Better safe than sorry though.

Call the Police Lockes. It's not even late, it's almost early. What business do they have knocking on your door? None. Stay safe and call the cavalry.

I understand completely what you're saying and fully understand the OP's concerns but ...................when you say 'what business do they have' etc. ...........whatever happened to neighbourliness? I suppose it all depends on where you live etc.
I fully understand why a woman in on her own is frightened but ............ at the same time - it's a sad state of affairs when we mistrust and therefore wont help anyone isn't it?

It's disturbing that he was looking through your window before knocking, why knock on a woman's door at 1am to help push a car?
Oh this doesn't seem right to me. I seriously hope you've called the police by now. Hope things are ok Lockes.quote:Originally posted by fz:quote:Originally posted by Soozy woo:quote:Originally posted by cologne1:

I'm in London....I'd not expect a stranger to knock on my door at this time....it wouldnt get opened anyway. Maybe they are tourists and not used to our 'friendly' ways.

I live in a village ..........whilst I'd be on my guard ...........I don't think I'd second guess it for a minute. Then again I can be naive.
I live in a dead end and I wouldn't dream of it!I had a freind from London stay with me for a while and he came back from the shops proper shocked that the shopkeeper had tried to strike up a friendly conversation with himquote:I'm in London....I'd not expect a stranger to knock on my door at this time....it wouldnt get opened anyway.

Yep....most of them grunt if you're lucky, unless you've known them for years....can't blame them. they're probably sick of serving people all day who dont say please, thank you or kiss my arse. Same on buses, tubes, trains....but I love every inch of old London Tahn.

There is a lesson to be learned here--- Do not open the door to anyone you don't know till you find out who they are and what they want.... to be honest if the dog hadnt started barking I wouldnt have even known he was in the garden (ex just watching them now they are still outside)quote:Originally posted by Lockes no 1 fan:

I'd think 'oh great, I've got the nutter.'...sorry madge I'm sure you're lovely.quote:Originally posted by CaptVimes:
You did the right thing, still very dodgy that 2 blokes should ask a woman to help push their car. I take it they didnt knock on anyone elses door. Also the whole peering through the window and standing in the garden thing, not right. I am sure the Police will say the same.
Edit 3 in the car bliddy heck hope the police come before they go.
You can call emergency breakdown even without membership OK they charge more but thats the way it goes.
