Would you allow your near neighbour to view your doorbell footage cctv for the day on which there was a daytime burglary on their home?

Yes of course, why wouldn't you?

Oh it's a reverse. How exceedingly tedious.

Couldn’t agree more. Extremely tedious

Why won't they give it to you OP?

I think it would depend on what sort of relationship you have with them - or are the sort to complain.

If you've done lots of gossiping about them even to others on the street, then they might well be nervous that the next thing will be you telling others that they could be seen and give all sorts of issues that way.

If I was asked, then if it was a neighbour I got on well with I'd show them. Someone I didn't know or was a bit of a pain, I'd probably want to look first at the footage to check there wasn't anything they were going to fuss about. I might go back and say there was nothing to be seen, so no point in them looking, but only if that was true.
If they were a pain, and there was something I'd probably suggest that if they gave me a crime number I'd give it to the police directly.

of course. Why wouldn’t you?

Of course you would.

Yes of course.
A friend passed on their Ring doorbell after their neighbour was burgled and as a result culprit was arrested

Strange question but yes!

TreadLight · 07/12/2024 19:09

Of course, just send them the relevant sections.

Imhelendawson · 07/12/2024 19:09

I presume this is a reverse. Yes of course I would.

Weird question. Why wouldn't you?
