Just after 11 this morning a teenage lad (about 15 or 16) knocked on my door saying he had lost his cat and asked me if I'd seen it at all. Being a cat lover I felt sorry for him and said I'd keep an eye out. He told me the cat was called Milo and showed me a picture. I took a photo of his flyer and have attached it here. I asked him if he'd reported it missing here on the EDF and whether it was microchipped. He said yes to both.

30 seconds after he'd left I had a 2nd glance at the picture which reports a missing cat called Daisy and then realised something felt wrong. I went outside in to my road and found him lurking behind a van with 2 friends. I approached him and asked him the name of the cat, he replied Milo. I then asked why the photo mentions a cat called Daisy. They looked very sheepish and he said he got his friend to make the flyer and he'd messed it up. I called them out as bulls***ers and said if I saw them near my property again I'd contact the police. I videoed this exchange and have the faces of all 3 lads. I will not be posting it on here for obvious reasons.

Needless to say there is no missing cat on here called Daisy or Milo and the number to contact on the flyer is not recognised. My guess is they are scoping houses to see if people are in or away on holiday. I also have a motorbike in my front garden which could be a factor.

Is this worth contacting the police about?

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
