So the guy next door (nice, super friendly, kind of crazy and obvious drug habit) hasn't been around for over a week and I've been concerned because no-one has moved any stuff out, he took his dogs, didn't ask me to keep an eye on the place etc and hasn't replied to texts..all out of character. Well we aren't best buddies or anything but we said hi every day, texted etc, and I felt kind of comforted by the fact that he was there and would have come running if there was ever a reason for me to scream kinda thing. We are friendly, as neighbours go.
Anyway it's been 10 days or so and his mother just turned up, told me he's done a runner and she doesn't know where he is, but that he's so drug addled that he thinks he's hiding from aliens etc, and also that the people he was constantly trying to keep out of the house with his barbed wire etc were all in his head she'd finally realised etc. I had wondered.
So, the house is being vacated and I guess that's it. Must admit I feel a little sad; being that he was a crazy addict I guess I'd gotten a bit attached to him lol! She was too angry to be worried but, I hope he's OK. He is kind hearted if a little nuts.
Oh please oh please of please let the new tenant not be a complete crazy pants. Please HP? Pretty please?

Sorry for your loss Mel - and even if he wasn't the perfect, ideal neighbor, he was your neighbor and you understood each other...
I too will pray that you have a lovely new neighbor - peaceful, pleasant and friendly as desired...
(((Hugs))) - I'll say prayers for him too - perhaps he'll find recovery! We never know when HP will 'do his thing'!!!
