He was at our house (with more ants...) this morning [Wed 8th] - called himself Stephan - looked exactly as in photo. We said no to his ants (surprise surprise) and then he said he wanted to ask us a favour. I started to say no, and then he asked us to phone his sister - but flounced off before we'd even talked about it.
I saw him again at lunch time - crossing over diagonally from the bottle store corner and heading south along Lower Main. Calling the cops didn't occur to me - though he'd probably have been long gone through the subway if we had. He's very recognisable so there'll probably be another chance. Biddy.
