If you look at the Google map history, the next door neighbors house to left was way worse shape in 2011. Then is was completely redid in 2012 and sold. hmmm.....

In two pics 1 year apart in 2016/17? the 3 cars in driveway didn't move. But he did clean those up.

In one pic you see a desk and chair in front of house. He did add a gate to the driveway to block view of rear about 5-7 years ago.

Looking at the neighborhood its not all manicured lawns and houses.

Still wonder if there is more to this than what we read and see from google street view shots.
