Most intelligent thing FLL has ever said.

Perhaps FLL would like to post his address here so these critters and others can visit his house next.

We frequently have folks walk across our property on a shoreline path that has been used for decades by islanders on their way to the East Bear Island mail dock. We enjoy visiting with these "trespassers" and their guests (and pets) as they walk by. The edges of the path are delineated by long, straight tree branches, and we keep the surface free of small items to provide easier footing for our elderly neighbors who regularly pass by to get their mail at the mail dock. Other folks pass by on their way to visit the "carry" at the narrow mid-section of Bear Island. 🐻

......sure, come on down to beautiful old Meredith Neck and bring along a small utility trailer ...... will make you a cup of Walmart coffee in exchange for loading up my aging pile of trimmed tree limbs (not longer than 60"!) for a trip to the transfer station ...... no, that is not a pile of mulch ....... yuk-yuk-yuk!

I agree that they don't seem to be burglars but without any context it is hard to know what is going on in Hoboken's picture. If it is a snapshot from a video then their demeanor before and after this shot would say a lot. Were they sneaking around or very casual? Did they knock and wait before peeking in? Are those sliders a common entrance for a visitor to use or is there another front door? Was there another camera outside showing them arriving and leaving?

It seems like there has to be some more information that would help us know if this was scary or not.

Mormom missionaries?

I would be more concerned if these two gentlemen were peeking out the sliding glass door from the inside.
I think these two elderly men are just curious about how the stone fireplace is built, they are both looking that way.
