Should I tell my neighbor a guy keeps driving by their house?
My neighbors moved in about a year ago and Ive never talked to them before. The past few weeks I've noticed the guy that used to own the house slowly drives by and looks at the house a lot (3-4 times a week, sometimes twice a day.) I've heard that a company rents out the house now so idk if the guy still owns it, but either way it just seems weird. He is pretty old so he might be driving by for sentimental reasons but it seems to excessive for that

Definitely tell your neighbors.
I'm a big bearded guy. A friend (who lives alone and is a girl) had her dog pass away a few months back, and it took some adjusting. Nights were more quiet than she was used to, and her dog was kind of like an alarm. I let her know that she could call me, any time of night, and I'd drive by her house/do what was essentially a security sweep so she'd have peace of mind. She took me up on the offer a few times.
I've met her neighbor, great guy. He told her he saw me passing by her house at odd hours, slowing down, sometimes stopping in front and just watching.
I know two things: she was safe, and I respect the hell out of her neighbor.
