This doesn't seem so bad...I mean, from the sounds of it, they didn't damage the window, and when your father explained the medical issues, they moved on. Sounds pretty damn decent to me.
Though, I wouldn't be surprised if this story ended with forced entry and armed robbery.
That one is a possibility. But, from the sounds of it, these are just kids looking for some entertainment.
My next-door neighbour got robbed in broad daylight. Some kid...maybe slightly younger than me, went through their back door, grabbed a set of car keys and dropped a passport belonging to somebody else down the road.
So my road was victim to a one-man crime spree. I suspect it was the same guy that was standing at the bottom of my drive, staring through the front window in a cap, trying to see if the dog barking in the window was a terrier on a table or a seething mass of muscle.
We've not been broken into yet, so I'm going to guess he worked out which one the dog was.
Now that's what marks the difference between crime and shenanigans. Stealing a tram and driving it along its empty route? Shenanigan. Inciting people to chase you down the road? Shenanigan. Breaking into a house and attempting to steal a car? Crime.
