Are you friendly with neighbours with security cameras?

Yesterday a car drove up and back down my court and stopped outside my front gate, would the window down and took a photo (from what I could see). He then realised I was there and left. Not feeling overly safe, didnât get numberplate so calling cops would be useless?

Got them on my camera but just didnât get the plate (they were trying to stay out of range methinks). Will realign a camera.

The neighbours mightâve caught them. You could do a letter drop in the court saying someone was taking photos from their car on DATE and TIME.

Unfortunately even if you did get a plate, the cops canât do much anyways. Unless he was in your driveway or otherwise on your property, itâs not illegal to drive down a dead end street. And although creepy, itâs not illegal to take photos of people on private property if youâre doing so from public property unless they have âa reasonable expectation of privacyâ, or peopleâs houses

I get that but the fact that they took off when they saw me - thatâs dodgy af. Fortunately my big dog was barking from the house, hopefully a deterrent if itâs casing for a break in.

Not good. Do you have cctv? Might still be worth reporting. The photo (?) sounds like might be casing the joint for robbery of tools/generator/copper piping etc. Which is a thing thatâs increasing.
