Mystery of creepy driver solved. Is this weird?

I'm fairly new to mn, but I'd love to know what people think about this weird bloke.
Basically, we live in a remote location on a farm next to a church. At the same time, every day, for months and months, I've noticed a man drive his car past our house at 6pm every day. The track past our house is private, but the farm workers and those attending the church use it. Therefore, there are not many passing vehicles and most of the cars are people we know, such as the farmer, church warden etc.
The man's car is quite noticeable as it has a striking number plate.
I'm not your average curtain twitcher, in fact, I'm a busy working mum of 4 dc and barely notice my surroundings, particularly at this time. But I have noticed his regular drive by for about 10 months. He always parks by the churchyard about 15 mins before leaving past our house. As a family we have hypothesised his reasons: visiting a relative's grave, admiring the view, phoning his secret lover from the safety of his car, he's in MI5 and I'm a person of interest...our theories have become more and more wild. We call him "Astra Man" (make of car changed in case he's on mn and he now plans to kill me in my bed)
Well...today, I solved it. I was heading home in a hurry and passed him sitting by the church. I'd obviously caught him off guard but I stared across at him as I drove past.
He had a bottle of beer in his right hand and his other hand was hastily coming out of his trousers!! So basically Astra Man drives to a remote church every day at 6 for a beer and a wank!!?!!
I find that a bit weird and rank, mainly because our dc play on the lane and I regularly walk the baby in his pram around the graveyard. It's by no means a wanking monkeys post, but I was wondering what other mumsnetters thought?

Do I ignore it, make a point of walking past and trying to put him off his stroke, give him a knowing wave, phone the police?

I realise this is a total rural post, but I'm no pearl clutcher. Is this weird? What do others think?

You're asking if it's weird that a man has a wank in his car each day by a church?

Yes. But I'm surprised you are asking. Call the non emergency police number, explain the situation and give them his index number and let them decide what they think

You could ring the police and report him for drink driving?

Yes weird. I imagine he won't be back now he knows you know. If he does I would call 101 and let them know they might at least be able to get him for drink driving.

Did you post about this before?

Not posted about this before.
My OH says his wife is prob a prude so doesn't let him drink or wank so we should ignore him. I think it's a bit rank. Especially given that our family home is in close proximity. I was considering telling the farmer or the gamekeeper.

Drink and wank driving. Whatever next?

We used to have similar when living very rurally. The passing places in our lane seemed to be a hotspot for men reading dirty magazines that they would then throw out of their windows or what I assume were people having affairs.

Was delightful.

Tomorrow pretend to take a photo of him in the car. Make sure he sees.
He won't be back.

CuttedUpPear what if he thought I was being all kinky?

At least if I call the police, I know what time he'll be there!
I've seen his car parked a mile away in the next village and I've seen him with his wife. I wonder what he tells her Hmm "Righto, I'm off up to the church for a beer and a wank"

Are you sure he was wanking? Maybe he's pokemon hunting, churches are often pokestops.

I'd phone the police emergency number . Especially as you have his regular number and explain.

Totally agree. Call 101.

BeanyGodkin · 26/08/2016 22:12

PikachuSayBoo It IS a pokestop...,but I doubt he finds many down his trousers.

I'll phone the police. I mean, it's a bit gross for all the genuine people who tend their relative's graves.

I do feel rather sorry for him, needing to go for his solitary beer and wank up your cul de sac (ooo errr mississ!) But agree not very nice to do it by a church. I was very upset when I went to visit my dad/granny/brother's grave about 18 months ago and found a couple snogging furiously on the bench about six feet away.

Sorry, missed a plural there - granny, dad and brother all have separate graves, just very close to each other. And this bench was bang in the middle of them.

Did you actually see him masturbating? How do you know he wasnt just rearranging his crown jewels after an uncomfortable drive? Unless you saw him pulling the head off it there is no case to answer and its just tittle tattle.
