Please tell me I'm just being paranoid.
Across the road from my house there is a people carrier/minibus type of vehicle and it has 3 people in it. This vehicle has been there most of today (although has moved positions a couple of times.)
In the back street there is a car parked across from my house and it has blackened windows.
So what can be going on???
Am I just worrying about nothing?????
Am I going mad?????????

Perhaps somebody else near you has. If there is an arrest or anything spectacular please come and tell us.

Of course the people in the minibus may think you are watching them!

AgentZigzag · 11/11/2011 13:32

The cars could be watching out for something, be police surveillance etc, but if you're not The Godfather of your immediate area, I would just keep having a nosey out of the window wouldn't worry.

Georgimama · 11/11/2011 13:34

Probably police surveillance. If someone who lives near you is making a big personal injury claim they may also be under surveillance by the defendant's lawyers. I wouldn't worry about it.

AgentZigzag · 11/11/2011 13:34

Yes, like Andrew said, please do come and tell us if anything kicks off, we may be able to help.

Is there such a thing as eyewitnesses by proxy? I thought I saw that minibus move again... Grin

BlackCatinaWoollyhat · 11/11/2011 13:35

an ambulance has turned up a long way down the road now. I live near a T junction so have a good view.

SarahStratton · 11/11/2011 13:38

No don't do that, they will be really fucked off if you draw attention to them. Shock

You do need to keep us updated though, tis your Duty to Mumsnet to keep us Informed.

"They" are staking Agent ZigZag :o

AgentZigzag · 11/11/2011 13:42

Curtain twitching = forewarned is forearmed.

It's within your own interest to make sure nothing's going to affect you/yours.

the nack is to not move the curtains so they don't know you're nebbing Grin

caramelwaffle · 11/11/2011 13:42

BlackCatinaWoollyhat · 11/11/2011 13:50

The three people are back, standing around talking near the van, Now they have got in and drove away!

Back street: the car is still there but that has moved back a bit from where it was.

Ambulance has now also gone.

My Nan was asked if the police could use one of her bedrooms for surveillance once. Was all ready to plot myself up for a few days with tea and biscuits but she refused to let them. :(

AgentZigzag · 11/11/2011 14:01

'Who is the poo troll?

You would say that Wink

Who wants the police logging up their toilet Balloon? Your Nan was quite right to refuse Grin
