(37,648 posts)I'm not surprised the police told her to move on, none of her business. They saw the contract, that he had a right to be there. And they stayed to make sure the situation didn't escalate because the woman was so hostile.
I don't fault her for asking in the first place. Or calling the police, instead of asking him. It's prudent to do that, when you see a stranger walking around your neighbor's vacant house. But when she saw the contract, that should have been the end of it. Not too many burglars come prepared with a contract. But then to tell him to hurry up and get out of the neighborhood...who does she think she is?
That poor man...that woman ruined a perfectly good day for him, made him feel like he didn't belong. I hope he ends up buying that house as an investment. That'll really get to her.
