Yesterday, Friday, September 7 the two yard men that routinely come by and cut the grass next door came by in the afternoon and did their duties.

Today, at 3p.m., a different couple stopped by the vacant house next to us. It was a man and a woman, and they were surveying the lot and house, taking pictures and walking around the property. At one point they seemed to enter the house through the back door of the garage. We were taking notice but not paying close attention. Ten minutes later, they were outside our window knocking on our wall. We answered and had a short conversation with them through our window.

The lady's first question was if someone had move in to the house next door. We (my wife and I), were mentioning that we were wondering that ourselves, and that there has been some peculiar activity there. She said that she was a private contractor what was hire by the bank as well as the yard men. It was the guys who maintain the yard that noticed that there were some belongings in the house and it had appeared that someone had started to move in. That was what had prompted them to contact the bank or persons who hired them which led to today's inspection.

We continued by adding that we saw a moving van back into the garage once, and a couple of guys hanging out on the porch afterward. We also mentioned to them that I spoke to someone who claimed that they were 'homesteaders'. This woman today told us that she had heard of people that called themselves that and that they try to move in to foreclosures. She told us that these people had change the locks and they had just now changed them again. She then asked if we would just call the police in case we see activity of the same nature because the house is not sold yet and still in the banks possession. We asked what bank she's from but she said that it was confidential.

They went back over to the house and left around ten minutes later.
