To get a welfare check on my neighbors?

My neighbors are usually up all night till 3am with their kids (they had two young children) screaming, running about, crying and it was every night, the children would scream and cry when they argue. Our walls are so thin I could hear them walking about.
When we first moved in they where arguing and I swear she was shouting for help.
They argue quite alot usually in their language.
I used to see them about on the street quite alot to.
A couple of days before Christmas they where arguing quite badly early hours of the morning (2/3am. Im up with my toddler every night so I always hear it)
But since then iv not heard anything, it's radio silent, literally not a peep since before Christmas. Their car is still parked outside, there's things still in their garden too so I don't think they've moved.only thing that's changed is their shed door is open (not been burgled).

Would you get in touch with 101 to get a welfare check? Just feels abit weird to me.

I would speak to 101, yes. Probably would have done a while ago tbh.

Juanbablo · 21/01/2021 07:15

I think you should.

lunar1 · 21/01/2021 07:18

Yes!

chesterfuckingdraws · 21/01/2021 07:20

Definitely.

Happyfamily123 · 21/01/2021 07:24

Yes and update us as this is worrying

shouldistop · 21/01/2021 07:25

Yes of course. I'd have called 999 when I heard her shouting for help though.

EileenGC · 21/01/2021 07:25

Yes, better safe than sorry.

Could they have travelled to their home country for the holidays? Maybe they're stuck there with not many flights available.

LadyPenelope68 · 21/01/2021 07:26

Definitely worth asking for a check

Nosey.
BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 21/01/2021 07:28

Yes.

It's possible they've gone away (lockdown?) But it's also possible that things aren't great.

Catsandkittens638297 · 21/01/2021 07:28

@EileenGC that's what we thought, that they've gone back for Christmas

Lsquiggles · 21/01/2021 07:29

I would definitely! How worrying

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 21/01/2021 07:30

[quote Catsandkittens638297]@EileenGC that's what we thought, that they've gone back for Christmas[/quote]
So why do you now think otherwise?

I'd call for a welfare check though

feellikeanun · 21/01/2021 07:31

Yes I would.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 21/01/2021 07:34

Well I would probably have phoned when I heard her shouting for help, but yes, phone now.

LST · 21/01/2021 07:34

Can't you knock on their door? Ask if they'd taken a parcel in for you because its been delivered but not to your house etc.. or some other excuse?

trevthecat · 21/01/2021 07:35

Definitely.

Catsandkittens638297 · 21/01/2021 07:36

Currently on the online chat to 101!

borageforager · 21/01/2021 07:37

have you tried knocking on the door?

mum11970 · 21/01/2021 07:37

Don’t think the police can do anything other than knock on the door. Sounds like they’ve gone away, the smell would let you know if anything terrible had happened to them inside the flat.

CoffeeRunner · 21/01/2021 07:37

Yes. Hopefully they are just back visiting their country. Although that would now mean they’ve been gone a month & if they work that’s a long time to be away for.

It has to be worth checking though doesn’t it.

hotpotlover · 21/01/2021 07:38

Yes definitely a welfare check. I just wonder if they don't answer, will the police break in the door? What if they are on holiday and it's innocent?

DimidDavilby · 21/01/2021 07:38

Hopefully they've just gone home for xmas

ApolloandDaphne · 21/01/2021 07:38

Are they just not there?

LucyAutumn · 21/01/2021 07:38

Omg yes, I second the knocking on the door looking for a parcel suggestion too
