This is why I dont like strangers showing up.

I find it beyond belief an actual thread was created on the whole thing to be honest. Even the OP said (quote) "She left a rubber duck. I know that is a jeep thing". Which of course I already knew.......maybe he wanted to show everyone the pretty girl.

I find it odd that a young girl would go out of her way to put a duck on a middle aged mans patio. Shouldnt she be at the mall with her friends?

You cant see my cars until you are at my house. There is no road to drive by on. I am the last house on this 1 lane dirt road. The road comes up a hill and my house is behind that hill.... Kinda secluded from that side and you cant see my cars from the other side.

So how does she know where I live exactly? I have cameras all around and none have picked her up before. Is she a profesional stalker?

If she was a neighbor she would know my routine and would have came by after I was home instead of knocking and hoping my wife was home.

I would have started the thread regardless of who brought the duck.

You are way over thinking it dude...I know most of us are retired and have time on our hands. Example-I went on a twenty mile bike ride today. I parked at a recreational park that was near an office building. As I was strapping my very nice, expensive e-bike in to the bed of my truck-a very nice looking young lady (20ish) walked right by me (it was lunch time-she was obviously taking a stroll in the park-had a name badge around her neck) and with a great big smile said "that's one nice bike" and I said thanks and gave a smile back. She kept on walking.....
That's what the girl was doing to you as a Jeep owner. Obviously it was somebody who lived nearby and saw your Jeep and was acknowledging it.
She did wait at your door for an answer-so you could acknowledge the compliment. Instead there is this thread and you can't understand the intent.

I'm out of this silly thread.

Give yourself some credit, man! The “disqualifiers” are trumped by the fact you’re still married! Obviously you’ve got some redeeming qualities other than just your name! 😎

I recently heard a someone in academia say women at the most basic level are attracted to three things in men - kindness, a sense of protection, and resources. Of course, there’s more to it than just that, but that seems to be the base level requirement for “the average woman” who then looks at attractiveness, age, height, whatever, etc to varying degrees. It is much easier for men to be in “asymmetrical” relationships where they are clearly dating/married to someone most would consider outside their league.

Some years ago a female coworker commented that, generally, smart women did not marry stupid men, but smart men often did marry stupid women.

The duck thing is for mall crawler Jeep lifestyle people to show each other how much they like the lime green hinges and door handles etc. People who get their Jeep dirty tend to think it's pretty lame. Maybe the soccer moms with the minivan and the BABY ON BOARD sign in the back window now have 4 door Wranglers and the kids aren't babies? Harmless. TJs and older seem to be out of that user group.

Someone put a duck on my 02 Xterra, I tossed it in the weeds.

yeah i mean, the only thing I ever knew of was the "jeep wave", whereas you wave when passing.

I agree that jeeps have many subcultures, and mallcrawlers are one of them. They are annoying. I have old school 31\10.50\15 BFGs on my 91, and can go anywhere, even to the mall.
 
Why would she knock on a total stranger's door if she was there simply to play the "give someone a duckie" game? Maybe as some have said , really young and immature?

So did she do that as a dare? Did she find this house by looking at "google earth?" If so , why? Could she possibly be at THE WRONG house by mistake. Reason = She looked quite uncomfortable. She looked unsure of herself and appeared ready to , and rolled as soon as she seemingly did what she was there for. Odds are , no one will ever know.

The person who came up with the "Stuff Happens" signs n shirts, could also make some these days saying , "Strange Happens."
 
Ordinances prohibiting "vendors" (aka, traveling salesmen) exist because house robbers pose as such.
She easily could've been casing the joint...if only to see if "nobody's home during the day".

She just as easily could've been a giddy youngster doing the duckie thing....up a blind dirt road...to its dead end....in the searing desert....

Duckie left at the door, you say? I thought the duckie went on the vehicle.
Ask me how'd I feel to find a melted toy on my car.

Importing containers full of rubber ducks will be the straw which breaks our economy's back.
 
ok, ok, ok...I think I got it...not kidding, but seriously.

You have a secluded "driveway" that is difficult to navigate...maybe a challenge for your average 2wd Civic. Your town is growing, people are buying property next to yours, and people new to the area are buying jeeps and starting to explore what they can do, and explore the area.

A new jeep owner and new to the area knows just a bit about jeep culture, so carries ducks with her...she is also "hip" enough to know the American culture of folks in the "weeds" carrying guns and putting up property cams. She ventures down an unknown (maybe unmarked and not on a map) road to explore and test her jeep. She finds it dead-ends at a house. Now...I have explored remote places before...and I get nervous when I come across a home where I thought I was way off grid (I'm sure our definitions of "off grid" can be different). She came up to your house with a peace offering as she assumes you have cameras and wants to leave peacefully. She didn't really want to chat, but showed in the best way she could as a jeeper that she meant no harm, and went back the way she came.

I guess that is how I would read this...

I am also an optimist, and try to see the best in folks.

She glanced down at the duck before she placed it because she wanted to know she was leaving the right one...either her favorite as she was worried about making sure the peace offering was good enough, or her least favorite as she knew it was a "wasted duck"

About the original topic, that is highly suspicious and all kidding aside it’s not cute nor funny for someone to leave a duck. Likely wanting to mess with people potentially not only the OP.

Jason Bourne, on the conspicuously out-of-place rental car -just before Maria gets killed-: "The car is wrong...his clothes are wrong".
Me, on the girl's appearance at Chris142's house: "Her shoes are wrong".
Also, the way she tips her left foot suggests an affectation of coyness, not new social encounter related thrills.
