Sordid Suburbia

[MetalMilitia]

My neighbor is fat, 50+ years old and decidedly dodgey. With that in mind I found it particularly strange that some months ago a young-ish looking, non-English speaking Thai woman moved in with him. Now it's easy to jump to conclusions in these situations so without further ado I concluded that he had purchased a Thai bride from the Internet. Or did he? Yes he probably did.
Anyway, The plot thickens. I was told today that about a month ago he and one of his friends (which I regularly see coming and going from his house) had decided to visit Thailand. With what purpose I hear you ask? Well, I don't think it would be unreasonable to assume it included prostitution, sex slavery or all of the above. Either way that isn't the really interesting part. Near the start of this trip his friend died and no one who knows him will say how it happened. It doesn't take a huge stretch of the imagination to suppose that he met a grisly demise at the hands of a disgruntled hooker or something equally sordid. What's even more odd is despite the guy dieing, my neighbor is still over there doing god knows what with god knows whom.

It amuses me no end that things like this actually happen in real life but being so close to home it's rather disturbing.

Which leads me to the point of this thread; Does anyone else have any stories of odd goings-on around were they live?
