#NeighborhoodWatch: Is it important to inform my neighbor about the suspicious car that frequently passes by their house?
Context
Living in a closely connected community means looking out for one another. However, when faced with a potentially concerning situation, it can be tricky to decide whether to speak up or stay silent.
The Dilemma
You find yourself noticing a certain car that seems to drive by your neighbor’s house more often than usual. This raises red flags in your mind, but you’re unsure about whether or not to share this information with your neighbor.
Impact
Keeping quiet could potentially put your neighbor at risk, while speaking up could help prevent any untoward incidents from happening. The question remains – should you tell your neighbor about the suspicious car sighting?
Consideration
Before making a decision, consider these points:
– The safety of your neighbor and their property is paramount
– Communicating concerns can strengthen community bonds
– Your neighbor may appreciate your vigilance and concern
Action
If you believe there is a genuine need to inform your neighbor, have a friendly chat to share your observations. Approach the conversation with sensitivity and empathy, focusing on the importance of looking out for each other.

Remember, a small gesture of concern can go a long way in fostering a safer and more connected neighborhood. So, what will you choose to do in this situation?
How do you know the frequency he drives past the house? Do you often look out your window to relax after a long day of work?
Tell your neighbors. They might know why he’s doing it, and it might be totally innocent. And if it’s not innocent then they’ll want to know about it.
Yes
I’m having strange people driving past. Most is normal others are not.
I would mention it. Better to be safe than sorry yk? It would be one thing if he were doing it once in a while. But 3-4 times a week is excessive, especially twice a day. Not saying he’s gonna commit a crime or anything but you never know. atleast if you tell your neighbors, they’ll be aware
Be a good neighbor and let them know. If the situation was reversed, I bet you’d appreciate having a neighbor who informed you about a potential issue.
With that kind of frequency he’s probably still the owner and hired a leasing company to handle the rental duties. My brother’s neighborhood has several rental homes that are rented like that. Perhaps this guy just wants to make sure the house is not being mishandled.
I would want to know.
take pics if you can.
All I can say is that I was very grateful when my neighbors noticed a former neighbor watching me and pointed it out. I was able to get a no contact order from a judge, and eventually, he left me alone.
the way i’d look at it is i personally would definitely want my neighbors to tell me if they noticed. so i would say something!
i think you’d wanna know, too
better safe than sorry.
Maybe he hid some stach inside the house and is waiting for the right opportunity to sneak in and recover it.
That would be my first guess.
Could be money, drugs, an unregistered firearm, some blade used in a crime. It could be hidden on the wall, maybe on the ventilation or under the floor tile.
So, I would keep an eye out and let everyone know.
Maybe he moved somewhere nearby and still has to drive by? What would informing your neighbor do besides making them anxious? You don’t have any proof of anything.
I had a neighbor that watched a burglar enter my house through a side window, and later told me he didn’t call 911 because “it’s none of my business.” Don’t be that guy. Say something.
Mushroom lasagne no
First you didn’t take them cookies or muffins when they moved in? Where are your manners? Second, yes you need to tell them.
Yes
