This past weekend they were outside in burning dayligt! They were hurrying up and down the street like they were looking for something. My guess is their dog went missing as I didn't hear the little mutt barking. Wonder if someone slipped a note under the door that said, "Karlsens.

Don't exactly know it is, but it's an old tradition that doesn't make sense anymore. Anyway, these days it's for the kids to dress up and ring doorbels and smack the hell out of a barrel with candy inside. So, my 2 girls dress up as princesses and as they're only 5 and 6½ I go with them to go ring doorbells on our street, sing the fastelavns-song and hopefully they score some sweets. it was a sunday so most people are home. There's 8 houses, our own included, and only 2 of them had noone home. Oh but wait, let me make that 1 house. The Karlsens, they were home, but didn't answer the door. When my kids rang the bell I was standing on the sidewalk, and I clearly saw that douchebag in the window. When he saw the girls he closed the curtain, so we left. Maybe he's doing something suspicious in there? Maybe he's got someone tied up in the older cell.., attic (we don't have cellars).nondisclosed_email@example.com (DavePeterson)Thu, 05 Mar 2015 07:02:30 +0000 Re: My new neighbourhoodhttps://btheburbs.runboard.com/p20912,from=rss#post20912https://btheburbs.runboard.com/p20912,from=rss#post20912quote:DavePeterson wrote: "Oh look?

The creepy encounter was with the man of the house in early October. We were walking to the store to get some candy and we walked past their house, and there he was fixing the doorbell?

Hahaha, this is great! So the guy obviously is Hans Klopek but in Denmark he has a girlfriend. So you haven't been there on New Year's eve or took a little stroll? Would have been interesting to actually see them igniting the firework (probably also in a creepy way e.g. by not cheering / smiling at all while the rockets blow off).

I can give you a small update though. Their front yard doesn't look THAT messy anymore because of all the rain we've gotten in the past couple of weeks. That pile of rubble is now covered in plant life and the lawn is not brown/yellow anymore. The front yard is in need of a serious mowing though.

I walked past their house the other day. The front yard still looks like a mess, but they have removed a huge bush, so now I could peek into their backyard from the sidewalk. It looks nice, they actually have a lawn... and it looked mowed? Maybe they check out? But I haven't met them yet. Actually I haven't even seen anyone go in or come out of that house? They do have a car though. I will keep my eye on them.
