In a disused lavatory in the basement? Does the door have a sign saying "Beware of the leopard?"

So, there I was, pulling weeds in the front yard, when a U-Haul pulled up next door. Some people that I didn't recognize put some stuff in it, but surprisingly little, more stuff in the back of a pickup, but still not very much, and then pulled a boat out of the garage with a few things in that.

Did our neighbor's kid stay there temporarily with his small family? Why didn't the neighbor help them move or see them off?

Is the house vacant?

The friendly neighbor on the other side was out front, so I asked if he knew anything.

No.

I later saw that the neighbor on the other side [of the possibly-vacant house] was in his yard so I asked him.

He never met her.

I mentioned to the friendly neighbor that the other house was a vacant rental and he responded "Oh really?! My son is looking for a place to rent! I will have him give them a call!"

So, maybe that opportunity will go to someone else, but perhaps there is another even closer. I got on my laptop to update you guys and happened to see that a new house posted on Zillow. It sounds like it is also outside of town, but it is only a few miles away.

Zillow said the ad was 13 minutes old.

There was another new posting, but it was a two-bedroom.
