I'd be worried that he was casing the joint. Hope you don't have the family silver on display.:eek:
Not trying to worry you, but be vigilant with security.
That has crossed my mind - it was my wife who let him in and paid him
We have locked double glazing and a second heavy wooden door in to the house - so they would struggle to break in !
As he left - he did grunt something about the door !0 -
I am worried now
Is it worth contacting the police/crimestoppers ?
There's no indication that your cold-caller was anything different to what he purported to be.
What do you think the police/crimestoppers could/would do?
The most would be a 'you need to take more care with your safety, sir'.
I hope your wife now realises that she's been very lax with your home safety and personal safety.0 -

My father always invited the JWs in and loved regaling them with the story of how my mother donated one of her kidneys to him."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0
