She's gone. As in she showed up with 4 girlfriends and cleared her stuff (best I can figure). Cracked a beer with the other neighbor last night and he tells me I've got the story all wrong. They were never together and she was basically a squat.
What?!? We went over and greeted them with a plate of cookies when they moved in. Back when it was him, her, and the boy. We gave them slices of my daughter's birthday cake. When there were three people there and they sure acted like a family. Of course that was before they had a teenage girl, an odd guy who spends the nights, and a boyfriend who might be there.
I'm trying to be polite but these aren't normal behaviors. I mean it's not like getting a little drunk at a cocktail party. Normal people don't have 10 cars visit in a day, have random numbers of people sleeping there, give false ideas about family structure, get arrested, need a small armada of ladies to pull out your clothes, on and on. It's not the next door neighbor who had a fender bender and came home grumpy.
I'm ashamed to admit it but I am recording license plates. The last renter was a train wreck but it was all domestic. This is more like a never ending parade. The Mrs. is having nightmares. But what more can I ethically do? I would feel like a waste calling the police without witnessing a real crime. And they've been there. They've seen the meth mouth and the jitters that made us nervous. It's a mess.
