Hahaha! Well, I don't know where she is I'm afraid (I haven't seen her but then I rarely did anyway)... But I DID tell a Community Police Officer about the washing and my worries. She said someone would call by and make sure everything was OK. I'd have phoned the station but I ran into the CPO on my way to Asda, within sight of the very washing I was on about!
The washing was taken in about a week after I posted and as far as I know, all is OK. That said... She may haunt me yet!
