Its a full week now.

One lad is always there, he has left it occassionaly but never more than an 1hr.

He has driven off in it once, as has whom we believe is his mum.

Do be aware I occasionally stop snooping and sleep, interact with my dcs so of course I could miss him coming and going.

That said me and dp keep unsociable hours and unless he's only sleeping in the house between 3 and 6am, which I doubt, he's sleeping in the car.

This evening, all the windows are open and he's laying on the grass beside.

He seems quite happy with it all strangely!

Beachy.OMG.Retinal surgery please.

millimat · 19/03/2012 19:49

At what point will it be a full week in there?

flatbellyfella · 19/03/2012 19:42

They will get a council house soon,to trash.

bagelmonkey · 19/03/2012 18:47

Maybe there should be a sweepstake on how long they're going to continue living in the car.

ImperialBlether · 19/03/2012 18:45

OP, do they leave the car and come back? Has it ever been driven in that time? Is it the same people in there all the time?

beachyhead · 19/03/2012 17:23

Hope they haven't read the centre parcs thread Grin

You know, if you say that you are worried about the safety of a minor who has been living in a car for a week, you might get more reaction from the police.

I know you think he is over 18, but how can you be sure...? Wink

Well the car vanished for around an hour, its back now.

Dps rang 101 again and they've said again they'll contact the council.
Let's hope it is all as innocent and silly as it seems to me.

Good god is this still going??! Grin

yes State tuck a black bin liner under the wiper, they might take the hint.

When's bin day for you? Best not do it till the day they come to collect or it'll be festering in the street for a week!!

ImperialBlether · 18/03/2012 23:42

Well, I would go and get my hair done, then phone a newspaper!

imperial I have no idea

nigella I've walked around a bit, school run, going to the green and play area etc, pretty sure there's nothing else strange occuring.

Were just hours away from a full week now.

go out and check whether there's a film crew around - could be they are shooting a gritty docu-drama that will win a BAFTA????

ImperialBlether · 18/03/2012 23:00

Where are they going to the loo?

StateofConfusion · 18/03/2012 22:59

According to all maps and sat nav we live in a forest, maybe they're lost?
There's a large cluster of trees behind the houses and dotted all over the estate, its kind of strange.

Yep that's it, they think there at centre parks.

I've got it Grin It's their camping holiday!

How about silently offering them a roll of bin bags?

They could poo in them.

I really wish I had the front to go over there. Just had a quick nose out ds' window, back door is open with legs poking out, my guess is they need to lie down and stretch out after a week of being crumpled up.

Its raining though! Hmm

Why not reach out a neighbourly hand with a gift - howsabout a 'Tree of Freshness' to hang on the mirror?

Don't think so millimat --now I've stared at him daily for nearly a whole week-- further inspection I'd put him at 18-23yo roughly.

Nothing much tonight except the parcel shelf now has so much rubbish on it its pressed against the rear window. Why being in a car means they can't stick stuff in a bin is beyond me.

Any further news? Should the aforesaid stroppy teenager be in school tomorrow?

lazarusb · 18/03/2012 19:30

Perhaps it's for Sport Relief? Only more 'relief' than 'sport'. Grin

MrsGuyOfGisbourne · 18/03/2012 19:02

we had this a few years ago - i contacted the police to ask their advice, they said it was ok, not to worry, but would give no further explanation so I presumed it was some sort of covert operation. We have a famous neighbour so maybe was some threat against them
