surveillance cameras might help
TiR's neighbor insists on having a nice, hot cup of tea immediately at the ready upon their return home in the evening.
So every morning, Neighbor fills the kettle with water, puts the kettle on the fire, then leaves for the day.
Neighbor returns home every evening to find all the water GONE.
Neighbor demands to know: Who in the neighborhood breaks in every day while I am out to steal all the water??
Some months ago, Neighbor hired a pricey, heavily armed security team to stand guard around the kettle during the day to watch it.
The water continues to vanish, every day. Every evening, the team assures Neighbor that in his absence absolutely no one had entered the premises to steal the water.
The security team has generously offered that, if Neighbor would renew their contract for another six months, the team happily would stay on and continue to guard the kettle, to be totally secure about the situation.
Neighbor will do so. However, Neighbor is no fool.
Neighbor plans to hire a second, even pricier and better armed security team to keep an eye on the first team.
