After taking these, I realized they are nothing really to look at.

Regardless, the house is pretty expensive. I would say about $600K-$700K in this neighborhood.

Cool pic of a branch.

Hehe :)

The fence is there so I can't really do much.

Wow the fence is doing it's job. Damn pay $600-$700K for a house and they got you running around with a Digicam. :)

Yeah. And I'll probably find a knife in the backyard pick it up right when the police show up and knock down the front door. :p

How hard is it to bust down the damn door? If that was one of my neighbers, I would have busted it down already.

Back when I was at Home Depot, I called a customer who was over a month late picking up his $8k door. When I called him to see what was up, all I got was a wierd disconnected signal. I called the operator int hat area code, who determined that it was not disconnected, but that domething was physicly wrong with the line. The Operator then called another line in his home, which had the same thing. So Ic alled the cops in the town thinking something bad was going on (like a break in) , and they said they would investigate. About 45 minutes later I get a call from the guy, pissed off as all hell. Between the cops and him, aparently the cops had gone to his door, didn't get an answer but heard something "funny" going on inside. So they busted the door in, and found him and another guy getting it on in the kitchen. The guy yelled at me for like 30 minutes, then I handed him off to my boss (who knew I was callin the fuzz) so he could get yelled at too. Everyone in the store thought it was great :)

Shutter speed was 1/4 of a second with no tripod.

I don't have a wide enough view to make the pic interesting at night.

Maybe the house payment is too expensive and they leave the door open for cheap cooling?

BTW OP, rent 'Arlington Road'.

I spoke to another neighbor on the commute in who also called the cops.

She also said it was strange. Our theories are that the family took off on a vacation and left the dog behind. They left the TV on to pretend as if they were home along with the lights.

The other theory is that they are dead.

something seems really fishy...

you guys have to go during the day or something and ring the doorbell to the max. Do something because something doesn't seem right here...

That theory doesn't explain the mysterious vanishing and disheveled dog.

I think the police department got so many calls they may have had the health department take the dog away.

Either that or the dog is dead too.

The Russian family were actually geneticists working for a cure on a highly contagious &amp; fatal virus when all went awry. It escaped &amp; took them out, dogs and cats have a long incubation period in which to spread it, but in humans it is often fatal within 6 hours.

Sleep tight :evil:

I think I figured out what happened to Doggiedog.

He went home and had no news on his neighbor and was concerned about the dog. He decided to go look for himself since the lights and TV were still on and the dog was still outside. He grabbed his trusty spatula on the way out in case he needed to defend himself or ward off any evil flying grilled cheeses that mights appear. Anyways, he heads next door and rings the bell. There is no answer. He decides to look around the house to see if he can see anyone inside. He piled a lawn chair on top of a patio table to get a look in a second story window. The cheap chair gave way and he fell down and hit his head. Bleeding and suffering from amnesia, he headed down the street to the local Krispy Kreme in hopes of finding a friendly police officer to help him out. Turns out that a gang of Hell's Angels had overran that Krispy Kreme and had killed all of the police officers that were there. Now in his state of disillusion he didn't realize what was going on, and also forgot why he was there. He ordered a couple of original glazed and headed out. His next best bet was to find an animal control officer to deal with the disorderly dog. He heads to the local Chinese restaurant's dumpster because the animal control officers are usually back there playing "guess the cat bone." He doesn't find any help there, but does find a very pretty Chinese girl. They hit it off and head out for drinks. They down a couple of mai-tai's. But then the alcohol aggravates his head injury and things start getting weird on him. He realizes that the pretty Chinese girl is actually a clown who's real name is George. Doggiedog gets mad at himself and the clown and whips out the spatula. The bartender sees him wielding the weapon and clubs him over the head with a fifth of Parrot Bay. The crappy liquor mixed with the added blunt trauma was just too much for poor Doggiedog. He is resting comfortably in a hospital not far from his house.

The moral of the story is:
Please buy decent lawn furniture.


Best post ever. You win!

This whole story is starting to remind me of that movie The Burbs with Tom Hanks. You got the weird family who moved in down the street and strange things and sounds happen to come from the house. Neighbors are suspect and begin "investigating" the family by snooping around the property. Soon there will be a large explosion and they'll show up from vacation in their broke down '75 Caddy with a bunch of bones stuffed in the trunk.
