I think people would definitely notice. Idk about that neighborhood, but many places would fine owners for it being an eyesore (if boarded for an extended period of time, not temporary while awaiting a repair). And as they had to re-sod because people were getting fined for unkempt lawns I...

I don't think that would have helped them. That lot is small and not much space between homes. Alarms would have alerted the neighbors as much as the parents, a kid escaping to get help could possibly have been met with neighbors on the way over to see if everything was okay. I know there are...
