Today chased a bunch of young(ish) teenagers from my garden (youngest about 14, eldest about 18). I saw them come over the fence and shouted out the window, they said they had dropped something in my garden. I told them that that was impossible and to get out. They didn't and so I went out my front door and told them to get out. They went on to say that they had thrown something into my garden the night before and were looking for it. I then told them (a bit of swearing was involved) that I didn't care and if it was in my garden it was my property. They left muttering threats (gonna burn my garden, break my face etc.).
Anway, did a sweep of the garden (was afraid of DS finding drugs) and found a TAG. Which had been cut off.
Anyway called the phone number on the tag. No answer. Called again. Still no answer. Have called all day and all I get is an answerphone message saying "You are through to ......" and then the sound of the woman on the phone putting the phone down, going back to ring tone and annoying woman adfin.
My personal answerphone message sounds more official than this, and people can leave messages.
So AIBU to expect that Tag monitoring services should be working at weekends and that maybe someone should be there to pick up the phone if you call the freephone number or at least have an answering service where someone can leave a message? If not, what is the point of Tags?
