I awoke yerterday at about 2am thinking we were being burgled by someone who didn't care how much noise they made. Eventuually I worked out what was going on: there was an attempted burglary going on, but it was a fox trying to raid our food waste bin. I couldn't see him from the bedroom window so I crept downstairs, grabbing a Hope Vision 1 on the way, reached the back door and then shone the light through the glass. There was the culprit, about 18 inches away, looking confused and dazzled by the light. I would imagine that foxes become so accustomed to automatic security lights coming on that they get blasé about them, so it was a few seconds before he leapt over the 8' wall between our garden and our neighbours'.
