A woman has been left horrified after finding a piece of black tape on her letterbox and being told it could mean that thieves have marked her house.
Deborah James noticed the tape at her Ballina property, about 750kms north of Sydney on the NSW coast, on Sunday.
Ms James posted a photo of the find to her local crime page on Facebook, asking residents if they knew what it meant.
'Call me crazy but I just want to ask if this piece of black tape I found hanging on the side of my letterbox means anything,' she wrote on the post.
'Only put there in last 2hours. Might just be kids and thats fine.'
