re: Next door neighbor horror stories

Best I've got but nothing wild...


A small family moved next door to us at one point.

Fast forward a couple years and the wife leaves the husband and takes the kid. He was a nice guy but it was pretty clear he wasn't taking the divorce very well, no visible issues with drinking or anything like that, but you could tell he was down.

Next thing you know his truck stops showing up at the house and this goes on for months and months. Another neighbor started collecting/holding his mail but no one ever came around. I'd even cut the grass occasionally so that it didn't look completely abandoned, I legit started to wonder if he'd offed himself.

I had remembered him once telling me he managed a restaurant so one day I decided to go by and see if anyone there knew anything. Turned out he had stolen ~$25,000 from the restaurant and was arrested and put in jail. The house went into foreclosure a short time later.
