Stephanie spends her days watching her neighbor across the street. What caught her curiosity was the number of cars on the neighbor’s driveway, curb, and lawn.
“How many people do you think lives in that house?” She asked her husband Richard over dinner one evening. “That house is the same size as ours and we can barely fit when the grandkids come over.”
“You should mind your business, dear.” Richard said, “Meddling comes with consequences.”
Stephanie ignored Richard’s comments. One day, just as she’s about to leave her house, five police cars skidded to a halt before her neighbor’s house.

That’s a good one. We spend a good deal of time watching our across the street neighbors. They don’t have a lot of cars, but it’s all just odd. Very odd…

Thank you. I don’t watch my neighbors yet this kind of thing happened to me. Maybe I should start.

Looks like she got it right! We had a similar neighbor years ago. Good on her for paying attention.

After a rental home company bought my neighbor’s house next door, this kind of things has been happening every few years or so. In fact, it happened a few weeks back.

it’s not a good sign to have cops surrounding the neighbor’s house. perhaps they got a tip from a neighbor or even from her husband.

Maybe… but definitely not a good sign.

I’m with Richard, she should mind her business, but I’m from NYC and that’s a code we live by. If they’re not hurting you, watch out of curiosity, but mind your business.

Absolutely! This was actually based on something similar that happened to me several weeks ago when 5 cop cars showed out my house to arrest my neighbor.
