A thread of 22 comments on Facebook now deleted discussed the story and pictures posted by a North Leaside resident about the young man seen here. He jumped over a fence and “made himself comfortable” in the backyard. “My husband went out and asked him to leave. He went without much protest, straight toward the house across the street. When he saw me taking pictures he turned westbound on Donlea. I filed a police report.” The lady of the house continued: “He was rummaging through our things on our deck. I was too scared at that moment to ask about his well-being, as he was trying to steal from us. He is probably sick and needs help, but in those few minutes I could only think about the safety of my children.” Some of those posting said they think he has been seen panhandling near Leslie St. and Highway 401.
