....neighbors say he was quiet and kept to himself.
Yeah for 6 years no one knew their 6’ 4” neighbor... Yeah right give me a break!
They probably wondered about all the goats too.
Something I found interesting: If you compare the ABC aerial photo with the Google Earth image of the area, there are a lot more buildings in the former. This must mean that the ABC photo is more recent, of course, but it can only be by a few years. To me this suggests that OBL’s presence attracted this building boom, but of course it may be that it is just the natural expansion of the city population.
Neighbors noticed nothing out of the ordinary but did find it remarkable that the tall guy that lived there won the Halloween costume contest for two years running dressed as Bin Laden.
‘Gee that guy next door bears an uncanny resemblance to Osama bin Laden...’

For the neighbors, some things just never added up... Like the “666” street address, frequent drone flyovers, Adam Gahdan mowing the perimeter lawn, AQ Kahn constantly ringing the front gate buzzer, mobile dialysis vans parked out front, semi annual ammunition yard sales, community fundraisers for the NYC mosque, Obama campaign posters, headless bodies of pizza delivery boys, Mushariff taking a leak outside the wall at late night parties, and other weird things...
Hiding behind women and 23 children.
This sort of reminds me of the 1970’s, when every few months some ex-Nazi would turn up in an American suburb and all the neighbors would say how he was a nice quiet old man, who kept to himself.
