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 forgot Facebook - there are two or three local busybody/gossip groups around here

CakeNinja · 22/04/2016 12:00

I don't give a stuff what they're up to, but for the love of god, WHO IS IT?! Grin

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 22/04/2016 12:01

What does "zz lister" mean?

WorraLiberty · 22/04/2016 12:02

Sounds like they might have a warrant for arrest.

A similar thing used to happen down the end of my road. It happened 4 times before they finally caught the person at home and arrested him.

But you can always ask the police if you're curious.

Not placemarking....

werenotreallyhere · 22/04/2016 12:05

I think they may have been reported missing if they haven't actually got into the house. Sell your story to Heat! (Is Heat still around?)

BadDoGooder · 22/04/2016 12:07

I am ashamed to admit I am too invested in this thread!
Where's OP?
Really hope she's outside cleaning her windows...... Grin

BillSykesDog · 22/04/2016 12:08

I actually NEED to know who this is. Give us a clue OP.

lilacmamacat · 22/04/2016 12:09

Zing I think what they mean is a sleb who is not on an "A list celebrity" but so far down so shit they're on a ZZ list. Like someone from Made in Chelsea for example?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 22/04/2016 12:11

So someone famous adjacent. Got it. Cheers Lilac

werenotreallyhere · 22/04/2016 12:11

No one in MiC is going to live on a NEW estate....

I reckon TOWIE

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 22/04/2016 12:12

offer tea and ask what is going on :)

AlpacaPicnic · 22/04/2016 12:15

Ooh i LOVE 'famous adjacent'. That sounds so wonderfully dismissive!

birchygoo · 22/04/2016 12:15

You have got me ... I need to know!. Shamelessly marking my spot

BadDoGooder · 22/04/2016 12:17

Famous adjacent Grin
You win some sort of prize for that definitely!

Fanfeck · 22/04/2016 12:17

Oooooooo!

I REALLY want to know what is going on!
BadDoGooder · 22/04/2016 12:18

Have a gold Star

lilacmamacat · 22/04/2016 12:24

Sorry, Were you're right, but it was the first prog I could think of. Mostly because I never watch any of them.

obsessedlex · 22/04/2016 12:28

Oooh who is it who is it who is it! OP where have you gone??

BoboBunnyH0p · 22/04/2016 12:30

Shamelessly place marking.

WellErrr · 22/04/2016 12:30

Just ask them!

coffeeisnectar · 22/04/2016 12:31

I am unashamedly place marking. I need to know what's going on as well.

I wonder if we will see the op on the news later

'This is such a quiet street, they were such good neighbours, no-one would have dreamed they would be capable of this'

bibbitybobbityyhat · 22/04/2016 12:37

They won't be worried about your neighbour, otherwise they would have broken in surely?

But 14 police officers on one unproductive call! Shock

RavioliOnToast · 22/04/2016 12:38

I'm also place marking, living my life through others and all that!

have to get some action from somewhere while I keep the children alive
