I REALLY want to know what is going on!

[stonechallenge]

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????

Sat waiting for an update 😀

Something similar happened at our old address, minus the zz lister! Turned out the house was being used as a cannabis farm.

Oooh hadn't thought of a weed factory, but would a sleb (even a zz-er) risk it? I mean, that's a hell of a way to get some extra publicity!

It's not Rylan, he's on TV right now.

Or if it is, they're not looking for him very well.
(Disclaimer, I don't think Rylan would have a cannabis factory, he's doing very well for himself and seems lovely.)

Have you had a helicopter over in the last couple of days? That's how they tend to spot the homes of the green-fingered.

Try the website of your local paper. If it's interesting it may well be up there...

I think we/OP should start a yes/no game to guess the zz sleb.

I'll start ....... is it a male?

Love the thought of the police searching for someone while they're merrily broadcasting live to the nation!

Yes to guess who...

Do they wear glasses?

Probably a really thick question but what is a ZZ lister? Is it like a list, b list, c list celebrities but right down lower than z?

My guess would be immigration btw unless the police had lots of body protection on, in which case I'd guess drugs

Betty I'm thinking like someone from that TV show where they watch other TV shows IYSWIM!

Immigration? Pull the other one.

You must have some overdue weeding to get on with if they ever come back. Do you have any corners you can run to and crouch, unseen? Keep a trowel ready by the door. There's only so much you can learn from curtain-twitching.

This is your public duty, remember. Inaccurate gossip can be very damaging.

Twitter was a (not v reliable) source of info when there was a police raid in my road.

Is it a soap star? Reality tv? Wag?

Weeding is a god one. Or mow the lawn.

I'm sure your windows will need cleaning outside if they come back. Won't they?

Pop out and just ask the police if you have anything to be concerned about, or of they want you to contact them if you see anything.

Are we allowed to know what area you live in to help with the guessing game? I would ask the police as well, you do live next door!

OP your windows are absolutely filthy.

Get out there and clean them!

Afterwards you can clean them on the inside (legitmate excuse to be constantly looking out your windows)

X post with Agatha

My money's on Darren Day. Or a Cheeky Girl.

The Z lister could be sitting in the nick while the coppers search the house for drugs.

You don't live in Minnesota do you? If you do you're a terrible detective.
