Not seen neighbours in weeks lights and heating on

Been thinking to myself the last week or so how weird it is that we haven't seen the neighbours in weeks probably coming up to a month now. Every single light on in the house and heating on all day and night.

They have had lots of police involvement in the past, she had 4 older children with learning difficulties police were being called out so many times a week. Her children are normally jumping on the car roof slamming doors etc. Not seen or heard a peep from them since mid December. I always felt sorry for her because it seemed like she couldn't cope with all of them in that small house they were running her ragged.

I knocked on yesterday morning and obviously no answer, is this something you would report to the police or just leave it?

I don’t think they’d leave their car if they were doing a runner.

That’s what I was thinking...

Someone could have died in there. No wonder bodies aren't discovered for ages.

And the other four adults in the house just haven't noticed?

Murder suicide is a thing?
Carbon monoxide poisoning?

Sounds like they have left in a hurry! Weird that they have left the car. Maybe they left it because the tire was flat and couldn't or didn't have time to sort it. It's definitely odd though

peridito · 15/01/2022 19:51

But if the car was leased or on a payment plan that they hadn't/couldn't keep up then they might want to try and escape bailiffs?

TheChip · 15/01/2022 19:52

Since the car door was open, could the house door be? If you don't hear anything from police, maybe drop a note through the letterbox. If you don't hear anything back from your note try the door?

I'm way invested in this now, any updates on this saturday evening OP?

Theimpossiblegirl · 15/01/2022 21:31

I hope they're ok.
It does all seem a bit odd.

marihen1 · 15/01/2022 21:39

Have the police been out yet?

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 15/01/2022 21:51

Maybe they didnt own the car and they've left it?

knark · 15/01/2022 22:51

Is this in York?

Northernlurker · 15/01/2022 23:59

Could be.....

DoTheyKnowItsLemonJuice · 16/01/2022 01:06

That’s so weird about the car :/

Skye85 · 16/01/2022 01:36

Whats happened in York?

daisiesonmydress · 16/01/2022 01:41

I can only see about a student going missing in York whose been tragically found dead

NinaDefoe · 16/01/2022 02:36

I hope the police have been.

Debsdonein · 16/01/2022 02:51

Doesn't sound good. Hope the lady is ok.

NinaDefoe · 16/01/2022 02:56

Police were at the York incident knocking on neighbour's doors before the OP's last post so can't be that.

Booklover3 · 16/01/2022 03:21

I don’t understand why they would leave their car.

Got me puzzled that has

uhohspaghettiohh · 16/01/2022 03:34

Try their front door, OP. How odd.

DropYourSword · 16/01/2022 03:39

Maybe something happened to all of them
