Spy Thriller (IV)

What I know so far:

1. The wild squirrel bunch is a high-tech crime organization specialized in nut smuggling.

2. They are currently operating near my kingdom.

3. My backyard has been used as a transit route many times during the last couple of weeks.

4. The movement seems to take place once a day before dusk. The squirrel only passes by once.

My report:

I have been watching from my observation post for three days counting today and haven't seen any sign of movement. The only evidence I've been able to collect is some traces that apparently were left behind by the suspect such as some bitten nutshells I collected on the grass as well as new scratches I noticed in the top of the fence. However, my efforts to catch the squirrel on the spot have been useless.

I see the traces but not the squirrel. Where is it? How come I can't see when it passes by? How does it know when to pass without me noticing first? Does it have it all figured out? I am starting to believe that squirrel knows more about me than I know about her. Things like my sleeping habits, my surveillance schedule or much worse, the exact time when I abandon my post to get a snack.

This is not evolving as planned. I may have to revise my strategy and look for a more effective way of surveillance.

Yawn...It's getting late and nothing on the horizon. I'm tired. Time to lay down in that couch.
