[roadman]

not seen my neighbour in a couple of months there bin hasn't moved and neither has their car and the grass isn't mowen and usually they keep on top of it bit worried about him but shall I contact the police

youd think friends or family or work would have filed something about them being missing im worried he lives alone and maybe had a fall or something

[wolf63]

The Police will check it out for you.

[davebro]

have you knocked their door?

[Hopkirk]

Do you know him to speak to? Perhaps tap on the door and check he is OK.

[anneasquith]

Why don’t you do ‘ something ‘ ?

[brainiac]

Er, have you knocked on his door?

[Canary42]

Yes, contact the police (or investigate further yourself), it's obvious something is amiss.

I'd think friends or family or work or neighbours would have . . . . .

[roadman]

I do not know him and I don't need to knock on his door the face his black bin or hasn't moved in over 6 weeks is enough to tell me i'll get no answer to the door

shall i contact the police for this man i guess maybe he has no work or family friends

[roadman]

or car that should say

[roadman]

the man had a dog ive not seen or heard small thing he also had a lady who lived there but i have not seen her in about a year i did wonder if she got covid and passed away or if she moved back home to be with family she was not from my country after the lady hant been seen I still saw the man now and again usually cutting grass or taking out bins or hanging laundry but not for a long time now ive not seen any kind of activity in or around the house

[THECORBYLOON]

Contact the police to say you're concerned.

If they visit and he's fine, there's no harm done, is there?

[roadman]

I wanted to contact them online but i dont want to file missings person and it didnt seem another way to inform them other to ring i guess i will have to call i just want to report the situation i dont want to be involved

[chelle7272]

If you ring them and report it they will check it out when they can and follow up where needed. You don't need to be any more involved in that.

[roadman]

[choux]

Make a concern for welfare call to the police on 101.

[davebro]

your local police website should have numbers for the PCSOs

[Canary42]

Having myself once called out the police (on a 999 call) for suspicious behaviour which turned out to be totally innocent, I can assure you they would rather that than miss a genuine emergency.

[Tilly2]

I would have called the police after two weeks. Why are you dithering about this?

[roadman]

because im not the closest neighbour and never spoke to the guy for all I know hes on long holiday but im starting to think maybe the rest in my street just have no idea or dont care maybe this man dosnt have family to call for him starting to think maybe its on me because ive noticed and i will call them today

[Tilly2]

Do it now.

[Smowball]

Knock on the door. If no reply call the police x
