You have to know the tone of your neighbors, some are the "town criers" with any information they collect shared with others. How many want it shared when their home is empty?

We know a few people who don't want to tell their neighbor this but because they are full time they get dumped on by snowbirds with requests to help them out in some fashion while they are back in their original neck of the woods.
