Judging from the large black bag slung over his shoulder, he was probably just stepping out to drop a load of trash into the dumpster.<br/><br/>"Father, it's dangerous outside!" his daughter meekly squeaked from the doorway.

Don't worry about it.  Ferrets sleep 19 hours a day.  The odds that one is out and about a this time of night or slim to none."  With that, he gave a deep flemy snort, and walked out toward the dumpster.
