Found a backpack in the front garden today and these are the contents

Most of it I understand and it obviously belongs to someone with not so very good intentions. You’ve got syringes, keys, tools, gloves, hammer, crowbar etc… but a TV remote (and no TV) and a pair socks has me fairly perplexed.

Don’t need this right now but as they say bad luck comes in threes just waiting for #3

The remote may be a generic one used to see if it opens garages. The gloves, tools and more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins.

I know a neighbour had an intruder a few years ago and when they got arrested cops found the person had stolen his keys. So that’s probably it.

The socks may be used to tie the arm off for injecting, or a spare pair. But with the filters and syringes there it’s probably the former.

Baffled by the plug in light (is that what that is?) but maybe it’s hands free lighting that wouldn’t be too bright.

Perhaps the cops might like a look but not sure what they can do if nothing has happened yet.

Perhaps you might like to babysit a doggo for a little while til things are less sketchy.

  Yeah my thoughts too.
  
  The plugin light is an odd one.
  
  i’m intrigued by your TV remote suggestion I’ve never heard that’s a thing jeez.
  
  I think I will hit up the local police see what they make of it all.
  
  thank you kindly for your suggestions :)

    This was still bugging me so I looked it up. Yeah that’s likely a universal remote (works on tvs dvd players and other things) which can also be synced to garage doors by the owner.
    
    I think old mate possibly racked it from someone’s car.

    No worries, I don’t know if any of it is fact but you hear or read things.
    
    I really hope you stay safe

The socks might be for deadening the sound of the hammer breaking something. I too reckon it’s time to borrow Hambam for a week or two. Or even Butters - who is quite capable of sneering a burglar to death imo.

  and your mum is feeling better
  
  Thank you. I’m hoping things stabilise over the next few days and a bit of vision is restored but it’s hard to know right now.

Impressive burg kit. Even comes with 2 needles. Jesus.

Worrying… sounds like it’s time for hambam to come help guard the joint for a bit (if he’s up for it). I hope you don’t get that unlucky trio

  When I saw it I thought ‘well that not usual’… opened it up ‘hrmmm’.
  
  Hambam would probably just grab his ball and wait for the throw :)

The plug in light thing is a night light.

That’s an old school remote. Can be used for TV and blu-ray (although the blu-ray remote looks a little different) and it can still be used for newer Samsung TVs. Perhaps it’s been modified for opening garage doors or something.
