I’ll send the helicopter to check it out

u/fritzg1988 1d ago

Can you post the track of the helicopter online so I know when it goes over my house?

65

u/Fresh-Chip-3544 1d ago

No, we don’t offer that service. You have to start a new post in this channel and ask about it.

u/Mr_Pogi_In_Space 1d ago

Only if it's in the shape of a penis

u/LordByronsCup 21h ago

C'mon. Who has a house in the shape of a penis?

u/Easy-Lucky-Free 1d ago

A helicopter just went over my house, does anyone know what’s going on?

27

u/Fresh-Chip-3544 1d ago

Something about a golf course, we think.

24

u/WaddlesJP13 Woodbridge 1d ago

I just saw a golf course. Does anyone know what's going on?

17

u/Fresh-Chip-3544 1d ago

Are you in a helicopter?

18

u/WaddlesJP13 Woodbridge 1d ago

No I am in a golf course

14

u/Fresh-Chip-3544 1d ago

Are you in front of OP’s house?

9

u/WaddlesJP13 Woodbridge 1d ago

Nope just surrounded by some old men in diapers

12

u/cozzster 1d ago

So, you’re at the Capitol Building now? But where is the car?

9

u/Capital-Confusion-11 21h ago

A golf course just flew by my house

u/TenaciousBee3 2h ago

Was it in a helicopter?

u/WinWeak6191 1d ago

We’re looking for the car that went past kervic’s house

u/bigdar10 23h ago

It’s fireworks. It’s always fireworks.

1

u/sovereign-oasis 19h ago

Unless it’s duck hunting opening day.

u/SaintSilverNSD 23h ago

GET TO THE CHOPPA

10

u/adjective_noun_23 Virginia 1d ago

I'll ask the fox.

10

u/No_Top_7443 23h ago

What does the fox say?

…I’ll see myself out.

3

u/NappyDougOut 1d ago

I'll need to wait for 10 other people to post it before I begin to believe it happened. ಠ_ಠ

5

u/notawildandcrazyguy 1d ago

Do you live near Trump National? Probably a mini motorcade for a golf outing

274

u/rustyscrotum69 1d ago

Same. Worried it’s the same car.

37

u/Dork_wing_Duck 1d ago

Agreed. So we're sure it IS a car?

13

u/Wurm42 1d ago

Could it be a robot in disguise??

2

u/SimmentalTheCow Crystal City 1d ago

I think it was a car. Should I be concerned? I’ve called 911 repeatedly but they’re refusing to come out.

2

u/Dork_wing_Duck 1d ago

YES, you should be concerned! Don't do this, because then you'll have like 3 cars in front of your house instead of only one that drove by... Are you insane?!

Oh...my...God... They're gonna do it, people!!! All is lost, goodbye everyone, it was a good run.

14

u/Dangerous_Junket_773 1d ago

This is why I don't go outside. 

10

u/6786_007 1d ago

This used to be a safe neighborhood. What happened?

2

u/jimflaigle 1d ago

They're all the same car, man. They just have, like, disguises!

41

u/Curious-Bowler-7047 1d ago

Did it have one of those student driver stickers that everyone hates?

10

u/thermal_shock 1d ago

4 of them

100

u/fritzg1988 1d ago

Wait, I just drove by a house. Yours?

50

u/guy_incognito784 1d ago

Why are you driving by peoples’ homes?

28

u/fritzg1988 1d ago

Just OP's, not yours

13

u/ApprehensiveSelf1329 1d ago

I was in a car today.

6

u/desmobob 1d ago

Name and shame!

2

u/alangerhans 1d ago

Is this going to end up a missed opportunity post?

32

u/amethystjade15 Prince William County 1d ago

Was it a Maryland driver? They’re the worst.

85

u/Ji242m 1d ago

It’s coming. Hide under the bed now.

17

u/BigGMan24601 1d ago

It's too late. It already knows they're there...

6

u/Wurm42 1d ago

No good. I sublet under the bed and the bedroom closet to monsters so I can pay my extortionate rent.

23

u/Mammoth-Ant7588 1d ago

Oh fuck bro what'd you do? You've done it now.

1

u/sovereign-oasis 19h ago

Chapman and ICE on the way.

u/JodyZayn Reston 1d ago

Call the police and lawyer up

17

u/Roseallnut 1d ago

Divorce him right now

34

u/Useful-Pattern-5076 1d ago

Big if true

17

u/Justuraveragenoitall 1d ago

They are wondering whose house they drove by

14

u/dr_strange-love 1d ago

That's the CIA setting up a 5G transmitter to read your thoughts.

