Australian home owners have been urged to check their fences, mailboxes and entryways for a series of secret markings. 7NEWS

“Found these marked on our fence and back door entrance,” the Reddit user wrote.The resident found this code, with four parallel lines, on their fence.“Looked around the neighbourhood and noticed both corner houses of our block have had their mailboxes marked.”

The home owner elaborated on where he found the markings, adding: “Our front door entrance is concealed by a front high fenced garden. You cannot access the front door from the street.“The four strike marks at the back entrance where on the only place visible but not exactly obvious area.Another part of the Adelaide resident’s home had been marked with the letters ‘NT’.

However it was soon agreed that the markings are likely to be the work of would-be thieves in the area.“The marks are usually the numbers of days they’ve been watching your place/how many times you use an entrance in a day.” It was revealed that the four lines relate to how many days would-be burglars had been watching the home.Another added: “NT means ‘No Threat’, as in you’ve got no security. Best to remove the markings ASAP.”The home owner, who doesn’t own a dog, went on to reveal that they’d reported the incident to local police.

“We made a report. I did become paranoid after we found the markings at the start and end of the street,” they said.
