On recent nights a man wearing a hi-viz jacket and head lamp has been spotted  approaching several properties after midnight on Overhill Road and acting suspiciously. 

Our door camera shows him doing something around the area of our front door lock. He didn’t ring the bell or put anything through the letterbox, so hard to believe he was doing anything legitimate. 

update: Apparently could have been a British Gas worker investigating leak, although still seems a bit odd.

There are Thames Water people who are dressed exactly like that who make late night visits to ascertain whether leaks detected on their network are from your property - I think they visit when it is unlikely you will be using water. We had such a thing on our road. Of course, it could also be something entirely different -- perhaps next time look to see if there is a Thames Water truck associated with them on the street at the same time...

Hey I don't care if this has been so called investigated

Agree. The fact that  SOMEONE matching this description is pukka doesn't mean ANYONE matching it is.

And do they carry photo id?

Great stuff but we should all be grateful to our good neighbours looking out for and sharing any concerns.  That is what good neighbours do, And although we are happy to hear that this concern seems to be explained I would want to support anyone sharing any concerns. As it could make us all safer.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
