there has been two people sat in a car outside my house for 83hrs

[StateofConfusion]

Possibly longer

Its really starting to bother myself and dp.

Should I do something?

I've got it It's their camping holiday!

How about silently offering them a roll of bin bags?

They could poo in them.

According to all maps and sat nav we live in a forest, maybe they're lost?
There's a large cluster of trees behind the houses and dotted all over the estate, its kind of strange.

Yep that's it, they think there at centre parks.

Where are they going to the loo?

go out and check whether there's a film crew around - could be they are shooting a gritty docu-drama that will win a BAFTA????

imperial I have no idea

nigella I've walked around a bit, school run, going to the green and play area etc, pretty sure there's nothing else strange occuring.

Were just hours away from a full week now.

Well, I would go and get my hair done, then phone a newspaper!

Good god is this still going??!

yes State tuck a black bin liner under the wiper, they might take the hint.

When's bin day for you? Best not do it till the day they come to collect or it'll be festering in the street for a week!!

they think they're at centre parks

I have no idea when bin day is dp does the bins

Dp took ds to school today and I got a message, "windows open music on, movement, maybe they're spring cleaning?"

Well the car vanished for around an hour, its back now.

Dps rang 101 again and they've said again they'll contact the council.
Let's hope it is all as innocent and silly as it seems to me.

You know, if you say that you are worried about the safety of a minor who has been living in a car for a week, you might get more reaction from the police.

I know you think he is over 18, but how can you be sure...?

Hope they haven't read the centre parcs thread

OP, do they leave the car and come back? Has it ever been driven in that time? Is it the same people in there all the time?

Maybe there should be a sweepstake on how long they're going to continue living in the car.

They will get a council house soon,to trash.

At what point will it be a full week in there?

Beachy.OMG.Retinal surgery please.

Its a full week now.

One lad is always there, he has left it occassionaly but never more than an 1hr.

He has driven off in it once, as has whom we believe is his mum.

Do be aware I occasionally stop snooping and sleep, interact with my dcs so of course I could miss him coming and going.

That said me and dp keep unsociable hours and unless he's only sleeping in the house between 3 and 6am, which I doubt, he's sleeping in the car.

This evening, all the windows are open and he's laying on the grass beside.

He seems quite happy with it all strangely!

You STOP SNOOPING sometimes?

What about your duty to us???

I'm sorry kenobi but occasionally the thought crosses my mind that whilst I'm snooping someone is snooping on me and the dcs raiding the kitchen bin for there next meal whilst i twitch the curtains, and they will jump to the conclusion that I have a deep rooted love for double glazing.

Perhaps they couldn't afford a hotel for a family wedding and have lost their wallet

We once went camping and whilst sitting in our car rather bored one windy evening the 2 guys were smoking joints and friend and I just got accidentally stoned someone arrived with an old cortina and an awning.
Never seen the like. they pitched it across the car, then, whilst she was inside presumably setting up beds in boot? he was pegging it down. Became apparent she was trapped inside. Omg I don't know how we didn't die of laughter, he had to unpeg and help her out the window, they then went off to the pub, as they nonchalantly strolled off he pointed a remote over his shoulder and BOINK . . . . Car/tent alarm was set.
Sooooooooo wish I could remember where the photos are!!

Maybe this is their son?

smeared we've seen him around plenty since moving here, and the cars always been around.

QOD that sounds hilarious and interesting at the same time, I want to see that, I really do. Dp wants to offer them dds ninky nonk pop tents, just for a change of scenery.

Best thread on MN today, all week in fact, good job I only just found it as no work would have been done otherwise.

There's been shouting outside and dp won't let me go and look, he's said ill end up getting shouted at or worse.

I tried saying I need something from the car. He's hidden the keys.

Sayes its for my own good, and mumsnets a terrible influence on me!

--ill give it a minute and go peer out the bathroom window--
