I'm looking for a Mr Williams?

[anonymous-user]

Just had a chap knock at the door asking for a Mr Williams, very polite almost apologetic with a soft irish accent. After confirming I don't know a Mr Williams he says he will call on the other neighbours but in fact gets into a blue 64 plate Audi TT and is driven away by the driver.

Seems suspect to me so am I right to be concerned? I did make a note of the vehicle reg so is it worth a call to 101?

Thanks.

Sounds like a distraction burgulary attempt then?

Keys, wallet, phone, etc are kept well away from door and definitely out of sight, my 2005 Audi S4 was on the drive.

i thought they steal newer cars, not old cars anymore.

We get this at work sometimes.

They are usually just dirty lying thieving gypsies making excuses to come in the workshop and ask for Mr Smith.

It's just so they can walk in and see if there is anything to steal.

The excuses range from asking for a random name such as Mr Smith or Mr Brown or asking if they can 'borrow a spanner for a couple of minutes to fix their car'.

They are firmly told to leave.

And the reg didn't, plate belongs to a white c-class merc not a blue tt.

Scumbags!

Is this worthy of two separate threads on PH?

The second thread was to let people who might be living near where this happened know these people are around. If someone heard or experienced anything near me I would appreciate the heads up rather counting the number of threads.

UPDATE.

Apparently this turned into a mini crime wave across 2 counties with at least 2 burglaries, 2 stolen cars plus a police chase, damaged police cars and a decamp. Not sure if they caught anyone.
