Page 3 | To be concerned about my neighbours?

Lynn981 · 2025-10-06T21:57:32+00:00

My neighbours are a young couple with a toddler. I normally seem them but I haven’t for 3 days now. All their lights and curtains hahe been drawn but their cars are still on the drive and haven’t moved. Or am I over thinking? It just seems a bit unusual. We are rural and you can’t really get to anywhere without a car, not even local shop. Also they’re not abroad or anything, as I actually spoke to the lady neighbour the other day and she said someone from the council was meant to be coming round

No, the curtains have stayed drawn. And no lights on at all, for 3 nights

Maybe they gone to stay with family and someone picked them up

I don’t think you have come across as a nosy neighbour at all OP.
I am relieved you don’t now need to take any further action, and all is well.
Who can say when any one of us may have to rely on the observances or care of neighbours to help us.

Sorry, * I would not say I am a nosy neighbour. Not would! 😂

Freudian slip.

WeeGeeBored · 08/10/2025 03:33

Now that this “drama” is over it is weird to reflect on the abuse poured on those of us who urged calm and caution in jumping to conclusions.

I feel as though there is nothing good on the telly so people are conjuring up true crime scenarios to keep themselves entertained.

This thread is one of a couple that speculate on dark goings on at the neighbours.

You clearly are a nosy neighbour

BlakeCarrington · 08/10/2025 00:54

Although fair do’s for keeping a neighbourly eye out.

BlakeCarrington · 08/10/2025 00:53

Phew! Glad they’re back, and you too OP. I was worried you too had been sucked into the same swirling vortex of evil that got your neighbours, p’raps when you were looking through the letterbox.

Glad it's turned out all good, OP. It hasn't been a joke for you.

Umbrella15 · 08/10/2025 00:47

Maybe they have gone on holidays, and took a taxi to the airport

"he has killed the wife and child and spent three days disposing of the body"

Oh definitely!

That's it.

Well given the OP's update, have you now decided that he has killed the wife and child and spent three days disposing of the body?😅😅

So it appears they are back. I have seen the male walking the dog this evening, did not see the lady and the little one though.

can I just point out, I would say I am a nosy neighbour. I just see them walking past my window regularly. Usually together at the same time of the day walking the dog. We also have a shared drive way so I obviously see when their cars are there

Do know whether either of the couple work? If it’s been three days and something serious has happened surely their employer would have noticed and be suspicious and concerned? I know mine would if I were suddenly not there and couldn’t be contacted.

Exactly this. And Occam’s razor would suggest they are on holiday. There are plenty of other people who are more likely to ‘miss’ them much quicker than 3 days and raise the alarm, other than a neighbour they don’t speak to.

Employers would be raising the alarm within 24 hours
Family and Friends, depending on how close they were and how often they spoke. Nurseries, toddler groups, even dog walking friends would check in by text if they hadn’t seen me in a few days and they didn’t know I was away.

Also I’d be hopping bloody mad if I innocently went off on holiday (trying my best to not draw attention to the house by leaving curtains closed and cars in the drive) only to find that the police had destroyed my door because I’d failed to inform all my neighbours of my every movement.

You cant say things like that on this thread, apparently it makes you stupid.....God forbid that common sense be used!

Just seen re the dog. I'd definitely knock and see if it barks. Do you know anyone that might have their number? Personally I'd rather a neighbour checked on me unnecessarily then didn't check when something was very wrong.

Yes, I agree. I would knock .

Well I would if the police were at the door, but if I was away then obviously not, and that was my point.

3 days with no lights on and the cars not being moved, my first thought would be "oh they must have gone away" not "OMG!!!!They must have had a carbon monoxide leak and all be dead" which is how this thread has gone.

Reminds me of the thread by the woman pissed off that her husband wanted to do a 10 hour round trip to see someone on a very precious week long holiday that ended up with posters saying that he was in a threeway cuckholding sex ring with the couple he was going to see. Completely bloody barmy!

Common sense seems to be utterly lost on this place at times.

If you were in the house, wouldn't you answer the door?
You say curtain twitcher, I say neighbour being concerned on noticing things are not as they usually are.

That said, one of my neighbours called the police thinking another neighbour was lying dead in his home because they noticed loads of blue bottles inside.

Turned out he had gone to France and left a banana on the side and it was the middle of summer. If that neighbour had asked me (she knew I am friends with the banana neighbour) I would have told them he was in France.

They had already bashed the door down by the time and I was the one who had to call him in France and tell him. It was the back door which wasn't as robust as the front, but still....
