nellie Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) 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.

Otto2 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) 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...

alice Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) You do know the police have investigated and said it definitely was the British Gas worker investigating reported leaks. maybe you could change your title.

The fact that SOMEONE matching this description is pukka doesn't mean ANYONE matching it is. And do they carry photo id?

Happyme5 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) 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.
