To wonder what my neighbour was doing?

I was working from home today. About 10 a.m. I was on the phone upstairs and I saw my NDN peering through our downstairs window. She was there for a few minutes then she moved round to a bit of the house I can't see from upstairs. I finished my phone call and came down to look for her, but she'd gone. I went round to her house and said 'I saw you just came over, sorry I missed you, is everything OK?' She flatly denied that she'd been round to ours, and it was a bit awkward, so I said that I must have been mistaken, but I know it was definitely her. I figured maybe she had heard noise in our house, and was just checking for burglars, but was embarrassed in case I thought she was snooping. I mentioned it to my husband when he got home from work tonight, and he said that last week he came home at lunchtime and saw the same neighbour 'hot-footing it' over the low wall that divides our houses and rushing into her house. He thought it was a bit odd, but not worth mentioning. I'm sure it's nothing sinister, but I am just a bit baffled. We are reasonably friendly, we moved in two years ago and she's been round to ours for coffee quite a few times, so I can't see that our house would hold any great mystery to her. AIBU to think this is a bit odd?

I've got a nosy bag one side of us. Luckily for me she's got a dodgy leg so couldn't hop over a low fence.

Blatant place marking? Me?

Shamelessly marking place!

Found out anything?Grin

It's probably unlikely, but there could be a serious reason why she might be coming round but denying it when you challenge her about it at her home where her husband may be present, and that would possibly be a dv issue if she might be desperate enough to try and disclose it to a neighbour in a safeguarding manner.

Dv victims are advised to disclose to someone trustworthy nearby to arrange innocuous codewords etc that they can shout / signs which would alert someone to be able to call the police or know that the person is in trouble, and to deposit important documents before the victim can leave safely.

It is unlikely, but it may be a possibility

Can't believe OP has abandoned us!!

JoffreyBaratheon · 05/02/2015 14:32

Number, maybe she's now under neighbour's patio..? Sad

Number3cometome · 05/02/2015 14:47

Oh gosh!!

FestiveElf · 09/02/2015 20:45

Noooo I really thought this one would have a conclusion. It's just like the clicky bathroom light thread. Sigh.

SoleSource · 09/02/2015 20:51

Gawd you're a nosey lot.

AlpacaLypse · 09/02/2015 20:52

Shall one of us PM the OP to try and get a bit of closure on this?

Solo · 10/02/2015 00:19

Yes! go on then AlpacaLypse I'm right behind you!

ChubbyKitty · 10/02/2015 00:39

Just read all of this thinking there might have been a conclusion!

Definitely odd behaviour . I'd have changed locks, just in case.
