Odd Or Not?
17 Answers
Yesterday a guy knocked my door wanting to know if I was interested in having my block paving cleaned.
Today I have had another guy doing the same. He also wanted to know the time, he surely has a phone or clock in his van.
They were both Irish and drove vehicles with Eire number plates. Apologies to the Irish posters but these are the facts.
I noticed that no other neighbours were visited. I feel like I'm being staked out.
Am I being paranoid? I think I probably am but it just seems odd.

If you have reg no, I would report it to 101, just so it is noted. I'd also have a quiet word with the neighbours. Perhaps also put a big sign up saying "danger, rabid chickens/killer bees present".
Only other thing I can suggest is check outside your house to see if there are any paint/chalk markings (this is sometimes used as a code to accomplices)

no I think it is odd
and yeah I agree with the distraction robbery bit
and chalk marks
there is a report that the pattern on the driveway was a woven into the design and the householder thereafter didnt get a moments peace
I had an ex con tenant buy a carpet and his pals came to fit it at my house (!). when I said wrong house one was up the stairs like a rat up a drain pipe with 'can I use your lavatory?'
I said - "you are freaking me out - if you dont leave I will call the police"
so yeah or no I dont think ou are being paranoid
( ex tenant is not an ex-con and is back in prison)
