Suspicious Behaviour (chalk mark on house)

[mrsparker]

So this morning a neighbour alerted my husband to the fact that last night a man (don't have a description) came up to our house and left a chalk mark on the exterior and thinks it was done to a couple of other properties in the street. Possibly some scumbag scouting for houses to break into (they will be sorely disappointed by the cracked iPad and 15 year old telly and angry cat if they do!)

Neighbour has reported it to the police and I'm currently waiting for 101 to answer so that I can report it too. Might be worth checking your exteriors.

Might be useful (later) as evidence to take a photograph of the mark.

Then wash it off.

Does anyone in your household own a motorcycle?

Chalk markings being frequently used when looking for the next theft target.

Thanks for the heads up, no, we don't have a motorbike or push bike for that matter. Odd, and there's nothing of worth in the front other than some quite nice window boxes full of very unhappy sun scorched plants. Due to the recent thefts of garden paraphernalia I'm going to put them round the back for now. Don't want to encourage the bastards.
