After my daughter told me what she had seen (which she did so right away) I went outside instantly trying to see if I could spot anyone wondering around my street, but I didn't see anyone suggesting that the guy had either run off or went hiding somewhere after he saw my daughter. So in response to those comments that say I should've contacted 101, there really was no point in calling the police when the person had disappeared and no damage has been caused to my property. I've been in the same street in the same house for the last 25years and I've never heard or seen someone from my neighbors being burgled, but now due to the recent change in economy and budget cut, crime seems to have increased. But the purpose of putting this recent event on the forum, was to let my community know what is going on in our surrounding area which is the whole point of this gossip page!!!!
