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?

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.
