So I was bathing my DD last night and heard a noise in the kitchen.
I go out to see a big bag of Juice Plus shake disappearing out the window. Anyone who has done it knows that these are really expensive.
I lean out to see a kid I know from the area, who I know to be four years old. I ask for it back and he looks at me, as an older kid passes, I ask him to pass it in.
DH goes outside to speak to the parents, big shock... No parents outside. This is at about 7pm!
There are other children but none older than 10 as they all go to the same infants and junior schools.
I was so shocked at such a young child outside, unsupervised and reaching into people's windows!
I called the police as a non emergency and explained and they sent officers out. I don't know what happened after they left our flat. AIBU by calling them? I don't know the parents or where they live and we keep alcohol, medicines and blender blades on the windowsill as it is out of reach of our DD!! If he'd have grabbed a bottle of vodka, it could have been very dangerous! ):
