A run in with the law!

I'm not familiar with 101 (just looked it up and it says it is a non-emergency number for the police) but if they take your call, they would surely pass on the information?

I think if anyone is hanging around your property goldengirl and it's making you feel scared, it might be best to ring 999. Our police are pretty good to respond to older people living alone - even when they suspect it might be nothing more than reassurance that is needed.

I once dialed 999 because a herd of horses were stampeding down a main road towards the traffic lights and was told off because it wasn't a 999 call. Not sure what I would do if it happened again.

Oh heck it's been one of those weeks I think. This afternoon a young man walked in to my drive through one entrance had a look around at my windows and walked out the other to meet his friend who was waiting on the pavement. They appeared to have leaflets in their hands but none were left in my letterbox - for once!!! One pointed up the road and off they went. I was quite scared and once again called 101 and the officer was very supportive. I'm becoming paranoid!

The same goldengirl I think we all need to stand up to the mark even with something that others might think of no importance

You did the right thing. He was probably looking for an opportunity for petty theft. Well done you.

You did the right thing goldengirl even if nothing was done about it.
