Hi Moderators or Nigel Please edit as you wish but the following information is accurate and I ask that you allow your members to make of as they wish.

About 1600 hours today (4 oclock) whlts working outside our house with my son I had a unusual visitor, a Silver  Toyota Landcruiser turned on to our property travelling faster than our few friends approach. It pulled opposite us,, with two white male occupants approx 35/40yrs old slimbuild the driver taller than the passenger . Were were greeted with

Hola
I smiled back with a grin as they were obviously english with a right hand drive vehicle registration number PK56PKN or something similar PK56 being correct PKN or something close.
The passenger said Oh your english

He then said something akin to

Hi were in the area doing some asphalting we called in at the restauraunt ( some 50 meters from us) to see if we can do some for them and they said no thanks but our neighbour is english and there doing some building work  call in. So do you need your track Asphalting.

I declined and asked if they were part of the crew widening the Ulldecona Tortoas T331 which has just commenced and they replied

No were working on a property 7/8 km towards Tortosa.

They left as quick as they arrived.

Points to note.

The Restauraunt is closed on Mondays (today) so they lied

What is an english crew trying to flog Asphalt (Tarmac) in Spain,,,,,,

My building work can be seen from the main road and I havea large solar array viewable from the main road.

We have two large Akita Dogs who were in the house at the time due to cold weather they are now back on guard duty. (they dont know it yet )

Make of it as you will but pikeys come to mind and stock crap answer when surprised by home owners being home 

PS My lad seemed to think the windscreen was cracked and the passenger front window was smashed

Sorry to hear about your visit Woo.

Folowing Nigel's comments it could be an interesting exercise to spread and untrue rumour about someone going to be away from their highly protected property for a while and wait to see what happens.  But then again that could possibly bring more problems by drawing attention to a desirable property.

Any thoughts ?

Hi Woo
a quick internet check on that plate says that it is a Mercedes Viano Cdi2.2 Amb Long A (MPV),
so if that is the plate you saw then it is definitely dodgy

Caught someone breaking into my neighbours casa yesterday morning; The reason he gave was that he had no money for food and he was hungry, but I still do not think that was a good enough excuse to break-in. Mossos arrived in about half an hour and were very helpful. The guy is white, very bald wearing glasses, 5ft-9"wearing the usual jeans and T-shirt, speaks english with a Dutch or German accent, 40-50ish. This happened just outside Perello village, the person is local, as I had seen him about, just wonder how many more he has hit. Porridge anyone!!
