    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    The hallway cupboard door was slightly open when I got home, and the blinds in the main bathroom were also slightly open. I live alone and I'm a creature of habit, things tend to stay the same so this felt noticeable. Just paranoia, right?
    Yes - just paranoia. I had a similar experience many years ago: I came home from work noting to my alarm that there were magazines and books laying on the floor of my living room. It looked as if I had been burgled, but nothing was missing. The explanation was that I had come home the night before after having had a 'skin full' at my local hostelry, and had 'bounced off the walls' of the living room before putting myself to bed, and unknowingly knocking the objects to the floor.

    I'd notice that missing, I hope. However, I do have a strange paranoia that if someone does have access to my place they are actually pinching records 1 or 2 at a time. I don't have a particularly big collection but I definitely would not notice if a couple had gone.

    This is actually not the first time I have suspected that I have had a visitor, but it's the strongest I have ever felt it. I am just putting it down to silly paranoia, but that doesn't mean it isn't actually happening, although it really is highly unlikely.

    At least you solved your own mystery, and hopefully had a fine night out too
