    If it has two holes on the other side it's a dice:beer:
    Did I mean a die, dice is of course plural
    Post #27 might have something to do with it
    Sadly my guess has been made moot/pointless since the picture has disappeared. Perhaps it was a photo of the virtual reality box that will make itself disappear from the internet, or maybe the aliens came back .......

    That's next door but one at number 3 but what makes you think that you have the right to know what your neighbour has installed on their property?

    Keep your snout out!
    You don't need any special 'rights' to know something. Knowledge is free after all. If you fix something to the side of your house, people are going to look at it and wonder what it is.
    Unless your house is an MOD designated place then you have no rights to interfere with other people's ponderings at all.
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

    Rats! Missed the original post, so can't see the picture!

    Sounds like a puppy farm is ideal cover for a GCHQ out-station! I look forward to reading about the stand-off between the kennel club and MI6 in the Daily Mail! :)

    This has recently been installed on a nearby property, they will not disclose what it is and I suspect it is some sort of surveillance or security device. Does anyone know what it could be?

    Piqued my curiosity and then disappears. :wall:

    So was there a definitive answer or was everyone still guessing?

    The OP may have childishly removed their pictures from this thread, however considering that the device is at least 100ft from the OP's property, it has worked really well, providing much needed valuable information and now some amusement - sorted.

    The orchard walled garden is not as safe and secure as some users believe it to be. :D

    Think twice!

    That is one funny thread, he says "whatever" to justify his interest.

    On other site he was told it was not pointing at him so why should he worry, he then said he lived opposite.

    Amazing how they managed to get a sideways view picture from living opposite.

    I wonder if they were hanging over the fence or actually in someone elses garden to get the front view picture?

    My moneys on the OP being the problem neighbour.
