BREAKING NEWS: Mysterious wanderers traipse suspiciously by Hampstead Way with flashy phone and intruding interests.  Man and woman sighted taking pictures into peoples' homes without permission along Temple Fortune, begging the suspecting attention of the residents and raising unanswerable questions.

On a rainy Saturday evening on the 24th of October, schoolgirl Lily Wood was calmly peering out of her window when she noticed two strangers crawling around Lucas Square, Temple Fortune. At first she thought that they were “simply guests of one of [her] neighbours that were lost”, so she disregarded her doubt. Moments after, Lily once again peeked out of her bedroom window and realised that these outsiders did not belong there… 

This witness stated that these mysterious newcomers, a man and a woman (both said to be approximately 30 years old), were poking into the front-yards of these houses by Hampstead Way, in which the lady was carrying her mobile phone, taking pictures directly through the windows and into the houses. Lily Wood was “worried that they would take pictures into [her] house without anyone knowing”, so she then attempted to figure out what exactly they were planning to do: carry on taking pictures without home-owners consent? Trespass into their gardens next? Or maybe they would start to play a silly game of ding-dong-ditch? By the time the witness could look over her window once more, they had disappeared. Simply gone.

After 15 minutes of creeping through strangers’ homes and sneaking photos without permission, they had committed a vanishing-act like a cheap magician at a pop-up circus. What was left of them was the paranoia of their return and the lasting, unanswered questions of their motives… despite their actions small and potentially insignificant, it was enough to shake up some homeowners as they began questioning the safety of their homes and their families. 

This has flagged neighbouring residences to look out for any mysterious activity around them. They should always be taking a second peek out of their windows, for they never know who will be crawling their flashy cameras through their window, potentially snapshotting their unsuspecting household. Unfortunately, they may never discover their intentions, maybe they simply liked the interior designing, but nevertheless, their camera never belonged inside the houses of unaware residents, and just as Lily stated, “there is absolutely nothing for them here... they don't belong” so it only begs the question: how malicious were these outsiders, and will they ever return?
