I seriously doubt that if the OP called 101 / the police, that it would be revealed who called. Far as I'm aware: they don't reveal - for that very reason.

Yes. I posted this to get input from as many peoples as possible, and for it to be discussed.

we both know what you do!
you take what someone says and turn into you asking the poster questions on another situation playing the moral card.
stop asking me to explain my self to you.

It is an awkward one - but ultimately - you do what YOU feel is right for you - for your reasons. If that makes sense. You certainly don't have to answer to any of us on here; it's like everything else: we can only put over our thoughts: when we are actually FACED with something like this in real life, as you are: we may react differently.

I have just been past again, and it seems they are back home now, so I don't need to do anything, as there is someone there. Hopefully it was just an argument, and all is ok. Either way, they are in a position to deal with it themselves now.

Thanks for all your advice.

We don't have 101 as far as I know, so I would just call the local police station anonymously and let them deal with whatevers happened, don't call the emergency number though.

edit - just noticed the last post.

[Niall]

Go back to my flat and phone the police there. I'd rather be anonymous if phoning the police would affront these people.

All sorted - and at least it sort of kept your mind off things during it all.

No doubt you'll be seeing them treking in with new lamps and vases soon. .....

well, if it's already been burgled then reporting it now or the owners reporting it when they find it, isn't going to make a whole lot of difference. If you actually witnessed it taking place then maybe it would but not now it's happened already.

Edit, just read your last post

One of the factors of my concern, was that the property might not be secure in that case. If left in such state, it could be left open to further theft, or vandalism, for example.

TBH. I'd have someone like you as a neighbour in a flash.... I'm so lucky that I do actually have the vast majority of immediate neighbours who are like that, and I far prefer it. Feel far safer than the ones who all 'keep themselves to themselves' and don't 'look out for one another'.

Especially when there is so much crime/drugs etc these days.

Having had my house broken into once (along with one of my neighbours) : it's not something I want to experience again; me and my neighbours were gutted - oen of the reasons we all keep an eye out now.