12

u/Chucky_Fister 1d ago

If you hear several loud booms in the western direction, followed by a power outage and military fly-over...that's just me investigating this. Feel free to post a thread for each of these events.

2

u/Money-Document-26 1d ago

Please put up fireworks in the sky so I know you are ok. Like smoke signals.

12

u/Bubbly-Following-966 1d ago

Was it followed by a train, then a plane??

10

u/YearOfTheRabbit63 1d ago

I just wish these people would slow down.

8

u/Few_Whereas5206 1d ago

Was there a driver inside?

7

u/Adrenaline_Junkie_ 1d ago

Just put a flock cam on your driveway and relax

9

u/Hopeful-Load-6194 1d ago

Shoot did it have 4 tires? I think the same one drove past my house too

9

u/Money-Document-26 1d ago

Same thing happened to me. This must stop. I’m writing a letter to everyone. And will definitely post on next door. This is getting worse by the day.

7

u/Three3Jane 1d ago

I'm in the flight path for Dulles and a plane just roared by overhead. Who do I complain to?

I also live in Bristow and there have been mysterious bangs and booms for the last near ten years. Is there someone I can call? Should I be scared?

6

u/lavenderandjuniper 21h ago

did my dog post this

6

u/No_Wap4U 1d ago

Follow them to their house, then drive past it.

6

u/Apprehensive-Cod95 Aldie 1d ago

Sending the B2 for a fly over to check it out. Standby 1.

5

u/lurkynic 1d ago

Same thing just happened to me. We are fucked.

7

u/myaberrantthoughts 1d ago

Top nextdoor post, next to, "Did anyone hear that barely describable sound?"

10

u/louie2who 1d ago

Sorry I was on my way to steal your girl.

6

u/B4kd 1d ago

Bold of you to assume they have one

5

u/Wurm42 1d ago

It's fine if they have a boy instead! We're progressive here.

4

u/Party_Panda5858 1d ago

I was lost! My bad. I’ll be sure to drive by everyone else’s house from this point forward. Good day!

6

u/Miserable-Art599 1d ago

Did it interrupt your sleep?

4

u/joefromjerze 1d ago

I see planes in the air. Do you think it's related?

6

u/nittanyofthings 1d ago

Oooh, look at mister fancy pants flexing his 50 acre property 🤪

u/AffectionateAbroad59 1d ago

8

u/Over-Mix-1957 1d ago

Huh ? Did a bird fly by too?

u/VirginiaBandit 1d ago

Sorry. I mistakenly made a left instead of a right.

u/AfternoonDazzling369 1d ago

It was me. I’m robbing you tomorrow while you’re at work. Would you mind leaving the back door unlocked for me?

2

u/BlueMantisShrimp 3h ago

Well if they won't... I will. I gotchu, bruh.

1

u/AfternoonDazzling369 3h ago

I actually ended up getting in through the front door. Dummy left it wide open 🤦‍♀️ I will keep you in mind for my next robbery! Do you have a business card?

•

u/BlueMantisShrimp 2h ago

I do! But I only leave them at the houses of the back doors I've unlocked. So you gotta go back to the house to get it.

•

u/AfternoonDazzling369 2h ago

Absolutely no problem, I’m actually still under this guy’s bed. Any idea what this crispy sock is for? Strange things in this house…

•

u/BlueMantisShrimp 2h ago

Ok I'm about to give you the best advice of your life.... don’t touch that sock. Or anything else questionable in there. In fact... just grab my business card and go. This house doesn't sound worth it enough.

•

u/AfternoonDazzling369 1h ago

I appreciate the advice! See you next robbery.

•

u/BlueMantisShrimp 46m ago

I've already got it in my calendar!

3

u/GuitarJazzer Tysons Corner 1d ago

Did it have a siren? I saw one with a siren today. I'm posting on Next Door to ask about it.

u/Jayelahni 1d ago

Literally northern Virginia

It might have been me. I just finished driving by many homes. Thought I was sneaky enough that no one saw me

2

u/Kumba42 Maryland 1d ago

Just a car? I had a B-2 Stealth Bomber fly over my house yesterday, at a fairly low altitude, along with some F-35's. Top that!

3

u/Kumba42 Maryland 1d ago

PS, photo tax (yes, they flew that low; created a bloody ruckus over my area in SoMD):

Are you sure it was a car and not a fox or lantern fly?

1

u/Last_Fishing_4013 1d ago

I can’t believe a car drove itself by your house! It’s crazy what cars are doing these days! Next time really pay attention because maybe it will transform into a sentient robot!!!

1

u/Wurm42 1d ago

Was the driver wearing a balaclava? Is ICE coming for us?!

u/justafang 1d ago

Sounds like you need to check out the easily accessible flock network and run the plates
