Suspicious caller at the door

[Kate!]

So about an hour ago we had a suspicious caller at the door. I didn't open it, just looked through the peephole and asked who it was. Youngish guy wearing dark clothing including a hat pulled down low and facing away from the door. He said was I the householder and I said no, what do you want? He said oh no no it doesn't matter, I'm just in the area fitting security systems, and then he scuttled off really fast. I reported it. It was extremely suspicious.

Unless you're expecting someone don't open the door. It could be thieves. It does look very suspicious.

[Kate!]

We never open the door to random calls.

Yes, it's the best way.

It's the best way , robbers & criminals are trying all sorts these days. What's worrying....some are even trying to blow torch door handles off ,but thankfully most modern doors block them from succeeding.

I have a big 'beware of the dog' sign on my gates with a bell and that's where people ring from. If they ignore the sign and come inside I send the dog out to meet them. We're in the middle of the countryside and my OH is sometimes away and for the last 5 or 6 years I've been very cautious of anyone coming here uninvited.

I am terrible - my front door is always unlocked if I'm home (unless I'm in bed) - my friends will just walk in. I do have a chime on the door when it opens but I am a little bit rubbish with security. I hear horror stories and think I should get better but I always just shut it too and forget to lock it. I always answer it if someone knocks too - I'm too nosey not to :laugh:

I never lock mine either except when i go to bed, if Luke comes home after we go to bed most of the time he forgets to lock the door :laugh: The dog would go mental though if someone she didn't know came into the house so we have that alarm :laugh:

What if she’d opened the door and they’d stolen Kate! We’d never finish the music game. :worry:

…I think if anyone here had kept or had any recent contact with him, it may be Caitlin…but I don’t know if they keep in touch tbh…

Must ask her sometime, I miss Smithy

[Niamh.]

It was his new roommate iirc, he'd just moved to Manchester (I think)

[Ammi]

…I don’t really know that we knew the full details but this is what it was…

‘my flatmate ended up being a psychopath held me hostage this morning and I had to call the police.’

[Ammi]

…I mean, in the middle of the quiz as well…we’d almost held him hostage to agree to run it and then….again…what bad luck, poor Smithy…

Awful, that’s not you want from a flatmate.

[Ammi]

…or a pub quiz, tbh…
