For the duration of the winter we had a call for one of our customers. She was concerned that a person had moved into her garden shed. As it was the winter she didn't go into the garden as significantly as within the summer months. One weekend she decided to clear up all of the fallen apples and pears from the trees. While she was available she went into the shed and she discovered some blankets and some takeaway food containers. She believed this was very strange but thought that possibly her teenage son and his pals had had a sleepover in the shed.
She quizzed her son and he said that they wouldn’t sleep in there as the roof leaked and there was no electricity. The subsequent factor that happened was a modest fire had been made in the entrance to the shed and there were much more blankets and rubbish. She called the Police and they suggested she would get a quicker response if she called us.
We decided to put up a covert camera pointing at the shed to get towards the bottom of it. After a couple of days the tapes showed a filthy young man going into the shed and creating a fire. He sat huddled up by the fire all night. Our client had never observed him just before and as he seemed so young she wanted to assist him. The next night a social worker and our client went out into the garden to see if they could assist the young man.
He was really polite but looked exhausted. He had run away from his house and had been sleeping rough in our client’s garden and other gardens in the neighbourhood. The social worker told him she could put him into care for the night and sort out his circumstance within the morning. He is now with foster parents and doing well at school.
