Confronting an Intruder, Police Arrived With Dogs Too!

[@ljcl1859]

@@BlackTigr Yes, I thought that, especially when I saw he was driving a van.

[@Objective-Observer]

Because he was inebriated. Either he doesn't know where she lives, or he had no clue where he was: Ok Look! There is a little cottage! I think that's her place! How do I get to that? Where's the gate? Oh, just hop the fence. When folks are drunk, they don't think properly, and don't make the best decisions.

[@susanswanson4079]

Security guard here. Couple of suggestions: 1) call the police before you go outside to investigate(get your back up coming) 2) keep a distance between you and the person you're engaging. You don't want the person to suddenly be able to grab or stab you. 3) carry either mace/pepper spray/bear spray with you That way if the person charges you you can spray them and retreat into the house. Make sure whatever you decide to carry is legal in the U.K. 4) even if the person is a woman do not under estimate them treat them as if they were a man and keep your distance.

[@ChallieWallie]

You forget that this is the UK....mace? BEAR spray?! Non of those are legal and bear spray...seriously....there are no bears in the UK. Its also pretty normal to check what is happening before you call the police. Could be a wild animal, a drunk neighbor or anything non threatening. The police had more important things to do then make housevisits to anyone who heats or sees anything out of the ordinary.

[@ES11777]

Great advice! I got scared to see him go out to confront the creep with no self-defence gear. Men often think they “can handle it with bare hands” but what if the intruder had a knife/gun? Pepper spray is not just for women - it’s a brilliant, no-contact self-defence tactic.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Also, bring the dog on a leash just to look intimidating?

[@llchapman1234]

I suspect "Emily" and the flowers (which looked like they were ripped out of someone elses garden) was just a ruse. His vague responses triggered red flags. He was, as we say in the US, 'casing the joint' to see if you had anything worth stealing.

[@exeter1985]

The glaring issue for me would be that he was in your backyard (garden) instead of at your front door, ringing the doorbell like people normally do when they are calling on someone. If it was me looking for 'Emily' I would expect her to be (inside) her house waiting for me, not in the backyard (garden) where it's dark and I couldn't even see her if she was standing there. I have visited friends at their home countless times and not once did any of them ever say, "Meet me in my backyard (garden) in the dark. One further point, he was holding flowers that look like they were pulled out of the ground and still had the roots on them. Most people would have flowers in a vase or in wrapping paper to look presentable. Too many issues with his 'story' that don't make sense. I can see going to the wrong house, that's possible. However, most people don't go to the wrong house and climb over a wall. They go to the front door. Anyway, I'm glad that you are safe and nothing serious happened. I would certainly keep the plate number close by and watch things the next few days, and maybe share your experience with the neighbors in case he comes back.

[@exeter1985]

@Lamya65 It still doesn't explain this 'person' being in someone's backyard. I've gone to visit a lot of people, nobody has ever said, "Meet me in the backyard where it's dark." I go to the front door of the house and ring the bell and ask if the person lives at this house, or do they know if she lives next door? I certainly wouldn't be climbing over fences in the dark. Nothing that person did or said made any sense.

[@wrayewenigmann3696]

I'm a Grandma with 40 years experience cooking roast dinners. Good roasties need the right sort of potato, a hot oven and regular basting with th oil/fat. I start them off raw, round the meat in a generous roasting tin, then transfer them to a separate pan later when the meat comes out. Save some of the meat fat for the gravy. Alternatively, you can pre-boil the potatoes the night before if you prefer, cover them in oil/fat when drained and still hot and add a light dusting of Bisto powder. This will save you a bit of time and energy next day. As for the Yorkies, I actually find nowadays that I get good results with the Jamie Oliver recipe every time. I hope this helps!

Who knows what he was up to but the lesson to be learned here is not to put you or Sherpa in danger! I think the whole thing was suspect … why would he be checking out the shed?

So glad that you & Sherpa were not harmed. Hopefully this will never happen again but if it does: DO NOT GO OUTSIDE. Call the police immediately & let them handle it. Be safe.

[@joannemckinley2487]

That was scary! I'm glad you are okay, Jamie. I think he made the story up, and probably grabbed flowers from a nearby garden in case he was discovered and he could pretend he was looking for a girl. I'm glad you got the police involved. Sherpa snoozed through the whole thing. I'm just glad you are both okay.

[@tracyjacoby2382]

This was so frightening and I'm damned glad you and Sherpa are alright!🥺💓 He had no right to trespass and creep around, not cool at all!! Please be careful Jamie.😳💕

[@LilHouseakaKeithaPrairie]

Who looks for their girl in a shed? 🤔 He picked the wrong garden. I wouldn't want to mess with you, Jamie. You tangled with a horse. And won! 🐎 🥊 Checking on the neighbors. 🙌 😊 I'm so glad you have a great security set-up. A must these days. Stay safe. Happy weekend. 💙🤟

This is amazing, as the same thing happened to me this past Wednesday, unfortunately this guy broke into my tool shed, by prying of half the side, went into my garage, and pried a screen off one of my windows in an attempt to break in the house! He removed my mower and some other large items from the shed, but apparently was caught in the act and a neighbor chased him off. Unfortunately he wasn't caught. You're far more polite than I ever would have been, but I'm an American, so you know. Glad it worked out for you, but it is a scary feeling that I'm not quite over yet.

