stranger photographing neighbour's car number plate


Recommended Posts

Could be any number of reasons


Cat sitting in a funny pose under the car

Or

Something amusing about the car that he wanted to capture

Or

Just liked the shape for a photo


Jumping to conclusions, whilst potentially correct, could also be wrong and without asking the photographer I guess its impossible to know the real reason but I guess speculation is all we have left 😉

Car is parked illegally

Car is not taxed or MOT'd

Car has amusing bumper sticker

Car is same as car previously owned by photographer

Photographer has Instagram account for boring cars (this exists)

Driver of car did something naughty

Photographer is very curious


Do I get a prize if I guess correctly?

Ok ,I've googled and apparently a ringer is a stolen car .The car being photographed is not stolen .Owned by neighbour for several years .


I think the idea is that the photographer has access to a (stolen, or to be stolen) car of that make, model and colour and plans to ring it using the photographed car's registration details. However that normally would be done (except in cases where the car itself is to be used in a criminal enterprise) in order to sell-on the ringed car - so normally a high-end and newish car would be chosen.

    • I do think that many social housing tenancies have terms written about flooring too.  They are often ignored but if you ask your local housing officer about that it could be worthwhile. I understand that you do not want to cause a fuss but if the noise from upstairs or nextdoor is unreasonable than you do not have to tolerate it.   The tenant next door might be a new tenant and it is worth their while to respect the regulations and be a good neighbour some people have just moved but have a secure tenancy. Others might be on a newer type of tenancy that is reviewed etc. My upstairs neighbours kids jump up and down from furniture onto the floor it is so freaking noisy and it gets on my last nerve but it is in usually done after 7am and before 9pm and some days it is quiet the noise is intermittent.  So at least I get a quiet night's sleep.   Which is a huge blessing.  To be fair we are not the quietest of homes either.  You are entitled to be able to have some peace in your home.  So don't allow others to ruin the enjoyment of having a lovely home.   Read the stuff in the Southwark website around environmental issues which I think explains reasonable noise etc.  If you don't follow it up it will never change.  Good luck 🤞 
    • I'll do an order from Lidl in Sydenham if you ask nicely 😁
    • I love Lidl, but that would be a rubbish site for it, and there is one a short bus ride away in Camberwell. Where I will be heading to get my Christmas lebkuchen ❤️
    • I’m due with my second child in January and have been reflecting that it’s a shame you don’t do NCT or Bump & Baby with your second. We have some wonderful friends we met at baby class that my daughter has known since she was born, and I’d love my second daughter to have the same. I can’t see that a winter babies whatsapp group has been started so if anyone would like to join one please drop me a DM and I’ll put one together (or let me know if one exists!) Kate x
