I called the police

Our neighbor behind us (older and lives alone) asked me to leave Frankenstein outside as much as possible because when she was gone one day one of the other neighbors saw a guy walking through her back yard and jump the fence into our yard. We were both at work or else Frank would have gone apeshit, jumped the 4 foot fence and torn the guy a new one and if he didn't I would have run outside with a boomstick.
He was either casing houses or just jumping fences for a short cut.
