the house more now, but only my mom and one brother live there consistently. (Mom is a teacher, brother is on 24hr shifts, dad is retired but goes to the mountains until it cools down more) We are thinking about going to get a video surveillance system installed, but I am guessing there are some of you with a better idea then just the vid system. Any other advice would be helpful. Thanks.
