That immediately raises a red flag. Be cautious, it sounds like a scam.

Maybe someone should try it to make sure. They could then notify the rest of us. I would volunteer but I am going on a trip.

You forgot to ask for the address so as you could make sure the house was ok whilst he was away :-"

The house will be easy to find. It will be 'over there' behind the other place. You will notice the lights are all off and there is no one around. The bank book is locked in the safe, the combination is in the desk drawer;
Thanks for reminding me.

No, we moved it. It is now under the Mango tree. Tied to the lowest in an empty Leo bottle. Make sure you put it back, it is the only one we have.
P.S. We usually leave the kitchen Windows unlocked.
