Re: Open up! This is the police!
I wonder if its worth checking some of the Hispanic expat sites to see if some guy called Ramos had an early morning call from the old bill looking for a guy called Roland

Toon has the mobile number that belonged to a former employee. That guy's vindictive ex-wife and her family used to call many times a day looking for him. Toon tried speaking Spanish to them to no avail, possibly this made them more specific.
One day they called and he'd had enough so shouted down the phone in Dutch
they were so shocked they have not called back!

Re: Open up! This is the police!
Always did a 'knock' at 4/5am best time to gwet the bad guys...... Plus if we were 'quiet'we used to go to one of the local drug dealers houses and knock like hell. .......Then when the toilet 'flushed',........ we dropped a 'Drugs Awareness' leaflet through the letter box !!

Re: Open up! This is the police!
How does it feel to be an ethnic minority Roland?
At least the officer didn't shoot first and ask questions later..although it must have been pretty scary.
I will watch out for you on the next episode of Cops...
btw Someone banged on my door last night at midnight to tell me I had left my garage door open. Makes the street look untidy so it does.

Re: Open up! This is the police!
Four o'clock this morning, Wifey and I were suddenly woken up by a loud banging on the door.
I was worried it was a gang of drug dealers or IRS agents or something, so I struggled into some jeans while Tina (despite my instructions not to) answered the door.
And there stood a policeman.
And the expression on his face was: 'Oh, shit. I've just woken up the only white, legal residents on this entire street.'
Since our street is almost exclusively made up of Spanish illegal immigrants (we have the only cars with New Jersey plates, which is a clue.)
The policeman was looking for somebody called Ramos. When he found out that Ramos can't have lived at this address for at least six months, he apologised and left.
And Tina and I struggled to get back to sleep (I had to get up an hour and a half later.)
Am I just being a whiney little sod, or is it a bit off of the police to wake us up at four in the morning for that startlingly inefficient bit of police work?
