Do you think it is strange and should I say something?

I live in a nice area with tons of Craftsman homes. My neighbors who are very nice people in their late 60's went away for a week. They told me they'd have their son-in-laws sister and bf house sit for them because they have a cat. I've met girl who is in her mid twenties now. She has house sat for them for many years without any problems. Well, my neighbors left last Thursday morning and by that afternoon six cars with ten people pull up with blow up beds and laundry in hand. It's Sunday and all of these people haven't left the house except for a store run but the girl and bf have left for hours leaving these strangers in the house all day. Now, knowing my neighbors as well as I do I can't imagine them wanting this in their house. So the question is should I say something to my neighbors or should I stay out of it?

Btw, we have cameras with night vision all around our home because we've been broken into three times. We see everything.

The girl and bf { house sitters} are there . These are their friends. The cat is skittish of many people except for the girl but there's no way the cat is happy about this. I see the cat many time during the day but have not seen her since Thursday. My neighbors are on the east coast should I call their cell?

I agree with other posters that said this could be a security threat to the homeowners. I'd be very concerned. It sure doesn't sound like responsible behavior on the part of the housesitters.

Does anyone really think that the homeowners would agree to let the house sitters do this?

by Anonymousreply 20October 5, 2015 3:40 AM

Since you have their cell number, I would call. Explain what you've seen, and that you weren't sure if this was pre-arranged or OKed them before hand, but at the risk of something happening to their house or cat, you felt you had to speak up.

by Anonymousreply 21October 5, 2015 3:44 AM

OP there are consequences to everything. For every action a reaction. I would definitely tape the goings on and I would get licesnse numbers. I would do it as discreetlly as possible and do not let anyone know you're doing it. There is no reason for you to call police unless you witness unlawful activity. Give every appearance of MYOB.

WHen your neighbors come home, if they bring it up, say something to them fairly neutral, like they had a lot of company,but be vague. The main thing is if your neighbors discover something bad happened, and start asking you, you can say that you felt uncomfortable so you took some precautions,but there wasn't much you could do ybder the law. I just think you need to err on the side of discretion. Right now, there's really nothing going on that's illegal that you know of. I think the best thing to do is stay out of it, but remain vigilant. Be careful.

I have great neighbors who look out for eachother's places when they're gone. I'd want one of them to call me if this was going on in my house while I was away. I know they would call me the minute things looked out of the ususal pattern. I'd just call them and let them now that about 10 people are in their house, and is that what they'd planned for? It's up to them to decide what to do, but I'd offer to be of any help. They can call the police, and you could be there to meet them to discuss the problem, with the owners on the phone talking to the police.. That's being helpful and not intrusive.

I CAN'T believe that nobody has basically said to Mind Your Own Business, so I'll more or less do so: Unless they asked you to keep an eye out - and especially since they have designated house sitters who are actually there (albeit taking advantage of the situation) - mind your own fucking business.

If there is damage or theft, the house sitters will be held accountable. They are extended family, after all.

If they had mentioned that the sister in law and bf would be house sitting - and then you hadn't seen any sign of them, then yes a phone call might have been warranted. But that isn't the situation you've described.

Yes my neighbors always tell me and my husband to keep an eye out and we ask the same when we go out of town. As I said we have lots of break in my part of town but our city LOVES to sweep them under the "Mayberry" rug.

by Anonymousreply 36October 5, 2015 5:00 PM

Well, OP, you needn't get upset or indignant with us. You posted, and asked our opinion AND our advice. Since you already knew what you wanted to do, all you really wanted was for someone to confirm the rightness of your actions. But the fact is, I happen to think R29 gave you the best advice. The fact is, you're a nosy neighbor and you really want to stir up some shit and find out what happened. But your neighbors didn't ask for your involvement, so you should stand down.

If you must "do something" then document the activity, and wait to determine if your neighbors raise it when they get home. Then you can be helpful. And if you neighbors ask why you didn't call them, you can say, " well since it was family and they'd done it before, I thought you had worked things out with them." As far as your neighbors are concerned, it would've been nice if they had said something to you before they left town along the lines of ""I hope you'll keep an eye on things and call us if you notice anything out of the ordinary." But they didn't.

If you have been neighbors for a while and have gotten on well with these neighbors, then I think you owe them a call.

If they already know and have approved of the air mattress crowd, they will not fault you for your concern. IMO anyone here who says butt out is trolling and doing you a disservice.

One thing OP. If the girl and her friends were up to no good, your neighbors will find out when they get back, obviously. So one can assume the girl will tell them she wasn't around when it happened and knows nothing. Either that or she will stage a break in, then tell the neighbors that someone broke in whiel she was at work or school or WTFever..

It's meant to add character to the Especially Scintillating Tale, R117 -- a random fact that might take off in the comments and turn this into an epic thread. It's just that OP wasn't subtle about it, and that kind of thing hasn't been effective on DL for a couple years now, maybe longer.

It has occurred to me that OP may be one of those assburger folks who doesn't have much in the way of outfits - you know, one of those spartan fellows who owns nothing more than seven pairs of black pants, seven purple polo shirts, seven pairs of Hanes undies, seven pairs of white socks, eight pairs of hushpuppy shoes, and one puffy jacket.

I'm sorry, OP. Please forgive me. You may go back to dusting your action figures.

[quote]I think OP was attempting to show us that this is a nice neighborhood and these obese oafpeople were conspicuous.

As if OP is an ounce under 300 pounds.

It seems pretty obvious that the strangers were 20-somethings over at the neighbor's house doing laundry for free. OP even said it was laundry at first, then later lost his little mind and said these "oafs" were moving in. And "going through their mail" is almost certainly "looking at the letters and catalogs after taking them out of the mailbox," not "opening the mail and stealing their Social Security checks."

The neighborhoods of Craftsman (and knockoff) homes in my town are all in older areas, usually near pretty major streets and parks, with a lot of the larger homes divided into apartments. Extra people aren't really as noticeable as you'd think.

by Anonymousreply 138October 6, 2015 4:20 PM

r138 - it doesn't matter WHAT they were doing you half-wit, the owners never gave the cat sitter permission to have visitors over, period, much less a group of 10 people move in. The owners were shocked and horrified as was explained, yet you're still trolling and you look like you have no comprehension skills whatsoever.

I don't live in a Craftsman home, but I have known some Craftsmen.

Look. If OP called the owners and the owners contacted the relatives of the girl, and raised hell, then it makes sense that the cars would all leave. I have to wonder if these people have jobs. The other thing I wonder is if this is a band of gypsies who clean out houses in the absense of the owners.

Nobody likes a tattle-tale, but I'd rat on the neighbors' son-in-law's sister (whatever the fuck the relation) in a second. Nobody wants a house sitter who brings an opium den of air-mattress buddies to camp out in one's house -- Craftsman style or otherwise.

I'd ask your neighbors if they found everything okay with their house on returning home - saying that you noticed loads of people carrying things in and out and were worried for a bit until you recognized their trusted cat sitter. Leave it to them to ask for more details or not.
