A little incident from early this week. Been puzzling over this all morning now but can't work it out.
Wednesday evening the doorbell rang. Two police offices asking to speak to Mrs X. I recognise the name but have to think. Its the woman we bought the house from two and a half years ago. I think she moved up north to the stoke area (we're in the Cotswolds). They look surprised but go away without any further Qs.
Yesterday lunchtime the doorbell goes again. A polite, elderly, well-spoken gentleman asks for Mrs X. Conversation was something like
Me: You're the second person in two days to ask for her.
Well-Spoken man: Yes, I know the police came round. I'm just following it up. She gave two address. No. 12 [thats us] and No. 17 [which doesn't exist].
Me: When was this? Recently?
Man: Yesterday.
Me: (worried): You're not a bailiff are you?
Man: No, no nothing like that. It confidential but its not illegal or anything.
Me: And this won't affect our credit rating?
Man [exasperated tone - towards Mrs X]: No, I doubt you'll hear any more about it.
So, what could it be???? Police involved but not illegal and something you would give an old address for (rather than a false one).
Best idea wins a FallOutBoy radioactive medal!
