Went outside 30 minutes ago and heard someone banging around in the garden next to mine, empty property, looked out of the upstairs window and could see a young man in a hoodie with the hood up. He came and went 2-3 times. Ok don't panic, but I live on my own. On one side I have the empty house and on the other a single mum with a late teenage boy. So thought I would do the right thing and ring the police.
Just after I had put the phone down the young man pilled his hood back, it is only NDN son.
I have been round and told him he nearly gave me a heart attack and in his defence he apologised and looked pretty sheepish. He was acquiring some bricks from the derelict house to make a BBQ.
What the hell am I going to say to the police when they turn up???
