Had I known that Nextdoor was around the corner, I would've invested everything into Ring doorbell cameras.

I forgot to post that here, but I think I tried sending that link to pplains on fb because of his love of neighborhoods

I learned of that account when they faved one of my Nextdoor tweets!
(Also, I never check FB messenger. Thanks though.)

I already mentioned the dead dog in the snow. This past month featured photographs of a dead puppy in a cardboard box that someone had dumped at the cemetery. And then there was the still-alive cat who was found with a massive head wound. That poster later came back and dared whomever it was that reported her to show their faces.

our latest big thread was people complaining about door to door energy salespeople and an actual guy who had the job for a few days explaining why he took the job (mostly bc poor, no transportation of his own to get a better one). it was sad.

Random guy at 1400 Uxxxx St asked me to make a quick call for him. I called XXX-XXX-XXXX with the speaker phone on. 'Katie' answered, and arranged to meet the guy outside as parents are home. 'Katie' asked the guy 'what do you need' to which the guy replied 'one,' at which point I cursed at the guy and hung up the phone. Guy kept walking up Uxxxx toward Cxxxxxx.Does anyone know this number or where they live so I can more effectively report this to the police?

Dog Tied to Tree?My neighbor has a dog tied to their tree. They work night shifts and I hate to disturb them so early but I also know, as animal lovers, they would not do this. EDIT: Just spoke with my neighbors. This is not their dog nor did they tie this dog up.
Is someone missing a dog?

Has anyone seen my tree, there was a dog tied to it last time I saw it.

We have a type of neighborhood watch, right now it’s me and 3 other people on Friday and Saturday 11pm to 5am and some of our older night owls who just watch from there darkened front windows, who call us.
Comment in response to a question about increased police activity in the neighborhood.

just had a lengthy neighborhood thread (deleted now): a woman said her son had found a corpse in a suitcase and was traumatized, and it took about fifty messages for someone else to chime in and say it was actually a live man sleeping *on* on ottoman. but that the guy who found him was indeed traumatized.
― omar little, Wednesday, 5 September 2018 05:56 (five years ago) link
the sleeping man was alive, but the Otto man was dead, right?

The facebook group for my local area has grown massively in the last few months. Amongst other things, the number of suspicious characters spotted from behind twitching curtains has of course exploded alongside this. Thankfully there is at least a small minority speaking up against the overzealous suspicion and paranoia.
I'm itching to post clips from Hot Fuzz, but am not sure the joke is worth the hassle that could ensue... "The Greater Good!".

The persistently terrible parking around us is bringing me to verge of posting sincerely in the above-mentioned Facebook local neighbourhood group. I'm resisting by meta-posting here instead. Might have to buy some variety of 'You Park Like A...' stickers.
