Issues on ADM

Post by AVO »

Morning,

Has anyone else had their doorbell rung during the day only to find no one there? I have just heard that the thieves are rining doorbells to check if anyone is in and then trying to get into the villas through open doors/windows.

If so are the GNR aware? I know a report has been filed in CVO but wondered if anyone else has had the same problem.

TY

We've been out here for about a month, and haven't experienced this yet. Some guy did come through the gate and up the drive last week, pretending to be collecting for charity. He soon scarpered when I let the dog out!!

We probably had the same " charity " collector.

If you keep your gate closed they must not enter your property without an invitation.

We just look out to see who it is and if we do not recognised, just ignore them.

He was definitely up to something, so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Ringing the door bell is a common way for thieves to check if house is empty. Happens especially in apartment blocks which do get hit.

If it was the scally I chased last year he was about 35, slim, dark hair latin looking, I know that would possibly mean suspectimg 50% of the population,but it's a chance, he was the guy who I suggested tied his bike to the lampost on the island opposite the town houses, keep your eyes open for the bike. 8)

I've been back in the UK for the last week Pato, got back to ADM yesterday. I'll let you know if I see anything suspicious.
