Default 1/2" perfectly round holes suddenly found on my foundation wall outside

The depth of each of the two holes is approximately 8-9" !! and the
slope of the hole is approximately 25-30 deg

For the moment, I'm in shock at the whole incident. Mulling over it a
bit, I'm also starting to think
about the possible (probable) seepage of water into the foundation/
basement. Added moisture
to the downstairs family room is also a concern now.

I may just alert the police, if indeed this a case of malfeasance.
F**kin vandals.

You just can't trust anyone anymore....so sad.

Anyway, end of rant.

I'd greatly appreciate someone's help with this. This has me worried.
Don't know what the heck these are for. They were never there, just
discovered them this afternoon. They are on a side of the house by the
family room downstairs, and that side of the house abuts a public
park, so a lot of cars park by it. The reason I'm concerned is that
these holes were definitely never there before, and I can only surmise
they were done intentionally. The idea of vandals is disturbing. There
are a lot of visitors, all types of people, almost round the clock who
come to enjoy the park and park their cars on the curb in front of
this side of the house. Theyre were a lot of people on Memorial Day
especially,but there's people all the time on that side of the house.


Anyway, could anyone say if they were done intentionally or if they
are the work of a racoon or other animal. They seem too perfectly
round though, for that. I'd like to post a picture but I'm not sure if
we can do that on this group.


Thanks,


Chris


You can post pictures for free at sites likewww.photobucket.com.


What kind of material are we talking about here? Cinder block? Other? How
many holes? Do they go all the way through to the basement?


If the answer to that last question is YES, what did the police say when
you
called them?


I'm going to post the pictures I just took in a minute to the
photobucket site.
The walls aren't cinder block.


I can see this is going to be fun. We now know what the walls are NOT made
of. Can you reveal what they ARE made of?
