I guess you've never had the pleasure of living in a small town. If you had, you'd know just how observant people are, of others habits.
However, you haven't explained why mere "observance" would translate into a call to the cops (if that's what happened; according to the reports it did) under those circumstances. I can observe a lot that doesn't necessarily induce me to drag the cops into it. Initially, I was thinking that perhaps the neighbors might have become suspicious, walked over and saw a capsized canoe. However, according to another item the canoe was over 400 yards from the house, which is sufficiently far to make it difficult to see along many shorelines. Do you have an alternative explanation?
What's wrong with this picture?
You ability to see conspiracy where there may be non.
It's odd. You're the third person to use the term "conspiracy" when I haven't mentioned the word. Somehow, I think that you guys must be misusing the term "conspiracy" when what you really mean is something else. Why not pick up an OED, an choose a better word.
