Scary NeighboursMy immediate neighbours are lovely. But the next house down from that? Crimminy biscuits - he's a 70 year old taxi driver who loves to tell me at length about the people he's put in hospital and how Soho is "run by Maltese ponces." How scary are your neighbours?

LenMy best friend had a creepy neighbour. When we were in grade seven, after my friend first bought glasses, we were sitting on my friend's front lawn, and Len called the police on us. He hadn't recognised my friend with his new glasses.
The guy moved in with a wife and son. The son was taken away after the wife tried to kidnap him. I don't know where they are now.
One time my friend's mom saw the guy taking huge stacks of plywood into his home. She asked him "What are you doing?" and he said "Making shelves."
Finally, the weirdo moved out a few years ago, and the neighbours all got a chance to see inside the place. There was apparently one room filled to capacity with plywood boards. He was a pack rat who kept everything, including newspapers. The grass in the backyard was knee-deep. I have a picture somewhere and I'll see if I can find it.
