This afternoon I heard a woman screaming next door - our walls are high so I couldn't see what was going on but she sounded as if she was in trouble. I called the police (engaged) and then the flying squad and reported it. I then called the our neighbour who owns the house and told him what I've heard and that I have called the police. He said that he was already on his way and thanked me for calling the police(he sounded quite calm though). The screaming only went on for a minute and then everything went quite and I haven't heard anything since-this was about an hour ago. Haven't heard any sound from next door. So I'm thinking at least if the police didn't show up (quite possible in SA) the owner of the house knows there's something wrong (well it sounded like he already did when I called). BUT then I think what if this guy did something to his wife or girlfriend (we don't know our neighbours at all-I presume the woman living there is his partner) - and then I think I'm paranoid. AND then I think should I have gone over there - but I was too scared as I'm not exactly a big girl (so now I feel like a coward as well) To make things worse DH is away for the weekend :-( What would you have done? (yes I know you big strong guys would have gone next door) AND should I do anything else ?
