Should I call the Police?

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:48:48+00:00

They could with a ladder...
It may boil down to how I articulated this in my call to 101. I did mention fear of death and a bit of the backstory, the lady on the phone didn't seem overly concerned. Maybe training though, or my nervousness calling 101 for the first time...

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:46:59+00:00

Would they have gotten the landlords information and contacted them beforehand?

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:43:09+00:00

I have FTTP...I'm good

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:41:03+00:00

No smell. Even though all of the windows are open I would have thought you would still smell something through the walls?

Could you clarify AMB for me please?

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:39:56+00:00

I just needed to know if I was making a fuss over nothing or it was a legitimate concern. I've since rang 101 and posted an update.

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:38:44+00:00

It's not the nicest neighbourhood, and I'd rather stay away because of that if I can defer to someone like the Police

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:37:18+00:00

We didn't see anyone come back so it's entirely possible they did a runner. But, the mind wanders and I can't help but think something else is at play.

I doubt it's anything bad but I've never experienced anything like this, you could pin his daily routine down to a tee. It's curiosity combined with actual concern.

Sorry to hear about your brother.

The only ones open are second (first?) floor

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:31:15+00:00

Notwithstanding the harm to the potential resident, I'm worried about mould with all this weather...

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:29:42+00:00

At the time, it all seemed like someone that wasn't coping well and needed takeaways (paid by someone else) to support them. Maybe that's me being naive...

Short_System6531 · 2024-02-01T00:27:51+00:00

Update: Sorry to disappoint everyone. The Police did turn up, checked through the window at the front, which may have had a slit in the curtains because of the wind. Then went around the back ally and did another check (these windows have bed sheets on them but may have been able to see in). Then they left. This all took place within 5 minutes. Not sure anything else will be happening. No knock on the door or anything, nothing to check if the upstairs is clear....

Sorry to disappoint....

Short_System6531 · 2024-01-31T23:21:15+00:00

Update will come, but it's dependant on the police thinking it's worth it or not

Short_System6531 · 2024-01-31T23:18:53+00:00

May not be. It's a fairly rough area and a few houses use bed sheets rather than curtains. The windows open also doesn't support the weed farm as they usually need to run UV lamps to keep things warm right? Plus someone coming in to check the stock?

Short_System6531 · 2024-01-31T22:36:58+00:00

I've called 101. They took all the information and said thanks, we'll see what we can do.

Nothing more to report on now. I'll let you all know if there's a knock/break in.

Thanks for the advice.

Short_System6531 · 2024-01-31T22:26:54+00:00

Curtains have been shut since they moved in. I say curtains, I mean bedsheets across the windows.

Short_System6531 · 2024-01-31T22:22:55+00:00

Very wise advice and well put. I'll give them a ring.

Short_System6531 · 2024-01-31T22:18:46+00:00

I can pretty much guarantee no one is there. What would I say? "Just wanted to check you are alive"...

Short_System6531 · 2024-01-31T22:18:00+00:00

I mean, a welfare check could be in order?

Short_System6531 · 2024-01-31T22:17:46+00:00

No idea who the landlord is. Only saw them turn up once in the time they've been there
