He drives away, and I go to the neighbor down the street where he was SUPPOSED to be. Not there. I think he went home to change his underwear or cry to management. Never heard from him again.
I have no problem with the dog's reaction on my front door.
He was casing your joint. When he got caught he used the address down the road as an excuse, he kept mentioning the dog so he could get you to offer him money not to report it to the police.
Keep your eye open you may be a target soon.
