To ask if anyone has ever reported you to the police

So the mad bitch rang the police on us and they came out a fortnight later

That’s insane!

Yep me and my bestie were trying to track into our flat because we were pissed and locked out. I distinctly remember saying "We're not burglars we're just idiots"

no but i did get reported to the RSPCA about "my" dog (i didnt have a dog !!). the inspector was really threatening and wouldnt except that there was no dog and had never been one...i lived in a tiny 1 bed upstairs flat and was out all day....working at an RSPCA boarding kennel !!!

I had the Police visit and accuse me of causing a crash, when I was at university. They came when I was out and then a couple of days later, demanding to see my car.

I didn't have a car. I did have a blue Suzuki motorbike, with the same reg as the red Vauxhall Astra reported to have cut a skip lorry up, resulting in it knocking a traffic light down. I showed him the bike and he insisted that I should own up!

He wanted to know where I'd been the previous Friday and I told him St Abbs Head. "Oh, I suppose you can prove that, then?" he sneered.

Well, yes - 3 geology lecturers and 45 other geology students were on the coach with me. I suggested that the driver had crashed, come up with an excuse and made up a number plate. Apparently, that made me a smart arse.

I ended up getting a lecturer to write me a letter and went to the station with it and my bike documents. After a few minutes speaking to the bemused desk sergeant, he told me I wouldn't be hearing anything more!

No one down our street clapped ever. There was a young tube video filming people in our area clapping at the door. They drove up our road and no one was out

Yes.
Won't say anymore as I am in the process of suing.

im sorry that happened to you. ive had police come out for psychosis also but they were kind

That was in England and there were no consequences for the neighbour who was acting out of pure spite.
I think there would be charges brought against the neighbour for malicious reports or wasting police time if that had happened in my home country.

My friend was reported by her neighbour for truancy with her young son "driving him around when he should have been at school" and they apparently said she was drinking as well just to make the police attend

The police arrived at her house just as they were getting back from a long morning at a teaching hospital, where her little boy, who was born terminally ill, was having his weekly check up and treatments for cancer and his other conditions.

Yes, in Birmingham in the late 1980s. I was on a bus and a ticket inspector got on. I'd absent-mindedly chewed my paper ticket. The inspector said that he couldn't read the destination on my ticket (I thought it was still legible) and therefore he had to assume that I was fare-dodging. The driver denied any recollection of how much I'd paid. As a law-abiding and rather strident young woman, I wasn't having any of this and refused to get off the bus, so it was stopped and the police were called. I got a comfortable ride all the way to my front door in a patrol car and was more careful with my bus tickets after that.

the covid thing is insane

Yes. In the early days of email someone set up a hotmail account and used my names and sent death threats to some people at my work. I was extremely close to being arrested but I could prove to the officers I was somewhere without internet access on the dates the emails were sent. (It was a very long time ago)

My old neighbour thought the alleyway that ran between her house and a green area in an estate was hers, it absolutely wasn't. She used to peep out the window waiting for us to go down there and she even hit my friend.
the idiot woman called the police on me for 'bombing her wheelie bin' because I put a carton of orange juice in there.

I did eventually end up bombing her bin with a bottle of coke and some mentos to create a huge avalanche for her being such a moody pillock to us kids on the estate outside playing.

moved house after that and never saw her again.

No, not yet. 🫣

OMG you’re suspected of maleficium in 2026 - I’m so jealous! (Early modern witchcraft nerd here) 😂

I was attacked by the neighbours dog and coincidentally had a miscarriage later that day. It was awful at the time.
A few years later, they got a new puppy which just kept barking at us through the fence. I told the neighbour she needed to train it or we would absolutely be going to the authorities, no neighbourly mediation.
She got in first, told them I said I'd poison the dog not once but three times which is an unbreakable spell. The poor rural community support officer had to say it out loud.
She waited till DH was away and the kids were home from school for extra impact. She's got a log book over 20 years now. Bird strikes, wind blown recycling bags, I'm to blame.
She tried to sell her house a few years ago, I do hope it's on the solicitors declaration.

