As soon as he returned from vacation, Umar Abdullah and his wife carried out a series of checks with the help of professionals such as a plumber and an air conditioning company. However, these experts found nothing conclusive. Going around his home, the young father saw a crack in the door. Having some doubts about his neighbor, he installed a small camera outside his home.
