something weird is going on at my neighbors

Curious as it is unless you think harm of some kind is imminent I would leave it alone entirely and not bother the neighbors or their guests. It could be religious or it could be an upcoming wedding or something else entirely.

I had a major neighbor issue years ago and I would not wish what happened to us on anyone.
 
No - the people are very middle class looking. I can see their house from my computer - a few minutes ago an elderly couple drove very slowly up our street, nearly stopped in front of their house, turned around at the end of the court, and cruised by very slowly again, and then left.
 
This is to the OP: MYOB.

Nothing you wrote about is illegal. If you witness some illegal activity of any kind then notify the police but until then, keep your nose in a good book.

When I was sailing, 1 or 2 of the crew would pick me up (we all dressed the same); I would disappear for a Sat. or Sun, or sometimes for the entire w/e. SWMBO and the kids stayed at home. My sons, when they were dating, would go outside to talk with their cell phones and sit on the front stairs or lean/sit on a car in the driveway for the privacy. When relatives visited, there were strange cars in front of the house or in the driveway.

Aren’t your neighbors entitled to same privacy they give you?

OP - nothing you have written in any of you posts is illegal or merits notification of the police.

I actually think you are a little hard on Denise...she posted a legitimate concern and asked our opinion and you posted your opinion but in a nasty way.

BTW - Your pink (magenta) font (Comic Sans MS) really gives me a headache
 
Well, nothing is illegal about people coming and going and parking their cars - but what if there are drug sales? a prostitution ring? It's probably not, but ???

Even something as innocent as a home business can be a concern if it's quiet street and the increased traffic makes it unsafe for children.

MYOB implies that the neighborhood isn't the OP's business - my living environment goes beyond my property line to include the neighborhood.
 
The police in our area have always told us to report anything unusual. Of particular interest are houses with a lot of traffic as it is a red flag for drug activity.

During Ramadan the faithful fast during the day and then feast and party after sundown. Lots of people bringing food in the evening would indicate a party but that is not what you have described.

I, too, thought of MLM (ie amway). :hysterical:

I see no reason why you can't do as other tuggers have suggested and go over in a friendly way and say that you've noticed a lot of visitors and you hope that no one is ill. You'll get a feeling for whether there is a problem or not. If they seem nervous, call the police.

Just don't bring your checkbook or you may end up with some Tupperware or Amway products!

I can't wait to hear what's going on across the street.......
 
I agree about jotting down some license plate numbers.
 
Could the house be for sale and the people coming and going be agents and prospective buyers? Not everyone puts a sign on their lawn.

That would account for drive-bys too.

Just my thoughts...

This was exactly what I was going to suggest. Not everyone has a sign in front of their house.

Keep us posted.

Wow - having a bad day? I never even implied that they were doing something illegal or that I was going to notify the police. However, unless I shut all my windows and close my eyes when I pull in and out of the driveway, I can't help but notice the unusual level of activity. Noticing it doesn't mean that I have done anything inappropriate, or that I will...

Have a nice day! :hi:

That's classic ! LOL
We know from experience that anyone doing anything bad has to look SCARY. There is no such thing as a nice looking killer, correct :) ?

Would you have been as concerned if they hadn't been of Mideastern descent, like maybe blond, blue eyed Scandinavians?
 
That crowd would be a phenomenol response to any house going on the market these days. The economy doesn't yet justify that unless it is dirt cheap and then should already be sold.
 

There is a fine line between being watchful and being nosey; I think the OP crossed that line. That's all.

hey Steamboat Bill - How do you like this color & font? Any better?

oh ok, point well taken :eek:
 
I'm not Bill, but I find the red colored font to be very annoying. Its hard on my eyes, for one thing. Its also as if you are saying, "Hey, I'm important, look at me." Maybe you aren't, but that's the impression it gives.

We don't like trolls, if that's your intention...

Have you tried googling them to see if they began a business or club? Perhaps they are doing something with election etc.? Is there a reason you can't ask?

It doesn't sound like very low key behavior or typical players for a criminal enterprise.

That would take the mystery out of it and we wouldn't have all this fun speculating. :hysterical:

Seriously, just ask.

I sure would - apparently you didn't read all the posts:

BTW - their race is a non-issue with me - I live in a totally ethnically mixed neighborhood. Within the block we have neighbors who are Indian, African-American, Asian, Portuguese, and Mexican. I am just trying to paint an accurate picture.

I just posted because I thought it was interesting, but apparently this thread really annoys some people so this will be my last post on the subject.

Rest assured that I do not intend to report my neighbor to the police or treat them in anything but a friendly manner.

Thanks to everyone who contributed! :hi:
 
Neighbors

I would not have posted this thread on the TUB BBS.....at all.

Issues with neighbors are not an appropriate topic for this forum, in my opinion.
