Lady asking for ride

Paddy from Mairehau

Just had a lady hang around our place for 10-15 minutes before we realised she was even there very unsettlingly just standing at the front door in the dark no knock at the door or ring of the door bell dog kept growling and barking so went outside she was pleading for me to give her a ride to the supermarket I told her to wait till I put the dog inside she kept talking about going in the car for a ride then our dog continued to bark in her face it didn’t seem to faze her as she stepped closer. One of the boys went outside once I got the dog inside, the lady was still there and approached the gate again and changed her story to she broke up with her boyfriend and she needs help after being told repeatedly to leave we offered to call police to help her she just stood there staring then walked down our drive way looking in the cars etc just be careful guys!
