Things happen

We live in a nice quiet town. Low crime, nice well kept houses, beautiful parks, etc.

Last night, around 11PM, we heard some loud noises, BAM BAM  (no, no gun shots!). I looked out the window and something was going on at the house across from us.  I have written before about the cute nice guy that bought it, and how there always are a lot of expensive cars, and cute girls going in and out.

There were about 4 big SUV's parked in front of their house, with men coming out of it, some of them using a kind of ram to push the front door open -that accounted for the BAM noise- the men were carrying heavy duty flash lights. I put the leash on Lulu and walked outside to see what was going on. My next door neighbor was outside too and I went to talk to him. He told me he and his wife and kid were just coming home when some of the men came to talk to him and told them to get inside the house, because that was a drug bust! all the men in the SUV's were plainclothes police.

I went back inside too, but kept on looking out. At some point they had some of the people out by the garage with their hands up, another time it looked like they were doing something to one of the cars parked in the driveway, etc. It was close to 2AM when the big SUV's left.

This morning. The door of the house across the street had been broken, also the side window. I talked to several of the neighbors. It seems the police didn't find any drugs, just $1100 in cash, they didn't arrest anybody. But they totally trashed the house, the bedorroms were torn apart, clothes flying out of the window, the silver car in the driveway  had the upholstery torn apart etc.  The owner said to his next door neighbor that they were looking for the previous owner's daughter. Who knows!   All the neighbors think there's something going on, be it drugs or something else.

All I know is he's always been nice and friendly to us. But there's definitely something off about the whole set up. I'll keep you posted....
