If I didn't know for a fact that it happens, and more a case of hearsay, I'd be tempted to agree with you.
Care to share your facts?ks.If I didn't know for a fact that it happens, and more a case of hearsay, I'd be tempted to agree with you.
s.Simple enough, our yard got broken into and when I met the police there the conversation turned to my dog sat in the truck.
Went on to tell me of two recent events where dogs were taken, one from a farm and one a private residence.
Both had markings to the front of their properties, not glaringly obvious.
So to answer your question, from the police...and not the plastic sort either.
Having dogs stolen is a bit ruff fuff if you ask me and certainly a bit fishy in the OPs case.

So, it was drawn on, at half past one in the afternoon by a middle aged, well dressed man. He walked up the drive and drew it on without looking at the car or in the house.
Still none the wiser, local religious nut spreading the message of Christianity? Who knows. I might pop into the police station later on and see if they know who it is or have any other reports.
I'm not that concerned, would like to know why someone would do such a thing though.

Well dressed midle aged chap is ideal spotter material (not as suspect).
I'd have a look around and see if there are others in you area.

I know the OP lives in Scotland, but even there it's a fair bet there are going to be some other well dressed middle aged chaps if he looks around the area?I'd have a look around and see if there are others in you area.

I was about to get annoyed by this cultural dig but then I looked out the window and noticed that yeah, is is mostly tracksuits. 
A fish-shaped sign warns that "the object" is protected by alarms.

A quick bit of googling suggests it's a sex game signal. Apparently a fish on a driveway is the way for women to signify that any passing bloke is welcome to knock on the door if they want to deposit some of their little swimmers?
The same site suggests that using UV ink is a common approach, as men in the know can find it easily enough whilst leaving the luckless man of the house none the wiser.
It then goes on to say that as you'll never be able to get the UV ink off the paving, the best way to deal with it is to add a harpoon through the fish with your own UV ink.
Bet there are now lots of worried PH men saying, "I'm just popping to the car / garage dear" Do they use waterproof ink / chalk or whatever it is? And a few more looking down at the pavement while out walking the dog.
