Neighborhood Hobos, or ALIENS!

I think our neighborhood has a hobo or extra-terrestrial problem.  Here's our evidence.

Exhibit 1:  So, earlier today we saw a weird looking guy with a fanny pack running through peoples' lawns.  He was crouching down and picking at the grass when he saw us drive up and he quickly scampered off.

Exhibit 2:  Tonight while on a walk we noticed LOTS of weird markings on the sidewalks along with large circular piles of chalk dust.  These could be old-fashioned, hobo/tramp markings, but I'm not ruling out extra-terrestrials either.

Cryptic arrows with 3 slashes on the end.  What could it mean?!

Who, or WHAT is "BN"?!?!

Finally, the crop-circle-esque piles of chalk dust.  Perfectly round.


Any thoughts?

You'll have to keep us posted on how the mystery unfolds.

Why don't you go out and make your own chalk markings. Try to fool hobos.

Okay, you've got to ask Theresa about what we saw a crazy woman do on the grass around the Institute Building...maybe they're a local group or something and Mormons are being targeted.

The BN is for Burlington Northern, or Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). The hash marks signal the railroad. Since you live a short distance from the tracks, I would think that there is an outbuilding or some other structure that would be hobo-friendly near you. As for the "perfectly round" piles of dust, those are ex-sparkly vampires that ran into the hobos.
