Why does his Google history show he was at an industrial estate at night

Last night I was on Dh’s phone-not snooping…initially at least. I was turning lullaby music off that he and our dc had fallen asleep to.
It showed the travel history of where he’d been/been driving etc. I just thought it was quite interesting at first, don’t think I have it on my phone or if I do, no idea how to access it! I started looking and it was all pretty boring-travel to work, certain shops, cafes etc, a friends house. One entry from last Sunday shows him going out in the evening driving for 30 minutes, it says here no location/location not shown. Then from around 10.30-11.30 pm, it shows a location and when I looked at it, it’s an industrial estate. This is really strange isn’t it?! Making me so paranoid, what would you make of it?

Any chance that a food van might park up there in the evening?

Industrial estates are prime prostitution spots tbh!

Slightly odd you didn't know where he was going (even with the whole alternating bedtimes) at that time at night.

Nachosanddips · 06/07/2024 17:12

@MounjaroUser Would a drug deal
take an hour? He’s not into drugs aside from occasionally smoking weed, is usually only from a friend so this would seem weird

So he thought he fancied taking in the ambience of an industrial estate and savouring a dirty burger for an hour?

RomanRoysSearchHistory · 06/07/2024 17:12

I'd install.a dash cam asap and see if there's any resistance...

Wtafdidido · 06/07/2024 17:12

Prostitutes

Nachosanddips · 06/07/2024 17:13

@keylimedog Do you mean women are walking around there or taken there?

RivkaTheBold · 06/07/2024 17:13

I think he was having sex with a prostitute.

What do you think?

I also think it's weird to go out for an hour or two late at night when your partner is asleep. To his 'friends'.

Smithhy · 06/07/2024 17:14

What industrial estate is it? Maybe the Mumsnet hive can find what goes on there after hours!

Nachosanddips · 06/07/2024 17:14

@RivkaTheBold He does go to his friends, shows on map several times and I know them well, they have young kids, the guy doesn’t like to go out to a drink/bars etc, that part is true and ok

Ask him.

Our local kebab van is on the industrial estate in our little town.

Nachosanddips · 06/07/2024 17:10

@AhBiscuits So to take a prostitute there?

Or pick one up

Mrsttcno1 · 06/07/2024 17:16

Is there a takeaway nearby? Could he just have got some food and sat in the car there to eat and have a bit of peace and quiet?

If not then yeah maybe to pick up drugs or meeting someone in the car. Dogging I would think is unlikely there as (at least where we are) the industrial estates are covered in CCTV

Crushedcandy · 06/07/2024 17:16

Don’t go off the deep end just yet OP. That locations app isn’t always entirely accurate.

Dinnerdinnerchickenwinner · 06/07/2024 17:17

The key thing here is where did he say he was going? I have been known to drive to places just to have an hour's peace from the kids, so could he have done that?

Thetroutofnocraic1 · 06/07/2024 17:17

What’s in the industrial estate ? It’s a bit odd but I wouldn’t jump to conclusions just yet. Also could he have been in a location adjacent to the industrial estate like a supermarket ? Sometimes google is a bit off with these locations

TheShellBeach · 06/07/2024 17:17

BigAnne · 06/07/2024 17:14

Ask him.

There was no need to quote the whole of the OP.

Sandwichgen · 06/07/2024 17:17

Can you check bank transactions for that date and time?

Treacletoots · 06/07/2024 17:17

I think it's time to do a little bit more digging OP. He's clearly up to something unsavoury and you need to know what he's up to before he tries to bullshit/gaslight you.

MounjaroUser · 06/07/2024 17:17

There will only be a food van if there are people about. Is that likely on an industrial estate late at night?

Where would he normally get a takeaway?

Is this place on the way to his friend's house or completely out of the way?
