‘He’s our f***** neighbour’: Mum’s chilling discovery after receiving a strange note
- Replies 0
Feeling safe in your own home is something most people take for granted—until an unsettling encounter changes everything.
For one mum, a simple note left on her door set off a chain of events that led to a disturbing realisation about someone living right next door.
What followed was a chilling exchange that left her questioning just how much her neighbour had been watching.
A mother made a disturbing discovery about her neighbour after receiving what initially appeared to be an innocent note on her door.
The woman, who is married with children, returned home to find a handwritten message reading ‘HMU’ (hit me up), along with a mobile number.
Believing it could be from an old friend who had lost contact with her, she decided to text a photo of the note to the number.
The reply was brief: ‘Goodnight.’
Confused, she asked: ‘Are you going to tell me who this is or be scared lol.’
What followed was a series of unsettling messages.
The sender wrote: ‘Definitely don’t be scared since you can’t go anywhere without your man counting your steps.’
‘Either way, don’t worry no harm to you.’
At first, she struggled to make sense of the cryptic responses.
The person told her to reach out when she was alone and able to make her own decisions.
Still trying to identify them, she asked: ‘Bro why can’t we just have a conversation?’
‘Who is this? Like how can I talk to you if I don’t (know who you are)?’
Instead of answering directly, the sender responded: ‘Are your to speak for yourself or do got (sic) your babysitter with you?’
She reassured them: ‘I can talk to you.’
The person then revealed his name was ‘Robert’ and asked: ‘Do you got a OnlyFans or sum page (sic).’
At that point, she ended the conversation, replying bluntly: ‘I don’t know a Robert.’
Determined to uncover the identity behind the messages, she reverse-searched the phone number.
What she found shocked her—it belonged to her neighbour, a man twice her age.
She shared her experience on social media, admitting she initially assumed it was someone she knew because of the note’s placement.
‘Yes I know it was dumb to message this number but I honestly thought it had to be a close friend because only they know where I live,’ she wrote.
‘The way we found the name of the stalker was that we reversed searched up the number and his address and name popped up. He’s our f****** neighbour.’
She was particularly disturbed by the realisation that the man had been watching her and her family.
‘This stalker clearly watches us walk our dogs, take our kids to school, and just be outside like a peeping Tom,’ she said.
‘I’m really scared and could not sleep. The fact he knows when we leave, unsettles me the most.’
She and her partner reported the situation to police and planned to inform their landlord of their neighbour’s behaviour.
Her post received dozens of comments, with many urging her to remain cautious and avoid engaging with the man.
‘The fact that he left his number KNOWING you have a whole family says a LOT about the dude—and none of it is good,’ one person wrote.
Another warned that a landlord would not be able to take action without legal intervention.
They said: ‘Your landlord can’t legally do anything without a judge ordered restraining order. You have to be your own hero in this moment and tell this man to leave you alone and that any further contact will be considered harassment and that you’ll take legal steps.’
Others suggested she document any future interactions in case the situation escalated.
‘Keep a log of when he contacts if he does again. But yes, asserting herself to show boundaries of refusing further communication, keep away from me and my family, I will pursue legal action if this persists, is good to show no relationship and no interest if escalates,’ one comment read.
Some shared their own experiences of being stalked.
‘I had a stalker once who put a letter through my door with a random Pokémon card, saying how they watched me walk home from school every day. I was in my teens. My parents didn’t take it seriously. Luckily nothing else came of it after that,’ one person wrote.
Another woman recalled how an ex-boyfriend continued to stalk her long after their relationship had ended.
‘He would wait outside my window at night, leave me notes, park outside my house and watch me come and go, and follow me in public. I regret not going to the police sooner,’ she said.
Others advised the mother to formally report the behaviour to authorities, even if no immediate action was taken.
‘The police don’t have to do anything if you don’t want, but it’s so important to at least open a case and have this officially on record as evidence.’
‘This way if he does something again, you go to the police again and they can actually do something since there would be proof of repetitive harassment.’
In a previous story, an Aussie radio host opened up about a terrifying ordeal with an ‘obsessive’ stalker.
Their experience highlights just how frightening and unpredictable these situations can become.
