       Quite sure. The apple was quite fresh, and had clearly been
       being nibbled on by rabbits/squirrels. Also, I did a round of
       picking up dog poop the day before Christmas, and it definitely
       wasn't there then. I have no idea if it was actually poisoned,
       of course, but I wasn't going to take a chance. And, any way, I
       don't like the notion of someone freely strolling in and out of
       my completely fenced yard at will. I've put a lock on the other
       gate and posted "Beware of dogs" signs on both. The house is
       completely wired for security, including a number of cameras. I
       haven't activated the system yet, and wasn't planning to, but
       may rethink that.

       If you've already got security cameras set up, please activate
       them ASAP!
       May be nothing, but you have security devices to hand already,
       so please don't ignore them.

       But I'd have to consider if this was a threat.
