Walked a little early before as I didn’t want to be out too late after dark… saw a familiar shadow going into my block. I did another loop hoping to give him the slip but when I got back he was waiting out the front of mine.

Thankfully he’s a bit miffed at me for not being around, so after a quick greeting (and an opportunistic scan) he sauntered off a little down the path. So I was able to get inside without him trying to slip in as well.
