I was sat processing photos on my pc with my tablet also on showing cctv and at about 23:15 I spotted three young men walking past. One kept walking whilst two came down the drive and had a look at two of my cars in the driveway causing the security light to come on and they then ducked down between the two cars. I went outside and shouted at them and they stood up and slowly walked back up the drive issuing threats to come back and "**** me up" but it's all ok because when I phoned the police they emailed me a crime number.
If they police do come I have good quality cctv footage and their faces are visible but really, what's the point? Someone on the news a couple of days ago had 40 odd convictions and still hadn't been sent to prison so what's the come back for walking down someone drive and threatening to "**** them up"?
They also had a fleeting look at the woman next doors car so I might tell her about this incident tomorrow but then again it might scare her as what can she do?
I've always loved living here and I've never really had any desire to move but I'm beginning to accept that our future may well be in the far east.
Another annoyance.
The call handler wanted to know my ethnicity.
PS.
Mrs WW didn't hear me shouting but did hear me on the phone and wanted to know what was going on. When she saw the cctv footage she was badly shaken. When she was racially abused a while back it took her a long time to get over it and I think this will take a long time to get over too. OK, a couple of scallywags walking down the drive might not sound like a big deal but it all depends how you're built.
If you don't have gates on the drive, now might be a good time to add some. Having a barrier can be enough to deter casual access.
