Man in a car parked outside my house all afternoon

Since at least 2 pm. Terraces with on street parked so directly outside the house. He is has just been sat there all the time, engine on for half an hour then off again, presumably to stop the battery draining if he is using something electrical.

There are plenty of car parks in the area so no reason to be here. He saw my come back and go in the house so presumably its nothing to do with me, but its freaking me out a bit (and pissed me off as I had to park on another road!).

We are not on a road with shops or a school or doctors etc so no reason to be waiting there for someone for such a long time!

Worth taking the reg in case he comes back tomorrow do we think?

It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who think that it is an offence for someone to park on a public highway,just because it happens to be outside their house. You don't own the road outside your house.

Process server waiting for someone to leave or come back to their house so he can hand over the papers.

It would be unusual for them to hang around that long. They have several to serve in a day all over the place and anywsy they can sometimes be served by subsistuted service unless things have changed. Used to work for process servers. If it's PI most likely surveillance.

I can't believe all the people saying mind your own business. If you were writing about a break in or God forbid murder in the street and wrote that you'd seen this car all day, people would be screaming why didn't you report it. If he's innocent, my guess he's using someone's unsecured Internet. I'd tap on his window, pretend to be concerned and say 'are you OK dear, I think the neighbour has called the police for a welfare check'

The man was literally sitting there minding his own business. Since when has that been a crime?

Where did I say it was a crime? The point I'm trying to make (badly obviously) is that there's no sense of community if people ignore things that are very obviously not the norm . Maybe you live in a street where a lot of strangers come and go but it clearly isn't usual for the OP. I'm really surprised that no one who has commented would be in the least bit curious or concerned if this happened outside their house. Where I live we look out for each other. I would definitely be taking notice if that happened outside mine or a neighbours house.
