Dog poo incident

[gwenlar]

I've just drove past a girl about 12 that let her dog poo outside someone's house and walked off. So I stopped further up the road and wound my window down and just said are you not picking that up? She said oh sorry and went back and I drove off. That was it.
10 minutes later a huge man knocked on my door and when I answered he said oh sorry I've got the wrong house, I asked who he was after, he said a name and said they've got the same car as you sorry and got in his car and drove off.
We never get people knocking on and I'm assuming this is to do with the dog poo thing.
I was in no way rude to the girl that is literally all I said to her and she was fine when I drove off not in tears or anything like that but I can only assume that she's gone home and told her dad/grandad and they have gone out looking for my car.
Now what? If he had anything to say he would have said it then so now I'm thinking he's going to come back.
If asked my neighbours to let me know if they see anyone hanging round and have also logged it with 101. I wish I hadn't of said anything now.

You actually called 101?? Jesus wept

Or the two instances could be entirely unrelated.

I'm confused, why would he have said he got the wrong house when you opened the door? How would they have known your name? Did you give it to the girl? It doesn't make much sense.

You have the right to be paranoid, some people are not quite right in the head. You never know.

What did 101 say ?

I'd be nervous if that happened to me OP.
Maybe the two things are unrelated, but maybe they aren't.

It might not be connected. There are a couple of things that wouldn't add up.

If the girl lives within dog walking distance of your house, why would her family member drive rather than walk to yours, given that his car would make him more identifiable if up to no good?

Why would he bother saying the person he was looking for had the same car as you if this was a front - wouldn't he just say, sorry I've got the wrong house, and leave it there?

I think you did the right thing.

No exactly it was so weird, how would he have known he had got the wrong house just by me answering the door without even asking for the person he said he was after?

Maybe he was heading to look at a car being privately sold?

It has made me paranoid 101 said it's highly likely given the circumstances that it is related with it being so soon after. If he had knocked on and had a go at me I could have explained what happened but with him knocking and going how he did it's made me think he was trying to find out where I live.

I suppose if he was looking for a specific friend/acquaintance but didn't know exactly where they lived, he might have taken your car as a clue but would have seen on sight that you weren't the person he was after.

So they told their dad, granddad, whatever, made up a bollocks story about being threatened by this huge person that wanted to beat them up and they came to your door, realised you're not a huge person that's foaming at the mouth and twigged it the teen had vastly exaggerated the threat you were to her, and therefore toddled off again to have words with the teen.

Why did you call 101?
What the man knocking said doesn't warrant you ringing 101 OP. Honestly that's pretty crazy behaviour.

I might have completely got the wrong end of the stick and it might have been entirely innocent and me being paranoid but I really don't think so.

Then on the other hand I don't know why he came in his car as like a previous poster has said it has made him very identifiable.

I hope you're right Idontdowindows!

I didn't ring 101 to tell them what he said, I rang them to report what had happened incase of anything further. Which given the circumstances I have every right to do. I hope I am wrong about the whole thing and just end up feeling a bit of a dick by thinking too much into it.

But if it was connected to the girl you spoke to surely he would have said something?

You would think but him knocking and also giving a strange reason for knocking also doesn't make sense.

You called 101 because a man knocked on your door and then apologised for making a mistake?

You rang 101 because somebody knocked on your door

As I've already said I rang 101 as near enough straight after speaking to the girl a huge man comes round my house with a bullshit excuse for knocking on. The only description from the girl would of been a woman driving my car which isn't a massively common car, so to me my car would have been thing that they were looking out for.
I hope I am wrong and that's the end of it.

You logged a man knocking at the door with 101 and got an incident number?

Your local force must have more time than round here, they don't seem to record anything which doesn't involve a crime.
