That does sound like great entertainment from a distance!
Looking back over group texts with neighbors, I’ve noticed that the last major shipment/redistribution happened mid-July. So if they average major operations once every three months, it should be quiet for at least another two weeks. My theory is holding up so far because we didn’t get a SINGLE expensive car drive-by on our street last night. Pattern seems to be as they ramp up for a shipment, we get 3-5 expensive car drive-bys during normal waking hours (more when we’re asleep). I’m wayyyyyyy back in my neighborhood, so for Teslas and Audis and Mercedes to be coming to my street with purpose, staring right at this house, turning around and still staring at it, and then they speed off making a bee line for the front of the neighborhood…they’re not window shopping for design ideas.
I bet once I start seeing drive-bys again that they’ll be prepping for the next shipment of whatever it is. And then I’ll know that I can’t let my kids play out in the front yard until all of that business is done again.
In the meantime…while it’s quiet…I really appreciate whoever the Good Samaritan is who is doing super easy landscaping clean up in front of that house. It wouldn’t take much to take off the “eyesore” factor and also eliminate the “oh, look how run down this house is and yeah, contractors who never make any hammering, sawing, music playing noise totally need to be there at frequent 45 minute intervals because it just needs so much work” story doesn’t hold so much easy belief.
@T1Allison you could always install cameras to record people and vehicles. License plates and faces are especially enticing to LEOs when you happen upon one at the coffeeshop and just happen to mention the “house”. Seeing patterns on camera helps provide necessary evidence for search warrants (personal experience).
Two neighbors from opposite side of the ‘hood whom I’ve never seen before stopped to chat with me and my next door neighbor last night about the two weird houses on my street. I got more history on it that’s probably true. Those neighbors were out walking and fully examined the outside of the abandoned house and the contents of its busted open mailbox. So in other words, another normal night on my street.

Long game.
