We keep hoping someone will hit it or that the hurricane last year would destroy it (and nothing else) LOL But nope, it's been parked there for probably 10 years not moving once.

anyways.... the only time we see the man (who we heard is a dog trainer) is when he's doing agility with his 3 Border Collies on the front lawn... Other than that, he gets in his car in the garage, gets out in the garage. He mows the lawn at night but the whole house is pitch black, you can't even tell there is a house there at night, but the lawn mower will be going in the backyard or something. He's definitely odd. The wife seems ok, a little odd, but she'll at least say Hi or pet my dogs when we are out at the same time as her.

Have you checked your city's code for this type parking of a recreational vehicle on a neighborhood street? In my city, it is not allowed to park and keep a vehicle like that longer than 24 hours or something like that. And if you do report the violation, they allow you to remain anonymous.

Well.... I don't want to do that to these people. DH might though I'll let him know. See, these people bought the house thinking they could run a dog training facility out of it. It was zoned for small business... however, people on the road filed something with the town against them and the zone changed so they could not. They were stuck with the house and couldn't run the business either. I think that left a lot of bad blood with them & the street. This was long before DH & I moved in. I don't want to cause them anymore issues.... but I do wish they would put that thing in their driveway... it's long enough, plenty of room.

Luckily I only have neighbors on one side of my house and they are new and they sit on the front porch and drink beer. They are nice but when they get drinking they talk loudly so I'm sure at some point I'm going to have to say something to them

I've seen neighborhoods where those things are uglying up everybody's property by being such an ungainly eyesore. I wouldn't want to see it either. You would think people would have more consideration for their neighbors but they don't!

Obviously you need to step up your game, and increase your surveillance Definately sounds strange.

I have such normal neighbors now. Nice lady on one side, and a "summer home" for people that live downstate on the other side. Neither bother me. No keeping up with the joneses or anything

Last house I had neighbors that were so immaculate, they got down on their hands & knees and used scissors to evenly cut the grass that grew against their house....try keeping up with that!

My neighbor next door used to be like that. Boy did he work on his lawn a lot! He always kept it perfectly.

I guess I'd better get on the stick if I want to be a true nosy neighbor!!! But who buys a house in a suburban neighborhood and hardly lives there?

Ha... my neighbors probably think we are the weirdos.

We stay downstairs most of the time and its underground so there are never lights on. And I keep all the blinds and doors shut. And the lights turned off bc I have to pay that power bill now!

Bake a pie or cake and take it over there and introduce yourself and ask if there is anything you can help out with.

I wonder if it's my son and his wife? Lol, they bought a house that had been remodeled, then they did the whole thing all over including driveway and walkways. The moved into the house, but kept living in their old house for over a year, while they finished lots of little details. We would all go over occasionally to take a look at it and see what they had done, but I've often wondered what the neighbors thought. I just think younger people like things all done and have extreemly high standards on what they want in their house. I've got to admit though I have 3 large screen tv's, so that part I understand perfectly.

Even the driveway was re-done. Finally, a brand new car appeared in the drive way one night and was still there the next morning. Next day or so came a huge moving van and box van and by the next day the front parkway was full of huge boxes of: 3 huge flatscreen TV boxes - 1 60" Panasonic LED LCD, 2 55" Sony LED LCD, refrigerator box(never have seen one before) and new furniture boxes for wingback chairs, lamps and some baroque-named desk! Rows of huge boxes.

Lights were on that night and the car in the drive. For the next several days, no car, no lights, draperies closed and the huge boxes remained for three days until the city finally picked them up. Since then, a car is in the drive 2 - 3 nights a week and lights are on those evenings but I never see anyone. The rest of the time the house is seemingly abandoned, windows and draperies closed, no lights and no cars about. No visitors ever that I've seen. Now there is a single pink toy babydoll stroller in the yard near the driveway. Never have seen a child but I did see the young lady the day the moving van came. She was taking some things from the trunk of the car so I guess she is the new owner. Her lawn is done once a week by a lawn service and the property immaculate. Normally, I don't notice my neighbors all that much but this has me puzzled.

What in the world could be going on with my mysterious new neighbor? Where the heck could she be?

Omg don't get me started on the neighbors!!

Right next door we have a family with annoying ass kids. Since they were little they would leave their Razor scooters out in the street, in front out our house. Their basketballs, skateboards, bikes, anything, always in front of our house. Now they are older, Tweens, and their mom set up a patio furniture set in the front yard! And our bedroom window faces the side of the house with the front yard, so in the summer we hear them. Oh boy that is coming up really soon.

Then there is a guy that keeps bringing his bulldog unleashed on our yard to pee right on our front door! Mil put up gates on the porch, and still she finds pee marks on our door. And it's not our dogs bc she knows when she takes them outside. I bet this guy is lifting his dog over the gates so he can pee on our door.

Maybe they think I'm the weird one w a different dog every few months. They must be thinking, what happened to the last done?

I remember when my neighbors kids were teenagers and had patio parties - not that far from my bedroom!!! Ugh! I feel you.
