I'm on my phone so will be brief. Neighbours told me that they caught someone trying to get in my back garden yesterday, and they chased him off. He's a local lad, in trouble a lot, (was outside a pub at 11;30pm asking strangers for a pound for his bus fare home - he lived round the corner... He made the mistake of asking my mum, then ran off when she told him off)
He is the son of a couple me and ex used to foursome with. The couple split up in the last year or so. I'm still in contact with the wife, not close, just fb and promises of a catchup that never happens. My house is a terrace with an alley going between me and my neighbour. There is no other way to get to my garden, there is no reason for anyone but me or neighbours to be in the alley. I doubt he knows it's MY house, just trying his luck.
I don't Want a confrontation, I don't want to fall out with the mum, but I really don't think I'd get anywhere with her if I told her what he was doing - she refused to believe her dd was pissed and vomiting all over when I told her 10 years ago.
Would you go straight to the police? Would that make things worse for confrontation / fallout?

get Jezza to do a lie detector and please god tell me 'used to foursome with' isn't what I think Grin

Choose better people to have a foursome with?

LittleBairn · 14/10/2014 16:00

I very much doubt the police can do much if he was only in Your back garden.
Maybe his mum will be in contact when she has a new bloke bit awkward meeting up when its uneven numbers...

Foursome?

MyNameIsASACshraderAndYouCanGo · 14/10/2014 16:04

Oops, no, not THAT sort of foursome! :)

I love the casual "used to foursome with" thrown in there Grin

Mabelface · 14/10/2014 16:57

I'd tell her.

LaChatte · 14/10/2014 17:04

Yeah sorry I didn't get past "foursome"!

LaurieFairyCake · 14/10/2014 17:07

Dirty beatchez Wink

I knew you meant pub trips/dinner parties

I'd Facebook/text her privately and tell her about the money/attempted break in etc.

gamerchick · 14/10/2014 17:07

People have scruffy minds. I knew what you meant OP Wink

BookABooSue · 14/10/2014 17:08

I don't think the police would do anything. By the sounds of it, he didn't even make it into your back garden because your neighbour chased him so I don't think there's anything the police could do.

Hassled · 14/10/2014 17:09

How does the neighbour know this lad well enough to recognise him - I mean are you sure the neighbour is talking about the right person?

Mozzereena · 16/10/2014 12:50

I'm really disappointed now that it wasn't THAT sort of foursome, op.
Bloody spoilsport!

Branleuse · 16/10/2014 13:03

oh man, i wanted it to be a proper foursome. I also assumed that that FB was fuckbuddy

disappointed
