Someone has been in the cottage in Nova Scotia. When Vinal arrived this morning to continue work on the deck, he noticed a light on. He knew he had turned off the main circuit breaker when he left the last time, which was about two weeks ago. And he had specifically turned off the hot water heater switch. Today, when he entered the cottage, the electricity was on as was the hot water. And there was one light on in the hall, so he knew someone had been in the little cottage. Final called us to ask if we had given permission for anyone to use the cottage. And he called Ross our neighbors if they had been inside. Heather cleans for us. They had not been at their cottage for weeks and we gave no permission. Thus a mystery.
The mystery guests used dishes and cutlery and washed everything to dry on the rack. Cushions had been moved from the rocking chair and couch. There was no signs of a break in. We keep a key in a lock box for ease of access for workmen and friends so perhaps someone knew the code for the lockbox and wanted to get out of the weather. Whoever was in the cottage was neat and tidy. And nothing seemed to be stolen. Final checked the boat house but nothing has moved there. Of course, the code is different on the boat house.
Now we must make a decision. Do we change the locks? Do we change the lockbox code? Or do we do both? Or should we do nothing? We must figure it out and solve this mystery.
