I heard my neighbours teenage daughters / their friends on the join of our shared second story roof last night. They were out there chatting. A sloped roof! I realised their parents must not be home so I texted to say one of them is on the roof, as I knew their mum would want to know, and I was concerned about their safety.
Then around 11pm I heard an object slide down the roof. I went outside to see two of them scaling down our side of the roof. I told them to get down, and they said they’d dropped their phone down the gutter and were trying to get it back. They quickly climbed back into their window. I messaged their mum again and said they’re now safe but had been climbing down the roof (I didn’t mention it was on our side).
neighbour hasn’t replied although it says she read my message at 2am. I know I did the right thing letting their mum know and telling them to get off but… also feel like such a snitch!
