So I had something strange happen...

That's' pretty funny!

now I wanna see pics of what your pony shelf looks like, it's gotta be pretty grand to make the guy think you had a toy shop in your home LOL

[littlexflitter]

That is quite odd! o_o

[Katgyrl]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who though it was odd! We totally don't live on a street with a lot of foot traffic or in town or anything! We live on a highway out in a little country town! There is a lot of car traffic of commuters, but still...
 
Since you asked, Whellu, I mifgt as well take this opportunity to show off my ponies.

It's not super fabulous but I suppose I can see how it would look kinda like a toy store shelving maybe. But then the rest of my front room there is totally messy and full of random craft crap, not very store looking.
 
We're just hoping he wasn't a creeper or something.
 
Thanks for your concern, Pinkrosedust, but don't worry, the windows they are next to are on the north side of our house so they don't get any direct sunlight. (and then there's the fact that we live in Seattle where even direct sunlight is not ver strong!    )

Hee hee! I am also someone who lives out of town and a lot of people out here in the boonies do have little 'shops' in their homes... but they always have a sign out front! Not just randomly putting stuff in their front window and hoping people will stop and ask! lol.

Your display is so cute Katgyrl! I need some shelves like that for my hoard. >.>

[Cool.Breeze]

*looks at pic* oh yeah, I can definitely why he might have thought you sell toys xD that's alotta pony! But still, I think I woulda been creeped out a bit, myself ;^^ I don't like it much when strangers come to my door.

I would have called the police as this is a common casing type behavior before a burglury. Even if you live way out there...its odd and I would be on the watch out for your safety.

Yeah, it does kind of seem suspicious...  Asking if you were a toy store might be a way to ascertain whether or not you have the items insured or not.  I would report it, just because a random stranger poking around your yard and your neighbors' yards is not the kind of activity you want. 

[Katgyrl]

Hmmm... I hadn't thought about reporting it. Maybe I will do that. I have been trying to convince my husband to let us adopt a big dog.I've been told that just owning a big dog deters a lot of burglers and such. I have one dog but he's old and small. (and I wouldn't mind having another pooch around the house )
 
Thank you for compliments on my ponies.  It's fun having a place to display them, even if there's not room for all of my ponies. But I did get pretty much all my G1s on there. The others are on display in my daughter's room and my other daughter's nursery.

kinda funny:)

[partypony566]

I love it!

[SkyCakes]

wow I would be cautious for sure. No telling who it could of been. Most of my ponies are in my living room but not by a big window or anything. I have them mostly by the side window. Our street isnt as busy as the last place we lived in and sadly it was on the other side 3 blocks away made a difference.

Yeah, definitely make sure you lock your windows and doors. If you were a business you would have a sign and that's just a little odd. Hopefully it's nothing though, I mean maybe he drives that way every day or something and always sees the ponies and finally got up the nerve to ask if you had a shop or something?
