Frank, this is gonna be fun, but only if you’re committed….
Reconnoitering is one of my specialties, so, let’s do this…
1: Try the befriend approach. Carry a cardboard box with some random
Amazon thing in it, to her front door with a fake label, her address, and say it was delivered wrongly to your door, it’s heavy, and you can bring it in for her…. Sell it with a smile, If she puts up a massive and quick response to you not entering, this is useful information.
• Should this work, once inside, keep your eyes on her, as you might end up being her next victim, and tied up to her “sleeping husband” This won’t be fun. He’s probably stinky and has started the juicing process. Not fun.
• Have your cell phone on FaceTime with your wife, and have your wife screen recording the entire thing. These moments are crucial if this goes sideways and she turns out to be a TZ agency asset and you get “transferred”
2: If not let in, and told no thanks and doors closed…. This is where you periscope windows and borescope avenues of sight open to outside view. This sound like peeping Tom level shenanigans, but you must be committed. Reconnaissance requires nerves, find them. Use the day to catalog access points and areas of interest, and the night to execute. Mind light discipline here, if she’s good, she’s always watching.
3: Let’s assume the worst. The old lady has a dead husband in there and has snapped. You’re now in the shadow realms between dick Tracy & John Wick. Be prepared to take either direction. You’re quite possibly making a grave decision approaching this situation with such curiosity, or a hero call as the husband could still be alive and hoping for a neighbor rescue.
If you’ve made it this far, you’ve shown the desire to achieve great things, or at least read a bunch of dumb advice.
Either way, have fun with it…. You have my attention, watching…..
