No one but the cats were at home. I wasn't worried about clearing the house, as I was armed and pretty sure no one was around. It's not that big a house and not many place to hide.

Coincidence, I don't think so. A nearby rental house was recently rehabbed after a tenant moved out. The workmen had a clear view of my house, and other neighbors, and could guess our movements. My truck not being there was a giveaway no one was home. However, that truck's in the garage Monday, let us see who drops by.