Yes! Ex called the police to say that i was purposely poisoning our then 2 year old, who has many allergies, causing her to have allergic reactions and trying to pin them on him. That my home was filled with rats and cat poo. Social services called me to inform me of his rant and they could see his call was really about our coparenting conflict as he barely discussed the kids, and that we would have a police welfare call to just tick the boxes. Kids were amazing when the police surprised us one Sunday morning with us all in our pj's and my hairy legs out 😄 🤣 worked to my benefit, as it meant I had the police corroborate that my home is perfectly safe in Family Court. But i was worried and panicky as i just felt judged. Ex is an idiot who likes to call the police regularly. None have been taken further, but I've been told what he said and it was more horrific than the allegation above, none of it was true or they were things he did.

Yep the neighbours who were harassing us who we'd reported the police.
They reported us in retaliation.
They didn't get anywhere with it cos they were actually the ones in the wrong but it just added to the harassment. And they reported my child (age 8 at the time) claiming she was harassing them (fyi no she wasn't they were just truly awful people)

Er yes, I fink I might 'ave been.

When I was 19 I was severely anorexic and went into psychosis, escaped out of my house where my parents had been trying to keep me until they could get me into a ward somewhere. Somebody phoned the police when I was acting erratically, they were absolutely awful. They arrested me and I spent 14 hours in a cell, I had dislocated my own thumb to get out of the handcuffs and was clearly extremely poorly but they didn’t want to know. It took one of the more senior police officers at the custody suite to recognise I actually needed medical attention. I was sectioned shortly afterwards and police admitted I should never have been in custody after my parents complained. Parents were going out of their mind with worry because they had reported me missing and vulnerable and despite the fact I had been booked and was in the police system, nobody let them know until over 36 hours later.

For breaking into a Royal Mail trolley that was tied up to a lamppost, I was the manager and the postie had lost the keys

Yes. I was arrested when my two ex partners teemed together and made up a story that I had shared images of one of them.

a nice long 12 hours in the cells and ultimately all dropped when they checked my phone and realised they were lying bastards.

it was very public and traumatic but I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong.

Our last home had a very large garden.
Every year, but only once a year, in summer we would have a party for friends and our dc friends.
Although we had music it wasn't loud and it went off at 10pm.
At 11pm most people left or we went indoors.
We put notes through all our near neighbours doors with all the information, some of the neighbours were invited.

Every single year a ndn, we never knew who for certain but had a good idea, would ring the police who would send the community officers.
Every time the police agreed that we were not rowdy and the music was not too loud.

What did you not do op?

This will also be outing but it’s funny so I’ll share - at Uni I shared a house with 2 housemates (both English - relevant), one of whom had a nasty obnoxious Portuguese (relevant) boyfriend. He used to come in the house, slag off “English girls” and say we are all slappers and tramps, that Portuguese girls are better etc, and would also moan his head off because we we’re watching the soaps. When we said “Well go to Becky’s room to watch TV then” he said no, he liked to watch TV on a sofa. This went on every night for about a month and Becky thought he was just being funny and silly. He’d also eat all our meat and make a mixed grill for breakfast and never replace the food.

Anyway one day Becky and Misogynist went out clubbing and me and my other housemate stayed in to watch the Pop Idol final. When they came back, he was being rude about our TV choice, saying we were brainless English girls etc and making “la la la” noises when Ant and Dec were about to announce the winner. We told him to fuck off and he called us slags before going upstairs to Becky’s room

In short - we wanted revenge and were quite drunk so filled his shoes and jacket pockets with Branston pickle. Watching him discover it the next day (the squelching sound the shoes made when he stuck his misogynistic feet in, followed by all this Branston pickle shooting out, is the funniest thing I’ve ever witnessed) was one of the best moments of my life 😂

Anyway he went beserk, and called the police. They came round investigating criminal damage (apparently the jacket and shoes were make of Portuguese leather) but when we told the female police officers the whole story they decided to drop it (doubt that would happen these days!) and we never saw him, or Becky, ever again.
