I think your cats posted something over on the CBR boards, Dan.
Can't remember it all, but it went something like, "Stupid master not know what gaslighting is. Soon we take over entire house."
Hope this helps
Also: lock your fershlugginer door.

Something similar happened to me about fifteen years ago. Turned out a buddy had unlocked the window by banging on it and climed in.

Aaaaaand it happened again yesterday. Again, from Facebook, posted an hour or so ago --
Creepier & creepier. I'm back online (at Starbucks) for the first time since yesterday, but while i was out at the library & then lunch it happened again. This time, the rubber mat was back on the turntable, & another record -- Impedance's "Tainted Love" 12", taken from the 12"s in the record shelf by my TV -- was on the platter.
Also, looks like my camera (a Kodak Easyshare) was taken, but not, AFAIK, anything else.
In addition, my wi-fi modem, which had been at its usual place on the floor by the foot of my bed, was sitting on the bed. And one of the comics from the moved box of Boom! issues -- Planetary Brigade #1 -- had been removed & was lying face-down on the box, which I haven't yet returned to its usual place. My stapler was on top of the comic.
Other random-ass crap, too, like the top of one of the feral cat shelters that my neighbors made & gave me being removed, which hadn't been the case Thursday. And there's a new quasi-shelter, made from a styrofoam cooler, that was *not* out there before ... along with the discernible scent of what smells like LIsterine. Just. Plain. Bizarre.
I did call the police. A police woman came out yesterday afternoon & didn't *act* like I was crazy, though I told her I wouldn't blame her if she thought so.
Also -- an apple that I'd left on my coffee table was sliced halfway through with a butcher knife from the kitchen. Intriguing, to say the least.

I now suspect that whoever it is must've stumbled across the front-door key I hid outside for myself probably more than a decade ago, but haven't seen in years & years.

Yep, I'll bet that's it.
Get the lock changed maybe ?

Dan, this may sound crazy, but is it even remotely possible it was something you did and don't remember ? I've done stuff after taking Ambien (mostly raiding the fridge), but I've heard of stuff like this happening and not remembering the next day. Believe me, as a devote of Philip K. Dick (who experienced his own bizarre break-in back in, IIRC, 1971, though in that case someone used explosives to blast open his extremely formidable filing cabinet to remove papers ... he speculated until his death that it was either the government or radicals in his neighborhood, though I think he also never completely ruled out the possibility that he might've done it himself during some sort of fugue state or something), I've ruled very little out. Problem is, though, the first time it happened while I was at work -- I never even left my office except for the 25 minutes or so it took me to get a haircut about a half-mile away at the base barbershop. For that matter, even if I'd unconsciously driven to the house during that interval, I was so low on gas (I'd had the money to put in only 2 gallons earlier in the week) that I knew what what my trip odometer read ... & there was nothing extra there. And of course yesterday it happened while I was absent, with my absence documented by FB postings via the library's wi-fi (mine has been out since, I believe, Tuesday ... ATT guy is due at the house in an hour or so to check it out). |

Yep, I'll bet that's it. Get the lock changed maybe ? Definitely. Gonna picked up a new deadbolt at a home supply place as soon as I leave here. Though, y'know, in lieu of a screen door I have a heavy iron & glass door at my front entrance, & it locks. I hadn't been using that lock, but I did when I left the house this morning. I've got both keys for that one, AFAIK. |

Very strange indeed my friend and it would certainly render me extremely paranoid as well. Hopefully the change of locks will prevent one of your ex-wives from gaining entry any further. |

My exes are more likely to fear me breaking into their places, given how much better they're doing than I am. One is the city manager of Bill Clinton's hometown (Hope, Ark,., about 20 miles from where I'm from), the other retired from the IRS a few years ago.

Anyway, I'm typing this from my house. The ATT guy left a few minutes ago after finding nothing wrong with my line, even though (a) I hadn't been able to get online since, I think, Tuesday morning (hadn't bothered trying the last couple of days) & (b) ATT's service center found it wasn't connecting properly when they ran a line check.
Par for the course this week, as I noted on FB a few minutes back.

Dan, just a thought since you mentioned the wi-fi modem was handled by the perpetrator. I recommend changing your router's security password just in case. Never know, they could have access to your wi-fi and that's never a good thing.

Good to have you back Dan.
I had someone get into a duplex I was temporarily staying at and this was disquieting as well.
