...and im off to the police station first thing tomorrow morning.
Came home earlier on today to pick up some more tools for work, While i was opening the door some bloke pulls up in a range rover sport (Black, tinted windows, fully VIPd typical crim' look.) and starts asking me questions about the house next door (How long has it been for sale? etc) then he says "Do you want a job?" So i pointed out i have a job, and pointed to my works car. He then says "Gowan mate bit of extra cash, all i need is an address to send my mail too"
Alarm bells start ringing in my head, obviously thats some dodgy fruitcake right there. I Profously declined and went about my business.
About an hour after i left there was a knock on the door and my girlfriend answers it to another guy, similiar description (But slightly different clothes) to the one i spoke to. Who then asked for his sister cheryl and said she lived here, My girlfriend told him she didn't and went to close the door. At this point he started shouting that she does live there, because he'd been here visiting her earlier in the day (Obviously bull.) he then starts trying to force the door open - No matter how much she swore at him and tryed to shut the door he kept on trying to force it open, In the end she had to set the dog on him to get him out of the house (Not many guys choose to argue with an angry german shepherd!)
She didn't ring me to let me know while i was at work and now the local police station is closed (y'know because criminals only work 9am-4pm. :uhoh
so im going to pop in there tomorrow and report it.
Seems quite likely to me that the two events are linked (I.E he saw me leave, knew from our friendly banter at the beginning she was alone and decided to try his luck)
Also, activated the personal attack feature of our burglar alarm for her so if anything happens again all she has to do is hit 2 buttons and the alarm goes off.
Hope he comes back to try it again when im here though, My personal attack alarm is a combination of the drop forged steel adjustable wrench i keep by the front door meeting his defective cranium. :rofl:
