Are We "Suspicious"? Really?

 Just a quick blurb in response to a recent entry in the Police Logs from Hopkins, MN where "a woman told police that a suspicious man was in her yard with a metal detector. The man, who was looking for old coins, said he was embarrassed and had been told the property was vacant. He left when asked."

Just as any well-mannered hobbyist would have done, he left when asked... but seriously, how suspicious is a person swinging a metal detector?  It's just absurd and really just sounds like another busy body taking it to the extreme.

Watch out world, us hobbyists are out to get you!!!
