Man knocking on doors late Tuesday night asking for money

[KateS]

Chadwick Rd, about 22:40 05/06, had a very friendly man knock on my door saying he was a new neighbour of mine, so nice to meet me etc.

He was about to dive into his story about how he had parked his car somewhere and needed some money to get it out of the garage, but I stopped him short because I recognised him as having come to door with the same story around Christmas 2016. I really remembered the incident in 2016 and told him so, he had given a different house number that time, and it was a large number and I didn't think my street numbers went up that high. At first he said but how could that be me, I'm your new neighbour, but then sheepishly walked off.

Tried to phone 101 non-emergency police, but after 30mins of ringing I gave up and went to bed.

Then get all philosophical about how trust and help between neighbours is so important, and was angry that this guy was degrading that trust.
