Fucking nosy ass neighbors, man.

I think this is the root cause. Anecdotal evidence to support:

I’m white, my parents are white, and they lived in a posh neighborhood outside DC. For 3 years, Dad was working/living in England, so my sister and I would check on the house and/or I would go up to DC for a long weekend (I was living in NC at the time).

I arrived on a Friday night, unloaded the car, and was cracking open a beer to relax… And there was a ring of the doorbell. It was the cops. They said a concerned neighbor called, I told them my parents were currently living in England and came up for the weekend. I ended up digging through paperwork of my Mom’s looking for something tying me to the address. While the cops were waiting, they saw multiple pictures of me and my sister hanging on the wall. They said “this will suffice. Enjoy your weekend.”

The neighbor apologized the next day and asked if I had bought a new car.
