Make sure the 12 GA has fresh shells and if you haven't trained the Mrs. to shoot, do it now.
We all take for granted our safety in the USA.
I just got back from 10 days in China.
Visiting potential vendors ,with a very reputable host company ............ and discreetly armed bodyguards the WHOLE time.
I took it as a comment on how valueable my party was to them.
My wife works within the court system and I guess I'm just cautious.

Insurance co's send out sub-contracted home inspection service people.
They often don't coordinate... just get-in-and-out ... with the pic's...
That's my 2 cents... keep the gun loaded though.... our neighbors house was
robbed last month in broad daylight!

Now I can just hear Eddie Murphy mocking Rosewood... "You're not gonna fall for the banana in the tail pipe?"

Kudos to your wife for noting the plate number. Now if YOU were there, you would have been in his face, or flattening his tires (just holding the valve stem valve in while waiting for an explanation (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) ) , or...

nah, the trick with the tires is, you put a small pebble inside of the valve stem cap, that way evertime they screw the cap on they have a slow leak. Usually takes them a while to catch on (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) .

just got off the phone with my insurance agent who is new... he said it was very possible it was a service they hire. He claimed we should have been contacted but admitted it's very possible that they dropped the ball. Later Ferg.

Betcha that's it. Pretty much all insurance companies do a drive by on new policies, and 60 days is the typical lag time. They don't usually contact you unless they see something realy hinky and want to get in the house or back yard.
I just changed companies a couple of months ago and got a memo from the new company to trim some branches that were touching the roof. They look for things like that, cracks in driveways or sidewalks that could be trip and fall risks, etc.
As your agent to call the company to verify it was them if you're still concerned, but kudos to your wife for being alert.
