"I think he's looking for attention, and I think he's going to do it until he gets caught," Keri Hendry said.
"It's weird, it's uncomfortable feeling, you go to bed at night you know you lock the doors. you don't expect anything like this to happen," Jim Jardine said.
"We just don't know what he's going to do next. I mean, the idea that you're trying to go to sleep and someone's creeping around your backyard is very unsettling. With the holidays and the hurricanes and everything else that everyone's been through around here, do we really need this guy," Hendry said.
