A friend of mine seems to be getting stalked by someone, sitting up the bottom of their drive, reversing up & down the drive, disappearing then back 20 minutes later. They've have just moved & are bit concerned. They have the car model and registration as the person is making it obvious what they're upto - is there anyway of checking who owns the car other than alerting the police?

I'd ring the Police.

It could be that they're looking for the previous owner.

- or contact the previous owner to ask if it's anyone that they know.

Tell them there's an ex Talisman security guard who might be able to help them? wink

Yeah, phone the cops, if they're slow tell them you spotted the people in the car not wearing seatbelts.... wink

What has SF got to do with it?

pretty much every police car in scotland starts with sf on the reg.


I crapped myself when I saw a black 5 series race up behind me with sf reg but turned out to be a family in it so not all sf cars are police cars.

SF plates are not just police.
My wife's is SF and never been used by the police. I'm sure i read somewhere that SF plates are Edinburgh registered.

Aberdeen police are SV, oddly enough for Aberdeen registered cars... hehe

Surely it's just wherever the cars registered to for that area?

It is possible to make an application to the DVLA on their form and paying their fee to enquire who the Registered Keeper of car is for specific purposes. I would suggest the reason is possible civil proceedings for a non harassment order and interdict.

May take a week or so t get info, but says only who the keeper is which could be different from the owner or driver.

Personally, i would call the police and have them stopped or cause their car to be 'blocked' and ask them politely and calmly who they are and what they are doing, whilst filming them! Preferably with big Andy taking the pics! Remember there are quite a few cops on the Scotland forum, so possibly a full reg number and description, could possibly see some enquiry made!!!

I think it's inform the police, in lieu of the Talisman guard!! Vehicle has a private registration & not SF.

Thanks

Go out and ask them? If they make a run for it, then there is something suspicious going on so phone the police. If they don't, then ask them WTF they are doing?
Might be a private detective with the wrong house!
