Why would a garda come to my house and look for me?

RebelSoul

Maybe a relative of yours has applied to join the gardai and now they are doing background checks on that persons family.

Or you won a yacht..

Kettleson

Any amount of reasons...but I'm intrigued, so I'm posting. I suppose to contribute, did you break someones nose recently? Barring news of a a death that you need to be informed about , it normally takes a while for paper work to be processed for a Garda to turn up at your door,...mind you if its a more serious or personal matter you could get a visit at any time...so still none the wiser, and you wont be until they come back again...intrigued though.

Same thing happened me.

Garda came to the door, and left a note with my wife. They are looking to interview me.

Strange, cos I don't remember applying for a job there.

Clearly they've been arrested and detained.

Do you have the same name as a well known sports star and you were caught speeding 5 times on the same day because your house was flooded.

What a stunning set of gnashers!

sligoface

They rang me once and asked me to come into the station, turns out it was just them clearing out their inventory of lost and found items and they had an old wallet I had lost with my college ID and bank card. They never contacted me when it was turned in years ago. But I'd say if they are callling to the house than it is something more important (to them).

Spring Onion

I had Gardaí looking for me since I was 12 years old. Minor stuff, mostly. My mother covered for me for the most part.
Got a chase from a motorbike cop once, I was on a bike. Great chase. Thought I had given him the slip but I reckon some locals dobbed me in because he found me tucked away down an unused lane. He bought my sob story .

Good days but I mended my errant ways...or have I? Actually I have...:P...kinda...

The OP is obviously under some sort of surveillance....he probably wanted to use the jacz was there flashing blue lights and sirens?..

joe swanson

You should probably start panicking. Your best option is to go to brazil or Venezuela or somewhere like that as soon as possible.

they might be watchin for you at the airports though...............

No. You're the only person in history that had a Garda come looking for them.

Might just be dorr to door enquiries about something in the area like a suspicious car or something ask your neighbours did they knock in to them too. Let us know either way. Or send us a post card from jail.

JaneeMack

Sorry folks - didnt have access to my computer till now (don't know how to use boards from my phone!)

It wasn't me actually - it happened to my bf. Apparently they said they would come back in the evening and they never did. So the mystery goes on!!

Judging by your previous posts I'd say he's done something scumbaggey and that's why they're after him.

Maximus Alexander

I'd say he threw a can at the wrong wall.

Tell him to visit the local Garda Station and enquire.

If for no other reason, at least for the benefit of this thread.

OMG....I should be getting ready to go to work, absolutely sore from laughing at this whole thread!!! How the hell am I supposed to get through this day without breaking into manic, un-controlled & sudden fits of chaotic laughing when I get flashes of such awesome quotes like......"he just wants to know if your cat's poo is still runny" , etc etc??? If my boss has me removed from the premises by men in little white coats today I'm gonna cite this thread to the judge at my sanity hearing.

The only time they came looking for me I had filled the car with diesel, gone into the shop, queued for the ATM and then forgotten to pay. CCTV, call to the guards, car was outside the house 30 minutes later.

That's the thing - he's been so good and we spend a lot of time together so there's nothing that can trigger anything! We will only find out once the garda comes back

Hes been so good lately. Why do i get the feeling he wasnt such a good boy a few months ago. Maybe the gardai have a better long term memory than you give them credit for and have built some case against him and have come knocking. Op you sound like your man has led you down the garden path so to speak. So whats your measurement!!!;)

Garda called to my house once to investigate me for an attempted kidnapping.

Guards rang me about this before. Thing was I had gone in, paid for a bottle of wine for my mother and told them exactly how much the petrol was. Input the pin code without looking at the amount on the screen-idiot checkout person never put through the petrol even though they had confirmed it with me. They were pure rude on the phone too when I was trying to organise payment

Don't worry. If your in some kind of trouble, they usually come at 6 or 7 in the morning and catch you off guard.

Are you planning an insurrection?

Or maybe you went on a mad Xanax binge killed someone while you were on it & can't remember.
