Went outside this morning and saw this

Checked my cameras. Yesterday at 4:30pm he came back, drove up the driveway, and tore up my yard on his illegal motorbike thing. I am absolutely kicking myself for not noticing sooner, because I actually heard the motorbike, but there's been a lot of goons recently and I'm near a roundabout. Lots of bikes have been joining around the roundabout, I assumed this was just a particularly loud one. Ugh

Ironically the last few nights I've actually started feeling safe. I was thinking "well nothing's happened in a few weeks, I'm probably safe". Then this happens.

Any advice, DT? Worth calling the police? I did manage to catch him on the camera, but he's in a hoodie and helmet, and it very narrowly missed the plates

The footage is enough for a police report. If you know who it is and can provide the police with enough information to identify the rider, then they will probably act on that.

Even if all you give them is an example of this bike doing this at 4am, when the guy is eventually apprehended, they'll pile this onto whatever he is charged with.

Thanks. I'll call the assistance line Thai evening when I have a chance. They never followed up with me about the theft or property damage, so I'm not convinced they'll do much, but it's worth adding in case it happens again I suppose

sorry who is he? I missed something.

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, should've clarified. He's the old housemate that broke into my room and broke my things while I was away. Seems he's still pissed at me for one reason or another

then yeah I'd be going to the cops, and contact your organization and tell them your being harassed by him. Make it their issue. They are the ones who F'ed up, right?

Probably ex-housemate from hell
