Weird Neighbours
Discussion
My sister is settling into her new home (moved in last autumn) and it's all going well - reasonably quiet area, neighbours seem okay - not too nosey but say hello when you bump into them sort of people - all except for a family (or collection of females, as there appears to be no father) who live on the opposite side (not directly opposite but one house further along). I refer to them as the Thrushes.
They basically sit at their window looking directly out, changing in and out of clothes in their bedroom (almost like a sitcom!) - more so whenever she has friends, builders or any sort of visitors coming round. We thought it might be the neighbours next door that they are surveying (teenage boy - teenage girl sort of thing) but i have been round there a few times and it they do seem to open the curtains after i arrive - almost clockwork - sadly i'm neither girl fantasy material and nor is my car.
My sister is definitely not the paranoid sort, certainly less than me, but it is rather disconcerting.
I was wondering if any pyschologists could shed light on the odd behaviour of these neighbours, or offer a strategy to deal with them. And no VBRJ comments please, though i suppose in a PH parallel universe this might offer a convenient solution .. albeit rather OTT given they are just being irritating cun8ts.

May I be the first to say that we need pictures, and lots of them.
Haha. You know the last thing that entered my mind as i was fumbling around in the dark .. trying to work out what the f8ck they were doing in their bedroom .. was to whip my phone camera out.Besides a flashing light comes on automatically.
At my last house we had the "Klopeks" (from the film "The Burbs"). Never saw them during the day, drove a big American car. The whole family seemed to go only very late at night (kids as well).
The car used to start will a big squeal from the fan belt, then the V8 would rumble away.
I once saw the car in one in town during the day, so I decided to follow it. It seemed to be taking a odd route, circling back on its self etc, so I gave up thinking they probably spotted me

Weve got a few neigbours that do nothing but stare out the windows all day and then relay to the world via facebook what is happening.
Did come in handy when a co-op lorry backed into someones car and when there were dodgy people looking around our house (turned out they were from the council regarding an aplication). They had pictures and had noted down registartion numbers!
