> or instructed their kids to act as if there were an adult in the house

So I gather that somehow these two kids were, when alone, acting in such a way that allowed the person who called the police to believe they were alone? It feels like there's some more context here. What were the kids up to? (:

I am not sure if you are serious. I assume you are -- I think the old lady, who was always bored, was tracking who was going where and when. I heard (but not sure) she even peeked into the windows from the outside to find out who was inside. Those were two separate incidents btw.

Never underestimate the nosiness of curtain-twitching busybody neighbors.
