Re: OOC
I'd imagine we brought him in the house. Leaving him outside would probably start my new neighbors gossiping.
"Mrs. Nelson, did you see our new neighbor has a man tied up in his back yard?"
"A man, Mrs. Boothe? Are you sure?"
"Very sure, Mrs. Nelson. I saw it with my own eyes. I think he's a sadist."
"A what?"
"A sadist. You know. <whispering> French."
"Oh!"
