She did this, and while she was outside with him, another person went into her home and robbed her. She had no idea until they were gone! We live in a dangerous world now sadly. Can't trust those we do not know. Never ever open your door and invite a stranger into your home!
Thank God this turned out ok for them.. the next time might not.
Thank you for watching out for them, and alerting the police was the right thing to do.

Yes that is what we though...that maybe someone else would go around the back and try to get in and steal, i think it is called distraction burglary, I really did stress the seriousness of what she did. The trouble is these people are so believable - i mean even jumping over the fence to give the impression he did belong at the next door property. And as i have already said they just trust people and think they are genuine - hopefully not anymore though.
Your right it was ok this time.... I told them that next time they may not be that lucky.
