Opposite where I live there is a row of terraced three storey houses (or Barratt hutches) and they have the posh title of 'town houses'. They were built about five years ago and all but the one opposite me is rented out, usually on a six month lease and all of them are let furnished.
Because they are on short rental leases and very expensive, it means that there are always a lot of new faces in the area as they are all multiple occupancy.
Last night, fairly late in the evening as I was going to bed, I was disturbed by a lot of banging of car doors right outside my house and just to be sure that no-one was damaging my car, I took a look out through the spy hole in my front door. (We do have a lot of problems with 'undesirables' and also vandalism by the local youths from time to time so I am always alert.) However, it was a large vehicle with half a dozen young people in and they were taking bags into one of the properties across the road so I thought they were probably new tenants.
What puzzles me is why these people move in under the cover of darkness as almost always without fail, every time someone new moves into one of these properties, they move in very late at night. What is even stranger is that when they move out six months later, they need a large van to remove their possessions or they make half a dozen trips in a car, whereas when they move in, they only have one bag with them.
