The remote may be a generic one used to see if it opens garage doors to get into houses. The gloves, tools and more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins.

I know a neighbour had an intruder a few years ago and when they got arrested cops found the person had stolen his keys. So that’s probably it. They might take them intending to come back.

The socks may be used to tie the arm off for injecting, or a spare pair. But with the filters and syringes there it’s probably the former.

Baffled by the plug in light (is that what that is?) but maybe it’s hands free lighting that wouldn’t be too bright.

Perhaps the cops might like a look but not sure what they can do if nothing has happened yet.

Perhaps you might like to babysit a nice loud doggo for a little while til things are less sketchy.

Edit: Security camera is also a great idea if possible

Yeah my thoughts too.

The plugin light is an odd one.

i'm intrigued by your TV remote suggestion I've never heard that's a thing jeez.

I think I will hit up the local police see what they make of it all.

thank you kindly for your suggestions :)

This was still bugging me so I looked it up. Yeah that’s likely a universal remote (works on tvs dvd players and other things) which can also be synced to garage doors by the owner.

I think old mate possibly racked it from someone’s car.

No worries, I don’t know if any of it is fact but you hear or read things.

I really hope you stay safe
