The latter can be rather important to get right.

Take a look at http://www.myalbum.com/Album=GJXNA7WI

Now consider the following with the information that the previous occupiers
had dismantled the fire escape and some of it had gone the previous day. The
new owner took over at midnight. These photos were taken as follows ...
Photo 385 Fire escape dismantled 10.43
Photo 397 Faire escape in rear public passage 11.12
Photo 442 Fire escape dismantled but brought back on site 12.08

442 was taken because it was thought that they may came back to steal those
handrails, but they would now be entering private property
......................

and sometime that afternoon they did. Their vehicle was blocked and the
police called.
