Shed Break-In

At some point during November or December 2012 during a period when we weren't around, someone broke into the shed by prying the hasp off the wall.  Nothing appeared to be missing but I filed a report with Officer Rosario of the Sandisfield Police Department and I re-attached the hasp.  No evidence of an attempt to enter the house or barn was seen.

FYI, the Sandisfield Police Department is a part-time department.  If they are not on duty the State Police out of Lee typically back them up.

EDIT: Paul noticed some time in January that closure on the barn door to the right of the double door was also damaged.  When I was able to get here to see it myself, it was clear that it had also been tampered with.  In this case, the wood supporting the hardware had been hacked away, making entry into the barn possible.  I assume this was done at the same time as the shed but there's no way to know for sure.  Back when the shed was broken into and we inspected the house and barn, I may have only looked at the barn doors I always use.  I have repaired it.

FYI, the lock currently on there is a little tricky.  The key must not be all the way in to open it.
