Potato throwing mystery

[snapkat]

AIBU to ask who is throwing potatoes at us ? For around 3 months my son, who lives half a mile away, has had potatoes thrown at his front window, always around 11pm. Never caught anyone at it. And the street is always empty. Now, for the first time, we have had one thrown at our front window last night. Is this a thing nowadays ? Tonight we wait up !

Sounds like you’ve got a real chip on your shoulder about it OP.

Keep your eyes peeled tonight!!

Just be thankful nothing was Smashed.

I hope you give whoever it is a real roasting!

Ha ha, it would make my blood boil!!

How could I not open the thread with that title.

I hope you fry the bastards when you catch them!!

What a half baked idea....

Could be my ex husband as I planted a few thousand cut up potatoes in his front and back garden as a parting gift so he should have potatoes in abundance right about now :)

We could all fritter away our time hashing out the possible reasons behind potato-gate or we could just make puns.

There is an app you can put on your phone that is activated by motion, Alfred video surveillance app.
Stand for phone up in the window and see if it catches who's doing it.

Have you annoyed someone as in your whole family 😂?
They are harder then eggs

@callkiki that is genius. Terrifying but genius.

Aw, all the best puns have been taken. Luckily I am Duchesse Anna Charlotte , of the Jersey royal family and can rise above my disappointment.

TIddly pom. Tiddly pomme de terre.

All sounds a bit of a hasselback.

You could log it with 101 OP but it's probably not worth the hassle(back)

Thankyou twoheaped for the video app hint maybe tonight the perpetrator will have had his chips !

from what trajectory does said potato approach?

(sorry no puns, they've all been done anyway).

We have had this before but with MacDonalds French Fries. So not as serious until I have to pick them up.

We've also had Ginger Nuts, Rich Tea and Digestive biscuits thrown at the window. I'm guessing the kids have nicked them from Sainsburys (100yds away) and have eaten enough.

I fucking love mumsnet

Bloody bonkers.

Pot-tay-toe [santa]

Must be frie-tening

WINS.

Slightly off-topic but there's a weird phenomenon in London of a potato being placed on top of a bus shelter with skewers or similar stuck in it.

.

Perhaps you have a secret admirer and the potato throwing is an attempt at being croquettish.

Ok I’m off to find a life now.
