In reply to the discussion: Any weird neighbor stories? [View all]ScreamingMeemie
(68,918 posts)47. Well...this man was my neighbor...

Woke up at about 4:15 to a helicopter hovering over my house and spotlights shining in my bedroom window.
The next neighbor story is actually weirdly sweet because it's not something you see anymore in modern suburbs:
The house next door is a white brick 2-story. All of our houses have fences alongside and across the back, except for theirs. They have side fences; no back fence. Their house backs to an identical white brick house (down to windows and floorplan). It's one giant family. They have a huge garden between their homes and about 8 little ones are growing up there. It's seems like it's four sets of grandparents, 6 sets of parents and all the kids (the houses are very large4000+ each). They get together outside often to sing and play, etc... It makes me wish I had eleventy billion bros and sis's and we all lived together and such...okay, not really, but it's sweet.

That sounds like something that could have been called into the police.
