It is on a concrete floor, but I feel like there is something 'raised' it could just be the underlay of Carpet and its so old. But would like my mind at ease.

We found our pet rabbit disembowelled, leaving a big hole, which were covered in straw, with her feet either gnawed or cut off. A really terrible end to a female, who had just given birth to two bunnies. We live in Maunu and to the rear of our garden are trees/bush, with the usual wild life. … View moreWe found our pet rabbit disembowelled, leaving a big hole, which were covered in straw, with her feet either gnawed or cut off. A really terrible end to a female, who had just given birth to two bunnies. We live in Maunu and to the rear of our garden are trees/bush, with the usual wild life. Does anyone have any idea what could have done this, so we can set the appropriate traps, so this can't happen again. Thank you in advance.

After the first time I got my phone to look at my visa status and there were no such charges. Of course. I am sure if they really did call me (and it would be the bank, not some generic 'Visa'), it would not be a computer voice, but someone who could actually intelligently discuss the matter.
Anyway, consider yourselves warned. They are apparently very busy/active with their little scheme if my 3 attempts are any thing to go by.
