novel fodder

I come out onto the porch, and there's a man in uniform (cop? animal control? fire? IRS?) standing next to a car in the neighbor's driveway. He sees me and asks, "Do you know a Deb who lives around here?" I answer, "No, I just moved in a few weeks ago. Sorry." He says something to his plainclothes companion and they get in their car and drive away. A few minutes later, my neighbor slowly pulls her car out from behind her house and drives away.

This opens things up for a whole lot of fantastical stories about the little old lady who lives next door...
