He left this mid-morning in a white button down, red tie, and khaki pants. He came back an hour and a half later with a huge disposable aluminum tray with foil on top. Ideas? ---

He went to his storage unit to retrieve a scoped hunting rifle. Then he found a vantage point and popped a few people. Then he stopped by a Chinese takeout for a large tray of Family Style Tofu, which he will consume throughout the week. ---

He went to a church potluck, and got to take some leftovers home. ETA: Is this your crazy neighbour? Are YOU the crazy neighbour, **living\_in\_hell?** Why do you care where he went and what he did? ---

Well, when I saw him, he was carrying two Arby’s bags and a head of lettuce. No idea what happened to those. ---

Catty Whisperer: it’s lighthearted fun. Last I knew, that was the function of most online forums and definitely one called “The Straight Dope.” But given your desire to pounce, may I suggest you cut back on the catnip and clip your claws? ---

Sounds like he crashed a local wedding/baby shower and took the cake. Keep watching to see what happens. If his kids set up a cool aid and cake stand out front, I know I’m right. ---

Damn, I would never scope out a neighbor like that, but his style of dress does suggest evil doings, and the aluminum tray, with foil on top, has to be some sort of evidence he wants to hide. ---

Your neighbor is obviously up to no good. I suggest you discreetly tail him on his jaunts and report back. If he spots you, act nonchalant and start whistling show tunes. ---
