Somebody was in my garden around 8 right as it got dark yesterday and it seems they took out one of my plants on accident while trying to get out of there after I had a false alarm on the motion sensor and came down to check it out I saw one of my plants toppled over like somebody fell on it. I would think deer could be a possibility if this plant weren't literally in the middle of 10 other plants that were unharmed. I then proceeded to hear very consistent footstep patterns to a thief ( aka only moving when there is distraction noise and when I went into the woods to investigate those footsteps stopped but all the forest animals scurried away. I then killed the lights and hid under a dark tree for 30 minutes hoping to hear something but they stayed motionless the whole time which leads me to believe they may have been close enough to have eyes on me at the time.
Im worried it could be an old friend with a huge wrap sheet from home invasion's even though I went through great measures to try and keep him from ever finding where I live, he could have done it and I may seriously be at risk for being killed if it is him.
