To think there is something strange with my neighbours

New neighbours moved in a few months ago. Hard to work our who lives there. Have passed them in the street and said hello trying to be friendly, but they don't engage. Middle aged woman seems to be the only consistent one at the property. She regularly walks up the street, waits outside someone else's house for 10/15 mins, eventually someone comes and picks her up in a car. Later on sge gets dropped off but never outside her own home. Have seen semi official people talking to her on the street - they wear lanyards. She never seems happy to be speaking to them. It always looks quite heated and she seems very defensive.

It just seems odd that if she's waiting for a lift, why not just wait in her house or on her own drive. Why does she never invite the lanyard wearing people in.

I know I seem like a right nosey neighbour, but I can't help feeling something isn't right with her. What if she needs some help? Is she a victim of people smuggling/modern day slavery?

AIBU yes - mind your own business and keep well our of it
No - it is odd and you should follow your gut.

She's a victim of a curtain twitching neighbour who needs to get a hobby..ie you.

You'll be told none of your business. But I'd be intrigued. Though I live on a little street and we all know each other.

None of your business.
