For the past few months we (ourselves and neighbours) have been having a bit of bother from some young kids who live in the next street. They have been throwing stones/mud at windows and shouting things through letterboxes and throwing things in the gardens. Next door lives a lovely elderly lady who takes great pride in her garden and is also being frightened by the window stones etc.
So we all got together, compared notes and agreed that if one more thing happened, we would report it as anti-social behaviour to the police.
A couple of days later DP was messing around in the garden with a paper aeroplane and it flew into next door neighbours garden. He and the DC's ran in doors laughing and giggling after all the trouble we have had, I said he should go around and admit that it was him and it was an accident and apologise. So he went around reluctantly.
Now the story I get from here is that he went around to admit it but when she opened the door she said "oh I'm glad you've come around, someone threw a take-away leaflet in my garden yesterday and I think its time to report it. DP went into her house, saw the offending "plane" on her kitchen table and agreed with her that it was disgusting and that something needed to be done!!! They then rallied the other neighbours and are planning on reporting it to the police.
DP says he can't possibly come clean now and we may as well leave her to it.
AIBU to think he should still come clean? Apparantly she had tears in her eyes as she told him she couldn't understand why she was being victimised!
