No way I would want that taking place in front of my house! There is a reason that she doesn't want her "clients" to know where she lives... it's dangerous for her and her family for them to know which house has all the drugs and money in it! Lucky for her they will now think she lives at your house, so her posessions and family are safe.
I would cal and make a report EVERY time I saw it happening. If any of your other neighbors are people you trust, then I would have them watching and calling, too. The more reports that come in, the quicker the cops will do something about it.
She did this in broad day light? Dang! You know usually people hate to be seen or acknowledged. Next time if you or DH is outside and sees her, maybe yell Hi such and such how are you? Yes, the cops may do drive bys, but they can't be there all the time.
I live on a cul de sac and a few years ago, there was a truck who didnt belong here pull up at my neighbor's house-which was empty and for sale-at night and they were stupid enough to have the interior light on and pass something back and forth. think whacky tabacky. So, I thought I would give them some more light. I got in my car and drove out of the driveway and parked in front of my house and had my high beams on them. They left real quick.
Our home is on a side street right off of a very busy road. There is a smaller side street right off of ours.
In the last few days, my DH has said that he has seen a woman from the smaller street walk up to a car that stops right in front of our house. (Two different cars). The lady goes up to the car's driver side window, chat for 10 seconds or less, exchange something, then everyone zips off.
I thought he was crazy but today, I saw it happen again. This time she went to the passenger side window. I saw her pick several small white objects out of her hand, give them to the passenger, and get some money in return. Then she walked back to her house (several houses away).
Well by now I am sure you're thinking what I am. I hate to be suspicious but I think drug deals are going on in front of our house. We have small kids and sadly, so does she.
DH called the police. Were we right to do that? We have no proof, but I think her behavior is very shady...
No I wouldn't have called, you really have no proof. You are probably 100% right what they are doing. I wouldn't have got involved
My DH is a police officer. We live at the end of a street that forms a V and continues into another street. We've lived at this house for 11 years and my DH knows EVERYONE'S car in our neighboorhood. If you don't look familiar, he'll stop you and ask why you're in our neighboorhood. We've had some people walking that try to cut through our neighboorhood into the land behind our lot. You can see the Walmart, Lowe's sign and such a small distance away. Nope, he'll turn them right around when he see's them. He'll remind them that the land is private property and cutting through would be against the law.
If you think this is going overboard, I've had my DH11's bike stolen from underneath my carport and witnessed 3 preteen boys steal a little girl's pink bike from my neighboor's house. I called them out on it but they ran. Just so happens my DH was getting off of work and was pulling into our subdivision when I called him to tell him what happened. He caught them and booked them.They were later released to their parents.
OP, the police will tell you to report any suspecious activity. You are doing the right thing. Also as klacey1 states, we have to take care of our own.
Yeah, I wouldn't answer your dh, he has no right to stop and question anyone that's just walking by.
