Oof, I had to delete my Nextdoor account after witnessing that same kind paranoia (with a hint of racism).

[blurry photo of you]” “he came round here to. i peeped thru the blinds but he didnt spot me.” “I think it was a she, but you can't tell with the hoodie can you? Seems shady to me. I'm calling the police if she comes here.”
