Friends recently had their garden hose put through their letterbox and the external tap turned on. This happened after they went to bed and the hose was still running the following morning. The police put it down to random vandalism. Thousands of pounds worth of damage, fortunately covered by insurance but a huge hassle. This was in a "good" area! They are a quiet retired couple who wouldn't annoy let alone hurt a fly. The thing that frightened them was it could have been a fire. My outside tap has a stopcock inside the house, I now use it!
