AmourDesign Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Report what exactly ? Is it now illegal to walk up and down a road. ? Depends what they had in their van. There could be evidence of 'going equipped to steal' Also, they would take the registration and if a van was spotted in an actual crime then a white van would be on records.

blowfealt Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Hi Just a heads up if you live in the area. We arrived home to find a white transit van pulled opposite our house. 2 out of the 3 passengers were walking slowly looking down drives and at cars. My husband asked if they were alright, and they said they were meeting the owners of a car for sale on our front. Unbeknown to them it was our car and we said nothing had been arranged. This caught him off guard, they asked the price, which is clearly stated in the for sale sign. My husband said 'your not here for the car are you' they quickly scarpered but we forgot to take down the registration. This could be nothing, just an innocent strange incident, but thought it best to be observant and give people the heads up. Thanks How many cars do you have for sale?

monkey104 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Did they have a certain accent or was there anything distinctive about the van? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP "forgot" to note the registration number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biotechpete Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Report what exactly ? Is it now illegal to walk up and down a road. ? No, but let's say they were burglars or car thieves, and they were luckier on the next street. The police might be interested then. On the two occasions I've rung 101, the police actually came round, with blue lights, and on one occasion an armed response. Turns out there's a reason why they call it 'suspicious behaviour'.

dutch Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) We had a white van like that on our street last week and last night again. They gently tap on the front window, then tap gently on the passage sidedoor and then start snooping around the back door. Both times I got them at the back door and they say they are looking for someone and run away but this van goes on checking all the properties on the road to see if people are in. I got the license plate and reported it to 101. Gues we all have to be careful. Edited November 21, 2015 by dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
