Suspicious House

[Anonymous]

It’s weird. Has been for years. OP, ignore the trolls. If you see something, say something. Let what’s left of the criminal justice system sort it out.

He's been there for years and the windows have been blacked out for years, that and the bubble security cameras caught my attention. Otherwise the house looks ordinary. They have paved parking spaces behind the house. The cars come around back.

Sounds like a diplomat, maybe — one who wants privacy.

Do you know any of their next door neighbors or the neighbor across the street? They might know more than you.

The paved parking spots makes me think it's a business, most likely an illegal business. Brothel? Meth lab? Definitely something shady is going on.

I'd keep watching and make it obvious that I've taken notice and am watching.

Because perhaps the OP is worried at some sort of terrorist cell? It's completely relevant.

Right. She's racially profiling. She's a racist.

She is observant. She noticed this person looked male. That's an observation not sexism.

Just stop. She "observed" that the man looked middle eastern. She considers that to be relevant. That, by definition, is racial profiling.

Ok! So what? Do you think trying to call someone out for what you decide is racial profiling does ANYTHING besides make you appear naive and willing to ignore potentially dangerous situations for fear of seeming racist?

Because there's nothing to see here except a middle eastern man. RACIST

I haven't seen any kids or women. I have seen him outside briefly, he seems clean and dressed in normal clothes. He looks normal but the house looks like a fortress.

I'm sad that you would immediately connect a Middle Eastern man with sexual abuse of women. That's really, really, offensive.

My next door neighbor lives alone and has lots of security cameras. He used to work in government surveillance, and he's a little... quirky and rigid. I really don't think he's abusing women in there.

We're not trolls. If OP had left out the ethnic origin of the homeowner, we would have responded to the actual topic. But we cannot let such racial discrimination go unchecked.

OP, I'm looking for an apology.

Racism against Arabs and Muslims is the most unacknowledged type of racism there is in the United States.
Also, know that "Middle Eastern" looks exist across all the countries that border the Mediterranean, Northern Africa, as well as the Middle East and Central Asia, AND encompass certain people of Jewish ancestry. I am French, and in southern France, some French people look like that without having a recent ancestor that came in from Africa or the Middle East. We've had centuries of people-mixing in the Mediterranean basin.
If you are referring to "Middle Eastern" looks in this context, I'll wager that you don't actually understand how common it is, and you don't actually know where this person originates from.

Thank you. These posters (and OP) are blind to their racism. I guarantee you the responses would be different if OP said the homeowner was a white woman.

Speculated ethnic origin based purely on his appearance. Scary brown people living in houses.

Maybe ICE should look at that house.

Telephone substation?

No it probably wouldn't have if they wrote woman

Every windows including the ones around the front door have black shades that are never up. Every window is black. There are several professional looking security cameras. Cars park around back out of site of the street. People must enter through the back door, never seen the front door open. There is a middle eastern looking man in late 40s who may be the owner and I've seen him for years. Other men come and go, often quickly, maybe delivery people.

In my imagination I fear that there are women imprisoned in this black hole of a house or they are doing something illegal. Should I report it? Who to call?

Could be Gov/CIA etc. type safehouse or spy house. etc.

Take some cookies over and see if you can get invited in.
