TwinkleTwinklyStars · 14/03/2012 18:15

if they havent left the car since monday where are they getting food/drink from?

and where the hell are they going to the toilet?!?

south345 · 14/03/2012 18:19

Ring the police!
And let us know what happens of course!

NarkedPuffin · 14/03/2012 18:20

I hope that there are two unrelated answers to your questions Twinkly

CointreauVersial · 14/03/2012 18:27

That's just weird.

Perhaps they're watching yooooo......

Cheddars · 14/03/2012 18:27

You have to find out why they're there. Go on, go on, go on!

chocolateandcoffee · 14/03/2012 18:33

perhaps it's just teenagers listening to music and looking cool in some old banger they bought for £20 and you neighbour is one of their mums going out to nag them.

that used to happen a lot where i used to live. It was a bit rough there too tbh

I've just caused DD to have a screaming fit at me whilst I held the laptop higher and higher out of her reach while I read this...

Now I must know why they are outside. I second the offer that if you live near me, I'll ask them.

Wherabouts are you? ;)

chocolateandcoffee · 14/03/2012 18:34

Forgot to say check at 3am, bet there is no one in the car then

OnTheBottomWithAWomansWeekly · 14/03/2012 18:43

Change your wi-fi name to something like "Police mobile surveillance unit 83, location (name of your road)"

If they have smartphones (quite likely if teenagers) it'll come up on their phone and might trigger some movement!

StateofConfusion · 14/03/2012 18:59

Hi, sorry had to pop out.

Well I did my reversing and they hid Hmm
I'm putting my not so lovely 3yo to bed and ill call 101 if she ever goes to sleep.

Dp was out at the car after 11pm last night and they were still there, ill try and stay up stupidly late and go look.

Honey I don't know what posessed me but I've taken a photo, albeit blurry. Ill post shortly.

The DSS use an empty car with cameras all over it, so unlikely to be the fraud squad. Plus there is no way DWP would authorise that much overtime.

MidnightWorry · 14/03/2012 19:02

dont post it up, you wouldnt want it done to you.

Id just go over and knock on the window

StateofConfusion · 14/03/2012 19:11

Can't see a reg or anything, I wouldn't do that, and since 90% of the houses here are identical it gives nothing away.

I really want to go and knock on the window but I'm new here and its um, a hard community to blend into, were the odd ones out already.

PassTheBaileys · 14/03/2012 19:26

Just knock you big wuss! Grin

ggirl · 14/03/2012 19:31

Could ther be homeless and living in the car?

StateofConfusion · 14/03/2012 20:05

Well I've just been out putting some things in the garage, two lads wandered back from the green behind the houses and got back in the car, older child sulking seems the most likely story.

OP posts:
FriskyBivalves · 14/03/2012 20:30

But where does the vigorous fornicating fit in then??

Cheddars · 14/03/2012 20:45

They've sat there for 3 days waiting for a sulky teen? Confused

AwkwardMary · 14/03/2012 21:12

Who is a sulking child? Them? Or someone else? Confused

lazymonkeyface · 14/03/2012 21:14

marking place

swooosh · 14/03/2012 21:19

How odd though. The inside of that car must be unspeakably unpleasant by now.

BlueAndRedMakePurple · 14/03/2012 21:49

I'd guess they've been made homeless and have nowhere else to go Sad
