Quick history- Wednesday night my daughter who is riddled with chicken pox informed me that she had heard some glass smash? As she was dancing the 'itchy jig' whilst having lotion applied I thought nothing more of it.
Thursday night I get home from work, check the greenhouse to see what may or may not have put in an appearance only to find a nice hole in in greenhouse! Due to position of the greenhouse the only possible direction for the object to have come from was the house directly behind. I hear the lads in the garden so asked who had broken my glass and could they be more careful. Now obviously due to not having seen the incident or the exact time it took place I was careful not to go in 'guns 'a' blazin' but the yap I got from the mother was 'lovely'. 'Not my kids', 'they weren't here', your only picking on me cos I'm a single mum', 'I'm stupid having a greenhouse with kids' 'accidents happen...' and then to top it off ' not my problem cos I just rent it'
At this point the boss hearing the raised voices has come up behind me to explain that it is their problem as there is glass everywhere and we know the landlord at which point the 17year old son calls the Mrs an 'effing fat cow'.
You would not believe the difficulty I had not vaulting the fence at that point and 'explaining why you should not speak to my wife like that'
Had to advise the Mum to have a word as I will not put up with that.
Anyhow this is the short version, however as a sign that I have clearly grown up I did not use any naughty words or raise my voice. I have also logged all this with the cops and started a diary incase this ends up being the start of it!
Anyhew- the question! I think the people we knew actually sold the house to somebody else who has now rented it to 'the dingles'. Any ideas how I can find the landlord without asking potty mouth?

)...or just hidden inside in tears not to venture in my garden ever again.
No harm done, I hope!? We've all been there...
