He said taxi told him they wouldn't come without a physical address for a pickup. He knew our street name and said he would just be waiting out the front for his cab and was worried we might freak out if we saw him hanging around. He knew the street name and asked for our number. I told him it was on the letter box and that seeing as he asked us questions would he answer some of mine. Told me he had been at a mates place and had decided to walk home, got so far and thought "screw it, I'll call a cab". Reasonable as his stated destination is a good 8 or so kilometers from here. I said I had no objection to him waiting out on the footpath but my Mrs was uncomfortable and a little spooked.
A minute or two later she said he was standing in the middle of our front lawn. I went and had a look out the window just in time to see him take off at full bolt down the road and into a dead end street that leads to a footpath down the linear park thingo. Not seen him since.
No taxi has turned up looking for a fare. Makes me wonder. Just another druggie DH doing some sort of casing job or what? He never got a look into our place and would not have been able to see over our fences or gates.
It's not that I feel threatened by this, just wondering if I am missing something.
I had something similar with a lady pull into my driveway and said her car broke down and was meeting her husband at my address. 15 min earlier there was a motorbike out front of my driveway looking in for a few minutes and drove off. I told her to f..k off and she wouldnt leave my driveway so the constabulary certainly made them move...never knew their motive to this day but reckon they were casing the joint and/or trying to get me to open the door to the lady and the bloke from the motor bike would barge in after.
