Ok, I know speculating is not good, but anyone want to give it a go...
I do live in a nice neighborhood, but here's what went down last month.
We were heading out, and at the main road saw our neighbors pulled over with a cop. Just figured they had a fender bender or got pulled over for something minor. We come back a few hours later and they are still there, but the grandmom's car is there (the neighbors are mom, dad, 2 y/o boy...grandmom is the mom's grandmom. We've met her before). So they are transferring the baby seat to grandmom's car. We figure whatever happened, their car was not drivable and they were stick there waiting for a ride, although it's odd because they live like 4 blocks away, could have walked.
A few hours later we see that his car is back in the driveway.
The next night, in the middle of the night (1am), the neighbor's house is surrounded by cops banging on the door, shinning flashlights in. Neighbor's car is still there. Cop stay ALL NIGHT waiting, banging, searching woods behind all the houses on our block.
For the next few days a cop sits on the end of the block watching. A bucket is put in front of the door, so if the front door opens the bucket will move. Another neighbor asks what's going on, and the police wont say. No amber alert is done, so we ruled out any kind of custody / kidnapping issue. Our other neighbor says he hear the wife yelling earlier that night (we were not home at this time) that she would get a restraining order. So other neighbor thinks its domestic violence.
So after a few days, the cops stop coming around. We notice about 4 days later, a truck drives by, slows down in front of the house, beeps as it does, circles the block, stops in front of the house, and a guy gets out, gets in the neighbors vehicle which has been sitting there since the day everything went down. The guys (not the neighbor) leave with the neighbor's car.
Then a few days later some guys come with a truck, drop off out door furniture and load the back of the pick up with lots of personal belongings. Hubby and I recognize the guy, he is a friend of the neighbor guy. We have seen him before.
A few weeks go by. Hubby and I think they might have been caught selling drugs because we knew they had a history of drug use (but were long since clean) and that they were months behind on their rent. But nothing is in the paper and around here every thing drug related would be published. We figure it can't be a rent issue because why would the cops be involved, and there is no sigh of landlord.
So like 2 days ago, the neighbor lady's grandmom pulls up in front of our house (so not in their drive way) and goes in their house and starts loading in personal stuff and baby stuff. In the passenger seat is the neighbor lady. She is wearing sun glasses, and looks right at our window and pulls her hood up over her head and pulls her hair over her face....The grandmom stuffs the car and trunk with stuff and they leave.
Then yesterday neighbor guy's friend comes back, loads up a table, and leaves.
What the heck is going on? Every scenerio that hubby and I can think of doesn't make sense for one reason on another. If they are wanted, we have no way of knowing. It is sooooo weird!
Normally I mind my business, and I am as I did not go out side at anytime and try to ask the visitors or the grandmom what's going on, but its freaking me out a little!
Anyone have any thoughts? If it were domestic violence, why would she be hiding? And why are they not coming back to the house? It does not appear to be a rent/losing home issue, though I expect that's going to happen soon.
