I've seen so many strange things on my security camera. We live in an urban area and it's pretty quiet with just houses. But over the last 10 years it's gotten to be a worse area to live in. One reason is the people who moved in a couple of houses down from us are drug dealers and the people that live beside them are too, or at least we think they are doing some kind of shady deals. On the other side of us is a nicely kept house that no one actually lives in. The people who used to lived there passed away years ago and their family members kept the house and visit once a month or so. It's kind of weird but the house and yard is all well kept so I guess it's okay.
On the other side of us is a house that burned on Dec 23rd of last year. it didn't burn to the ground but it's not habitable anymore. The two people living there had to move out. The house or what is left of it is very close to our house and the windows are not properly boarded up. They have just put chicken wire over the smashed out windows. There is a garage on the property and we've seen one the druggie guys stealing stuff from it.
One would think that we have no one living on either side of us but that isn't the case. There is a daughter and her boyfriend who is living in a camper on the property. The truck and camper is crammed in on the other side of the property. I think the property is only about 50feet by 100feet big so not a lot of space between the house and the fence but they crammed a truck and camper in there a long time ago and now the daughter and weird boyfriend are living there. There is no power or toilet over there and the house can't be lived in because it is unsafe.
People have complained that someone is living on the property but they lie to the city people or police who come by. They also aren't always there so it's hard to catch them and then they just say they are checking the property or some such crap when we all know they are living there in a camper illegally. It wouldn't be so bad if the people they hung out with weren't thieves and drug addicts. We confronted one girl who jumped over out six foot fence into our back yard for what reason other than she said she coudn't get through the side porch to the alley and I guess figured she'd just detour through our yard. Or she was scoping out our yard to see if there was anything to steal later. Lucky for us we have nothing to steal that is worth anything although I've heard that won't really stop them.
So I've been watching the cameras more lately because some of the people you see out there are weird and scary. A couple of nights ago I hear a loud noise so I look at the camera. It's 11:30pm on a weeknight and some guy and woman are pushing a barbeque down the street in front of our house. Then a car stops on the other side of the road and they push the barbeque in front of our car and go over to the car to chat. The guy walks around the car front to back and then crosses the street between our two parked cars (we have to park on the street in front of our house) and toss something. I figured he as tossing a cigarette or something. In a million years you won't be able to guess what we found the next day behind our car.
My daughter and I went out to the car to go shopping the next morning to find what looked like a mass of hair on the ground which at first I thought was some kind of dead animal. On closer inspection it was one of those blonde clip on hair pieces for womens hair. What makes the story even weirder is the guy who tossed it took it off the back of the people's car he was talking to. When I watched the video again I could hear him say to his friend something like "it's still on there, do you want me to take it off?" Then he took it off the back of the car and tossed it between our cars. Like pushing a barbeque down the road at 11:30pm on a weeknight isn't weird enough already!
I'm going to start blogging these weird things I see on my video cameras because you just can't make this stuff up!
