As I mentioned yesterday, the house next door is up for sale. The owners have gone – upped sticks to Americal, and the house has been empty for a few weeks.
Last night, the neighbour from the *other* side came round; she had noticed from her garden that the conservatory door had been stove in, and wondered if we’d seen anything.
This is a bit alarming – that house has no access to the back garden other than through the house, and neither has hers. So the perpetrators either came through our garden, and climbed over, or through the garden next door to *her, and across hers and climbed over.
We saw the plod arrived at about 7, and waited patiently knowing they would arrive to look at our side of the fence. They talked to Julie, and they inspected the empty house – but they never arrived to talk to us. Which surprised us somewhat.
The plod who came to our house just took our word that the neightbours hadn’t seen anything. I guess they could of had a look for shoe prints in the neighbouring gardens though.
I wonder if they knew the house had been empty.
I’m sure they did know – there’s a for sale sign up, and there’s clearly nobody living there.
