AIBU - sounds like I'm being nosey but WTAF is going on.

Live in a street, detached house but houses close together, new estate.

Last night, around 12 uniformed Police & 2 plain clothes arrive NEXT door. Outside for about 30mins no police cars/vans just a lot of radioing/phone usage.

Half the police then go round the back of said neighbours house into their garden.

Nothing, no drama in the street, no one taken out the house etc. Hour later all police disappear.

I'm just hanging around in my house now & 3 marked police vans arrive again, all get out, try and gain entry again to next door.

A. I'm a bit of a "hate this sort of thing going on outside my house etc as the police vans parked outside MY house (great!!!)

B. Jesus what is going on to warrant so many police?

C. Fuck sake!

D. Where the hell ARE my neighbours?

E. This will out me (hopefully not) but ZZ lister lives there

F. I actually hope they are ok!?

So my question is AIBU to want to know what the hell is going on????

I bet my son is going to turn is going to turn into a REAL Fatboy

Pipbin · 22/04/2016 19:57

Have you spoken to any other neighbours? They might know something.

BirthdayBetty · 22/04/2016 20:00

Hey, you might have the paps around Grin

Skittlesss · 22/04/2016 20:02

Doubt it's drugs - usually we knock the door through if they aren't there. Wouldn't go back multiple times first as that risks a tip off.

stonechallenge · 22/04/2016 20:02

I haven't lived her long.

Scale of 1-10 I'd say a 8.5 hence triple Z lister

Now what I'm more concerned about now is this .....

I've been round there a couple times, you know the odd glass of wine, tea, kids play etc ...

What if they think I've "dobbed" them in?

Mind probs gone into overdrive here but Jesus this shit is real going on out there.

I think we need to start a thread called I live in the same street as:
We can all name our nearest celebs.
especially opGrin

UptownFunk00 · 22/04/2016 20:09

Not place marking, not at all!

MinnieF1 · 22/04/2016 20:15

No, me neither Uptown Wink

MangoMoon · 22/04/2016 20:18

I like using 'The Fuzz' when talking about the police.
(Adding nothing to thread...)

stonechallenge · 22/04/2016 20:19

The Fuzz! Hahhaha

I'm assuming you've already tried texting your neighbours directly?

Start my arranging a fake playdate and see how the convo pans out Wink

Skittlesss · 22/04/2016 20:23

Right

Have you seen all occupants of the house today?
If not, when was the last time you saw them?
If one adult missing is it a male or female?
Have you noticed anything unusual (other than 5-0 there?)
Is there any "gossip" about said celeb?

NorbertDentressangle · 22/04/2016 20:23

My money is on the ZZ lister's partner has been nicked for drugs/armed robbery/large-scale fraud .

He's in custody and the fuzz want to search the house and car but don't have a warrant to break the door down.

GarlicShake · 22/04/2016 20:23

I have possibly never been so interested in the gossip of a stranger about their neighbours Grin

Suspected murder? Illegal immigrants in the cellar? Bonkers anti-terrorist squad? Has the sleb been seen carrying a Koran lately, or made some joke about blowing up Parliament??

Verticalvenetianblinds · 22/04/2016 20:24

I can't take the anticipation! Oh Friday nights are fun!

GarlicShake · 22/04/2016 20:24

Sounds more likely, Norbert.

thingamijig · 22/04/2016 20:24

The fuzz! Grin
They were called Something a bit ruder up here but as I know there are police posting in not writing it! Blush

SquareDolphin · 22/04/2016 20:25

...drop in leading phrases like "we had so much fun last time it would be criminal not to do it again soon"

Sit back and wait for response.

Report back.

Haggisfish · 22/04/2016 20:25

I reckon underage girlfriend.

ichoosesleep · 22/04/2016 20:26

OP do you promise this won't be one of those times where you reveal the ZZ and we all say "who??" . Will we definitely know them ? Hmm

Skittlesss · 22/04/2016 20:26

No, Norbert, if he was in custody then the cops have powers to search his address so would take his key and go in.

IDontSayBlahBlahBlah · 22/04/2016 20:27

I just skipped the thread to ask if we know who the zz lister is? PM me anyone? ✌️👍🏽😁
