You spend the afternoon planting new flowers. The soil is fresh. The mulch is perfectly spread. Everything looks exactly how you pictured it.

Then you wake up the next morning and notice something is different. A section of mulch has been scattered. Fresh holes have appeared. A few flowers have been destroyed.

You look around the yard, hoping to find a clue. But the visitor is already gone. And now you're left with a question.

What happened while I was away?

Every mystery has clues. The challenge is being there to see them.

You know you latched it. Before heading back to the house, you gave the gate one last pull to make sure it was secure.

Then, a day or two later, you drive by, and there it is.

Standing open.
