I drove down a private road today with a mate. Now bear in mind this is at night at 0:30, at the end of this road are about 12 houses, its all in the "uber rich" part of plymouth aka leghiam manor drive. The reason i did this is parents are interested in a house for sale there, and ive been so busy i havent had a chance to view it in the day. I couldnt find said house, or atleast couldnt find a for sale sign. http://www.homesandproperty.co.uk/sales/1388834
Anyway we come back to the entrance to the estate to find some guy getting into his silver X5 outside is house, who turns his headlights, foglights, driving lights and full beams on, drives OVER his garden, which is covered in peugeot 205's, and straight at us. Then he stops, sits there, moves over. At this point we drive on, he follows us, all the way down this road which is now a public road, past a caravan holiday park, out to marsh mills then up a hill, for anyone who knows the area, he followed us round the bmw garage roundabout twice in a circle then up the hill past it. He finally blocks my car off, gets out, mate gets out to get the reg plate of the X5 as hes on the phone to the police.
Anyway he comes over to my window and says "what the **** are you doing on MY estate". I ask him what he means, and he apparently owns one of the houses, so doesnt own the estate at all. I tell him the nature of my business and he tells me im "not allowed there or anywhere near there". Now i pay road tax, so ill go where I like thankyou.
Now i can see where hes coming from, he could have got out of his house and came over and asked what we were upto, but whats with the intimidation with his X5 ? Why was he flashing us all the way through marsh mills, why didnt he just do what he wanted to do right then ?
He told me he was on the phone to the police but he wasnt, and i wasnt breaking the law anyway.
And what is he doing out in his car at that time anyway ? How can you live on an estate where someone chases your visitors down and shouts at them and threatens them ?
I gather he is some kind of neighbour hood watch busybody but ive never come across such a threatening intimidating guy in my life in that scenario, who gave my mate a wide berth when he got out to get the number plate tags, I am still shocked ?!?!?
I am considering going to see him at his house tommorow to try and get an explanation of his behaviour ? OR should i keep a low profile ? He wrote my reg down and told me that if I am seen again there will be trouble, but I am not overly sure where he means, does this mean blanket Plymouth or just near his house ?