[@SherpasDay]

Oh wow hope you're ok. 😮

[@txrabbit]

@@SherpasDayThanks, I am but my shed isn't though, but it's reparable. I need a security system like your lights.

[@shalacarter6658]

I am so sorry this happened to you!

[@jayeclements6452]

Jamie, if there actually WAS an 'Emily' I will happily donate £50 to husky rescue. He wasn't looking for anything other than stuff in your shed or, potentially, 'casing the joint'. I adore how trusting you are. May I also suggest that you improve your exterior lighting so you don't have to rely on a torch!

[@elizabeth-em1ec]

Jamie, I don’t think I would of been that brave. 😊😊

[@starrcchild132]

I am glad you both are safe

[@lorrainegunn4111]

I have also heard that people go around looking for empty sheds, and houses to "POACH"; stay forever; and it is nearly impossible to remove them from YOUR PROPERTY, in the UK.

[@shalacarter6658]

California is having a terrible problem with this. ! Their laws do not allow the police to remove the squatters!

[@WhatTheFeather]

@@shalacarter6658 Sad. Honest people have to pay high rent but squatters live for free. The world is crazy.

[@AnthonyFurnival]

Squatting on private property has been tightened up a lot on in the UK - commercial property however isn’t covered by the same laws and that can cause nightmares.

[@patriot9575]

Smart getting a photo of his license. I would get an alarm that would go off, that will scare An intruder off. Jamie you were calmer than I would if been. Glad you and Sherpa were safe!

[@MerlinIslandCrabCoveRailway]

I would like to bet the reg number does not tie up with that vehicle. And it's got a new number on by now. These guys steal number plates and use them.

[@amyp.harvey2144]

Nah, I don't believe there was an Emily. People say anything to try to get into your property to try to steal something or maybe looking for a shelter for the night. I unfortunately had that happen to me twice and I live alone. It's scary as hell! Glad ur both OK!!

[@Rise876]

Scary! I'm so glad you and Sherpa are both safe!

[@BBGIRLAH]

Thank God your all okay

[@maureenpaul8991]

Jamie i am so glad that you and Sherpa are alright after facing that horrible intruder. The " Emily story" was just a ruse. That guy was definitely up to no good. Jamie knowing that you used to work in security i thought you would have been a little safer with contact with the intruder. In today world with all the mental health issues you can never let your gaurd down with people that you don't know. I hope that the police found the guy and arrested him for intrusion and driving under the influence of alcohol. So glad that you and Sherpa are alright. Love you both. Stay safe. Take care. ❤️ ❤🫂🫂😘😘🐺🧔

[@laurelwilkinson2594]

Not many intruders here in the US come armed with roses. My first suspicion is that he was under the influence. I hope the police did find him; at the least he shouldn't be driving. Anyway, two brave boys saw him off, and the neighbors are warned. I'm impressed with your courage, Jamie. Sherpa's, of course, is unquestioned.

[@jbvv-jbvideovision8601]

Could be testing if you have a security system or crashing into your shed. Never be that close to someone!! 7 meters minimum!!!

[@loria7043]

You handled that situation so beautifully. I was worried when I was watching the video but you had the situation in control. So glad you and Sherpie are safe.❤

[@veganvocalist4782]

no , he came with props , was drinking AND driving AFTER mid night , jumped your fence instead of coming through gate and ringing door bell and was casing your large shed for tools etc and he was ready with a van , everyone has mobile phones , she would have been expecting him if this long tale was true what kind of MAN ? turns up after mid night to a ladies home when she is not expecting him , that in it's self is suspect , if that is the truth , did he mean her harm ? If he wanted to find some one he would have known their address , described them to you and perfusely apologized , You are so incredibly sweet like my dear friend whom is just like you in this way . I am highly intuitive and KNOW when others mean harm or have bad intent . You stay safe brother and never question your gut feeling , it is rarely wrong . Much love Jamie n Sherps , I know he is gone but he is part of you , so I will always refer to both of you 🙏🏼💚

[@StaciA-ih9xo]

That was definitely scary & alarming! The guy's story of "Emily" and the flowers pulled from someone's garden are a little suspect. Also, jumping fences and creeping around your shed at midnight? I suppose anything is possible, but good to let the police handle it. Beefing up ur security too w/ motion sensor lights & locks at the summer house. Good thing for your camera & alarms! Be careful 🙏 Happy that you are both ok 😊🐾💕

[@jamesg8927]

Well handled got his face and car plate and peacefully moved him on. Sherp is elderly so not alarmed. We have a 90 lb bulldog mix. She is a great alarm and deterrent.

It shows you how you love Sherpa you didn't let him out in case he got hurt. You are so brave to have gone out on ya own Emily my eye. Take care
