  • Gardening equipment being taken into a property, such as plant pots, fertiliser, fans and industrial lighting
  • Windows are sealed and covered or the curtains are permanently closed

  • Birds gathering on a roof in cold weather
  • Individually these activities may seem commonplace, however, together may indicate something more sinister
