My Neighbor Borrowed My Backyard for One Afternoon – The Next Morning, My Yard Had a Huge Hole and My Neighbor Was Gone

"We saw him loading all his furniture into a moving truck Saturday morning," she said. "Honestly, it looked like he was moving away."

I felt my stomach tighten.

"But... he was supposed to be having people over."

She slowly shook her head.

"No. He spent the entire weekend digging in your backyard. That's all he did."

I walked back into my house, completely unable to make sense of what I'd just heard.

I opened it to find two police officers standing on my porch.

"Well, ma'am," one of them said, "I think you know why we're here."

He gave me a serious look.

"Would you mind if we came inside?"

I stepped aside and let the officers enter.

His partner was Officer Beckett. Both of them kept their expressions neutral, but I could tell they were watching me closely.
