How about trying the local taxi company as a walk in to their office... try and explain what's happening and see if they can shed light on the people who are hiring the taxi's to come see you... ?
Do the drivers recognise your address as "Oh, that place where ????? goes on" local gossip type thing.
Go in with some dates / times of the cab arrivals... Would the Serious Crime Squad support this (if they haven't done it already themselves).
Is there another address locally similar. Red tree lane Vs red tee road etc? Miss spelled post code / address (miss heard common spelling mistake / common aural mistake)? M Vs n etc. Any google map pins online? Miss placed pin? They could be using a pin as reference but it's miss placed.
I've questioned each individual as to why they're at my door, two said that it was for a delivery but they wouldn't tell me who from or what it was. Last night's guy didn't want to linger for my questions when he realised that I hadn't ordered his services.
I've called the local taxi companies and have told them what's happening and put a block on my address, but the taxis seem to be coming from further afield. The police are also looking into it, but nothing illegal has actually happened so they're not that concerned, although it's becoming harassment. I can see the funny side but it's happening regularly and frightening my kids and neighbours.
I didn't want to believe that someone could stoop so low, but I have my suspicions and I'm considering giving their name to the police. It's put me in a horrible position and is messing with my mind
Just give the details to the police, let them make a decision on what to do. They may not do anything right now, but at least your concerns with a potential suspect are on record.
There’s a little pervhouse in my soul…
Yours as well? 😳
The wildlife cameras, or some, can be very audible. A house in my street has one on their drive for a month for some reason, and it triggered walking past on the pavement. Maybe it had an ir flash or something as I'd anyways hear the whine of charging capacitors.... Used to get me going, and returning from the chippy!
This is facinating! Have you got pampas grass in your front garden by any chance?
At the risk of being dull: how about a simple sign at the end of your drive/on your gate? Words to the effect of: "looking for a party? This is the wrong house - CCTV is installed and images will be supplied to the police - bugger off"
Is there a house nearby with tbe same door number? Every few weeks we get a knock on the door from a Deliveroo driver with take away food. We haven't ordered it but a house with the same number in a road running parallel to ours has. I see the printed address on the package. The satnav brings them to our house. Bit much to expect them to rrad the road signs I guess.
Might be worth a walk around the close neignbourhood looking for party central.
The organised crime unit looked into it initially, as they thought it may have something to do with county lines, but that was disregarded when we learned of the other incidents that happened to neighbours. There's no nearby streets with a similar name and no other house numbers which can be confused. Four neighbours, all in a cluster on the corner of a cul-de-sac, have had hookers and party goers on the same night as me. I wondered if someone had posted or replied on something like Snapchat or Instagram that there was a party here and put a picture of Google maps. The neighbours think it could be a young lad across the road, I don't think he's got the money for coke and hookers.
I think the other night was the 3rd time I've had someone at my door since March, that I've been aware of. The first two were around the same time of night, with a similar script. The 3rd was earlier in the evening, the kids called me to say someone was at the door and I opened it. He'd already clicked that he had the wrong address and was leaving.
The camera picked up a car pulling up and then turning just at the periphery of the camera, but I got a clear view of him as he approached the door. It's not helpful though without the taxi details, we have the name of one company but we don't know if they're all from the same one. I've also had weird calls once a week, which alternate between two fictitious companies. One of the callers was called Chastity, it may or may not be related to the visitors.
Going by the principles of Occams razor, I've narrowed it down to an individual but I don't want to believe that they would do something like this again. If it is the individual I'm thinking of then they may have seen the thread, I'm aware that they follow me on other platforms but I don't use this user name on anything else.
What if I'm wrong and it's not them?
But, I guess if it is whom I think then the intent to cause doubt would be calculated.

Woah, an STW stalkathon? Who'd have thunk.
I once had a young lad come to our door at around 10.30pm, and ask to speak to Emily.
Since that is my wife's name, and she's a college lecturer, I asked what he wanted. He hummed and ha'd, and I said that if he wanted me to get her, he'd have to tell me what he wanted (assuming at this point it was a possibly disturbed student).
He explained he was moving away and wanted her to know how much he loved her before he did. Nonplussed, I cautiously called my wife to come down, thumbing '999' on my phone behind the door. She came down, and the kid did a double-take. 'That's not Emily!' he said. Er, it is, I said.
'Is this number 53,' he asked? It is, I confirmed. Woodfield Road? Ah, no.
Turned out his beau lived on Woodfield Road, about half a mile away, and he'd come to the same number house Woodville Road. Young love, eh?

If four neighbours are getting the same trouble, it doesn't seem to be aimed at you personally.
I read this thread when it was first started and thought it one of the most bizarre threads that I've seen on here given the limited details, supposition, and conspiracy.
Saw that it was continuing again yesterday and re read it from the beginning so see if I had missed something crucial to me understanding it. Nope. Still puzzled.
@Faerie there must be more to this than I have read on here, understandable if you want to keep some things private,
And if so then I hope that you get some resolution.
But from what I can see though, you have had three people come to the wrong address in the past three to four months (March to late June, one person per month), and a few cold telephone calls. This really doesn't seem that unusual. You also say that your neighbours have also occasionally had people visit their addresses believing that they are somewhere else. If this is related to your visits then it suggests that it is not you individually that is being 'targeted'.
Just to add perspective we have had zero people mistakenly coming to our house or making cold telephone calls in that time.
I’d be concerned at anything odd that happened more than once.
How about laminating a sign and putting it by front door saying something like due to suspected criminal activity the premesis is under 24hr CCTV with relevant footage being passed on to the police.
We haven't had anyone knock on our door recently who was lost either!
I think you need to try and do a better job of photographing said visitors and the vehicle they arrive in - although i'm interested in you mentioning some kind of grievance behind the scenes which for obvious reasons you aren't expanding on. Surely this alone gives the police a bit more meat on the bones to do some digging around?
