Yep, this photo is the guy I let in last December but he is fatter now! See below the warning I sent out at the time:
I was conned yesterday when someone came to the door wanting to borrow an extension lead and I let him in! The story was that he was working in an adjoining garden and their lead was not long enough. It dawned on me that he was dodgy when he tried to go from room to room to find the best place to plug in! He was much bigger and younger than me but when I picked up my Obs NHW 2-way radio he departed fast. Lessons Learned * Professional conmen can be very convincing - that's the way they make a good living! * Dogs are a great deterrent. This fellow was very worried when he saw our large dog basket but Lucy was out, being exercised. * 5:30pm to 7pm is a dangerous time because thieves know we are tired and off our guard. We had an armed break-in at this time some 4 years ago (not in Obs). * NEVER, EVER let someone you don't know into your house. We were lucky, we did not loose anything - but maybe, as my wife said, he did not see anything worth stealing! On the other hand, maybe he was "Casing the Joint" - so we are on our guard.
