Mad as hell

[LemonSherbet18]

This afternoon I was having a snooze when the police broke into the house. Apparently they had been knocking for some time (I didn't hear a thing). They had come around as some neighbours said they hadn't seen me in a while, to be clear we're not close and can go months without seeing one another. When I asked the police which neighbours they said they wanted to be anonymous.
Now I have a boarded up door to pay for, replacement of the glass and a passageway covered in bits of glass...goes to get dustpan and brush

Yeah, my husband could sleep through it too.

I had the police turn up to do a welfare check once. We'd just moved into a new house that had no landline (mobiles weren't very common then), and had only been there a few days, so had been busy cleaning the place (it had previously been a student let) and unpacking. It was my ex/son's dad who called them, because apparently he expected me to find the time to go out to a phone box and ring him. He was quite controlling, which is why he was an ex, so I was pretty pissed off at him.
They didn't need to break my door down though.

"Well a neighbour you never see is really not a person who'd know."

I think that that's the thing in this case, isn't it?

Op perhaps has friends, family, workmates who she is in regular contact with who would be much better placed to know whether or not there was a reason to worry.

Surely the neighbour would have tried knocking for you first before calling the police?
