He's said on air in the past that it backs onto a cemetery, so it may be more private than it looks. Unless you believe in ghosts, I guess.

Seems 1010's John Moore can't even go away on vacation on his annual 2 weeks' retreat without some excitement back at the homestead:

And they quoted my tweet in the article. I always knew I'd reach the fame and  status of "another person".

Perhaps the photo is from John's security camera.

Your suggestion certainly has merit

It's highly likely, since it was Moore himself who posted it and not a neighbour or anyone else.

By the way, there's a follow-up message from the vacationing morning man on there now. He talks about the yard - and the trouble with what's in back of it. 

See it here.
 

I live close by to that cemetery and it's been closed to the public all year except for Father's and Mother's days for decades.   However, the lucky people who share their back yards with it used to have access year round, probably since the houses were built over 100 years-ago.   I guess Mt. Pleasant Cemetery Group decided to fence in the entire property and deny access to the neighbours.   That's a disappointment.  It would piss me off as well.

And since the story says John & his "family" were not home the photo must come from the upstairs of the neighbours house then? Unless I've missed something.

So if all that is correct I will say while the yard is perfectly & no doubt professionally manicured it surprisingly (to me) is short on privacy.  

He owes it all to 'Jiffy-App'.
 

I've used this line in other areas, and it fits well here: "When we say Action News, we REALLY mean it!"
