I agree. If I was debating leaving or not I might look at them as me with just a camera. I might think If they are staying it can’t be that bad and if things get dicey I can always just go to where they are holed up at.
I took photos of everthing in the house inside and out before we left. Photos in the closets, inside the kitchen cabinets, in the china cabinet. Photos of the roof, ceiling, walls inside and outside, furniture, plants, trees, new windows before and after plywood was put up. Plywood over all fifteen windows and three doors. Have to hope for the best now.
