Potato throwing mystery

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 !

If you confront them, Murphy's Law it will not go well. Just tell em to jacket in :)

SofieMonde · 14/08/2018 13:59

They will be jalap in your face

BlackBeltInChildWrangling · 14/08/2018 14:16

Don't forget it's getting cooler at night OP, if you go out to confront them. You might want to put on a Jersey.....

It's been happening for a while now, I can imagine that must be really gratin

SofieMonde · 14/08/2018 14:55

Give em a good salep on the face if you see em

SofieMonde · 14/08/2018 14:59

but then again you might not want to agitator them too much. You want to ask them why they are doing it, you don't wan't to be just spectators when they attack. Remember to (st)arch your back like a cat, that'll scar em

I bet that they belong to King Edwards.

This is a thread of genius.

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 14/08/2018 15:26

And after the vote, the "eyes" have it.

Should1stayorshould1go · 14/08/2018 15:28

You cant bury yourself underground because of this. Put up a sign saying you have eyes everywhere and will root them out eventually.

People can afford to fritter good spuds away? And if you report to 101 , they’ll think you’re talking a load of waffle.

Hope the perps get a-Rosti-d soon.

TheMonkeyMummy · 14/08/2018 15:42

Don't rösti anything...

swissie · 14/08/2018 15:47

Make sure to latke your door at night.

Andtheresaw · 14/08/2018 15:51

How odd. If they are aimed at the windows why haven't there been any breakages?
Are the potatoes cooked?
Could it be drunks on their way from a takeaway just throwing food around randomly, or is it actually whole raw potatoes?
