Ok , so this is the situation. The area I live in is part of a brand new estate with some properties still being built. Just lately there has been a spate of cold-callers supposedly selling all sorts, and asking questions from like "do you own your home?" "do you have a dog?" Or "Is that a Dog I hear" "when are you likely to be in, so I can call again" that sort of stuff.
The Police have been called onto the estate attempting to speak to these people but have so far not managed to find them.
Houses have been marked for burgulary and indeed some have had break-ins and attempted break ins.
Incidently my house has been "marked " for a while and I've left the markings up,because they seem to be indicating that the home is "alarmed and too risky" and indeed we've so far not received these callers like my neighbours.
Some of us are wondering if it would be a peace of mind to have a security company patrol the estate and we could all "chip in"
How does this idea stand in legal terms, is it going to be welcomed by the police most likely?
I just wanted to get some other perspectives on this idea, and I don't want to be the one footing the entire bill if neighbours say they will contribute but then don't.
As you can tell this is new territory for me, not my usual area of expertise whatsoever!
