Being a nosy sod..

[klondike]

I have a video doorbell and CCTV. Sitting (well lounging really as the sofa has recliner seats) minding my own business looking at YouTube on a tablet there was a little bing bong indicating the doorbell had detected motion.

Normally I'd ignore this as it is often car headlights fooling it but I could also hear some clonking outside so I looked at the clip. Big high panel van out there. I am expecting some stuff but not til tomorrow so I looked at the CCTV just in time to see two blokes getting a huge flat package out. Bit like a monster TV but wrong aspect ratio and it looked like it must be quite heavy. They headed off up the street and I went back to To Youtube. Then I heard it startup so looked at the CCTV again. It had writing on it Squeaky Clean Services or similar. I could look at CCTV to get more accuracy but that would involve getting off my backside or wrestling with the CCTV app on the tablet and neither are an attractive proposition.

Google hasn't been much use. Lots of Squeaky cleaners out there including one here in Northampton. Perhaps when nature forces me to move I'll also get the definitive lettering off the van or perhaps not.

I'm still intrigued though. What big flat thing possibly heavy would get sent away for cleaning? Possibly a mirror but I'm not convinced. A big oil painting? Not to squeaky clean cleaning services though.

So any ideas? Save me from my pointless nosiness with something I can believe. Otherwise I can see me pulling the video to get screenshots and that surely is being just too damned nosey.

Coffin for someone very thin?

I couldn't resist pulling some iffy pics via the app. By the time I had I needed to get up anyway.






Less than salubrious van. May have been sold on and nothing to do with cleaning.

No idea what's on top of the object, but the circle, low middle, added to it being weighty suggests a shower tray to me 🤷🏻�♂️

I think it's a cat flap.

Maybe a radiator - funny shape but some posh ones are. The way they handled it I'm sure it was weighty.

Anyway the pics spoiled the real mystery - it isn't a cleaning company van which was what intrigued me enough to waste this much time on it

The vans not relevant.  Favour for a mate perhaps.

Perhaps the item is part of a glory hole.

When Shaun sits at my kitchen table having a coffee he can see what is going on outside.. 
He raises his head when someone passes .. His eyes are always looking out.. 

Do you remember the days when women peeped behind the curtain or through the nets.. just to see what Dolly was up to next door.. and why Fred and Ethel were dressed up and going somewhere.. 
... and who is the telegram for..!!!!!!

I think it is a man thing now..  Men and CCTV cameras .. Like boys with toys...

I'm not a nosey sod, but we do have two CCTV cameras at our back.  These are mainly for security purposes, but I often have a look, certainly in the morning, to see if the cats have been out and have come back in safely.  It also checks whether they have both been out for a poo.  It's also entertaining to see whether birds and squirrels have visited for food, though the birds don't visit as much over winter.
We also have a couple of small cameras in our windows at the front
