not a Neighbourhood Watch as such but a 'Neighbourhood Forum'

We have a very nosy neighbour who's only too happy to keep an eye on the place while we're away, and a not so nosy one who empty's the postbox and puts rubbish in our bin!

Sort of. I live in an apartment building, so our building maintenance and security team keep an eye on things both inside the complex and also the surrounding area.

I do sort of agree that "neighbourhood watch" can sort of equate to "nosy neighbours", but I do think it's nice for neighbours to keep an eye out for each other.

We have Neighbourhood signes on the lamp posts but never heard anyone mention it, if near neighbours go away we watch on for each other.

I got arrested for watching my neighbours.

Not my fault if they leave the curtains open and I happened to find a webcam in my hand.

May be I shouldn't have used my real name when I uploaded it to "naked.neighbours.com".

I try and keep a look out.
Well I have about 6 house keys for neighbours.
I take in post and parcels for them, well the posties just bring them here! :lol:
The kids come here if they have forgotten their keys etc
Come here if they need some help.

I think its good.

Looks like I could do with a neighbourhood watch.

Someone just tried breaking into my apartment. Ever so slightly shook up at the moment.

I'm fine, fortunately they didn't get in.

Well, I'm shook up but that's nothing a stiff drink won't fix.

Just waiting for the police to arrive, not that I can sense them being able to do much.
