    The court also heard the bird feeders had been refilled and plant pots had been moved.

    Inside the house, a pair of shoes had been removed from packaging, which was placed in the recycling bin.

    Prosecutor Alice Sykes said a meal had been cooked using items from the woman’s cupboard.

    Shopping had been taken from a bag and placed in the fridge, which had been rearranged.

    Kitchen utensils had been placed in the bin, and new ones from the shopping bag had been laid out.

    And toothbrush heads had been replaced on toothbrushes, an empty bottle of wine had been placed in a rack having been drunk, and the floor had been cleaned with a mop and bucket left out.

    The victim also saw a bottle of red wine had been left out next to a glass and bottle opener, and there was a bowl of sweets on the living room table.

    Well damn, can he do my place when he gets out?
