On Saturday afternoon I took the opportunity to tidy up the garden in anticipation of the slow arrival of spring. There was quite a bit of dead stuff which I disposed of and I got rid of the weeds too. I've never been able to work out why weeds grow quicker than the garden plants but anyway, they've been pulled up. The garden looked very tidy.
When I got up early yesterday morning I noticed that an intruder had been in the garden and left footprints on the newly smoothed soil and had also caused some other damage. I have had this problem a couple of times in the past when my garden was used as an 'escape route' by a teenager round the corner when he wanted to get out without his mother knowing. He had to get over several walls before jumping off a six foot high fence onto my garden and then he had to scale yet another six foot trellis (which he broke along the top) in an effort to get out onto the street. I thought he was up to his tricks again so I rang the police and reported it and asked them to get one of our local team of PCSO's to call in to see me either yesterday if they were working, or today.
This morning, I discovered one of my neighbours around the corner had been burgled on Saturday night while she was staying at her mother's and whoever was responsible had broken in through the back. I contacted the police again this afternoon to say that nobody had been in touch with me yet and that I also had some more information that may prove useful with regards to the burglary. I'm still waiting for someone to get in touch with me but I'm beginning to wonder why I bother.
