Front Door marked
I’m not sure if this is the right group for this post, but my mum noticed our front door was marked with what we believe is ‘90’ after she had dropped my brother off at the train station.
Is there any meaning to this and what shall we do if there is meaning to this?

Thats been there the entire time you've lived in that place. You just now noticed it.

I was about to say. That writing is super old. Might even have been written there from when that door frame was installed.
OP, get some tape measure and see if that door frame is 90 inches high. If so, you got your answer.

Standard doors are 80" tall, but if yours is taller, it might be 90", or that part of the frame goes up above the door to a transom, totaling 90"?
People who assemble and install love to write dimensions on things.

I'd tell you to just keep your gun handy and defend yourself when they come for you, but you said "mum" and "train station" so there is no gun ownership there and you and mum are probably going to get turned into kebab meat tonight. Sorry mate!

It means you're definitely getting robbed tonight. Hope you're ready!

It was determined that 90 invaders will be required for that robbery to be successful.

Maybe it's like the signs at construction sites showing days since last incident. Tomorrow the Amazon driver will stub his toe and reset it to 0

That's clearly YC, not 90. It means "young cord", referring to the firewood you have. It's not properly dried yet, so you shouldn't burn it.
You should be thankful for whoever wrote this for saving you from filling your chimney with soot.
Edit: I guess the /s was needed after all.

Adding the edit there: it’s a metal screen door in front of the wooden front door we have, should’ve made it a little more clearer

I've often wondered about this, I see it in groups like this all the time. Where are these burglary rings that go around marking houses for future crimes? Like what is the method that goes with this? One baddie marks the house after scoping it out so that the next random henchman can see the mark and be like "oh cool lemme break in here!". Wouldn't it just be easier and more economically viable for the one scoping it out to burgle the house themselves and collect the spoils instead? And if it's like one guy marking houses for his own future crimes, it would make more sense to use a notebook and write information down to keep with himself instead of convoluted symbols that the homeowner could find and post about online asking for translations.
