Woman looking a little worse for wear
Strange request mate do you have a bit of tinfoil mate
We are all stood at the door by now me Mrs and youngun
Yeah it's for the sandwiches repeats it's a strange request
she looks shocked when my Mrs gives her enough to wrap sandwiches
Yeah I know it's a strange request
She states she's from 4 doors down which is unlikely as a copper lives there then bends down and starts folding it on the front step
Spider senses now tingling
Wobbles back to her car which stays parked outside our house before driving off
Piqued my interest so I jumps in pickup and followed the car to where it's parked up round the corner centre of the lane with smoke coming out the windows
What would westwood do
Drug squad. I really wouldn’t want to see someone high on smack driving a tonne of metal around at unpredictable speeds
Well I wouldn't serve her again, that's for sure.
He'd post on a forum asking what to do.
Should've have given her a bit of clingfilm for her sandwich. That would have done the job.

You honestly followed her !!!!! Thats the only weird thing about this scenario.
I would have made her some salmon (red, not pink) sandwiches. Then proceeded to cut off the crusts. All washed down with a nice cup of tea. Or should that be a cup of nice tea?

yah ....now I feel bad
call police report people taking drugs in control of a car, what would you do if somebody wanted a bottle opener to get pissed in their car?
Maybe she was preparing ham for the sandwiches by smoking it?

Nevermnd all that; pick-up, following criminals... You are in fact the Fall Guy!
I claim my five pounds...
Maybe, she was just a tin foil hat heroine.
Wow, that’s a complicated explanation for the jury on why the woman was seen at your door briefly, then is found a short time later near your house heating up heroin on tin foil that has your wife’s finger prints on it.
(Oh and I wouldn’t have given her tinfoil because it’s a bizarre request from a stranger, and I know all the neighbours. I would have called the police (999) as soon as she got in the drivers seat - seemingly worse for wear. I may have called 101 before that for suspicious person knocking on doors - distraction theft?)

Cynical head. She was probably casing the house to rob it and came up with a stupid question when someone answered the door

Good on her for carrying on the act all the way back to the car!!
What poly said ^^^
Interview room after woman is found dead...
So, your pick-up was seen on cctv following her vehicle, how do you explain that sir?
She was seen at your house earlier in the night, can tell us why sir?
Your wife's fingerprints, etc., etc..
Randomly stopped by for something to wrap sandwiches you say sir, is that a regular occurrence at your house? Total strangers making unusual requests?
I think westwood would get a good lawyer.
Police came round car reg known to them
Did say phoning 999 would probably not have helped as we don't have a local station anymore
Turns out lad and his brother living in house on our road are dealers.
Edit Mrs just told me it's two doors down where theyre gran used to live....ive never even seen them
Spider senses now tingling
No offence, but you're no Poirot are you? 🤣

That's the point for you to worry about.
Our old neighbours were/are still a lovely, semi-retired couple, their eldest daughter (actually about my age) periodically lived there, had blazing rows and moved out again... Long story short, one day she knocked the door to borrow a tenner to "pay for a taxi" and the missus went and gave it to her. Oddly enough the taxi was a blacked out beemer and didn't seem to be a registered private hire vehicle...
She was clearly at the desperate end of the scale, and it was extremely difficult for her family to cope with/help her effectively. But when there's dealer's and other scum rolling up outside your own home, and you're being tapped up to help fund a habit, my advice is to report anything and everything suspicious. There are worse things than being considered a bit of a curtain twitcher...
For all you know she might have been eager to steam some trout..... Even manky druggies need to eat
Police came round car reg known to them
So have they "foiled" the crime?

Yep, its a wrap.

it was just ****ing bizarre i didn't know where the tinfoil was kept in the house
And yet, if there wasn’t the pointless ‘war on drugs’ and social responsibility accepted by those in power, there’s every likelihood she would be a fully functioning or stabilised addict and whatever police we have left to utilise their resources in more productive ways.
Dr John Marks prescription programme in Merseyside in the 1980’s/90’s being a particularly poignant example.

Spat my coffee out at thought of mick as the fall guy! I'm surprised you didn't offer to make her something better and more durable out of titanium sheet 🙂
Top Chef, surely?
Where is this Manchester or London?
One of my neighbours knocked on my door late at night once. Wanted to borrow sone duct tape. Turned out he liked to tape his boyfriend to the kitchen table then...................... I didn't feel the need to follow to see what they were up to.
Never did get my tape back and it was nearly a full roll 🙁🙁
I would pop round later and ask for something random for your mountain bike. She can return the favour.
Glad this thread made me laugh...... had a moment of 'Oh no!'
So two doors down you have a pair of dealers and four doors down a copper!?

story got a shedload better after some folks identified who they all were

I'd say from the accent south London.

When I lived in North London, we had a dealer two doors up. My car used to get done over relatively regularly by their clients, but anything serious went missing you could go and speak to Neville, and he'd get it back for you pretty sharpish. Practically a public service.
I've seen the local smack heads neck their methadone in front of a cop & get in the car & drive off. Seen em stopped by the cops on telly when they're obviously off their heads . & the cops let em on their merry way. One of the local grasses drove his beemer without a licence too. He'd be so wasted that he fell asleep in the car in the car park 🙄. One law for them & all that.
