As I was about to show Claudia something on the computer, I realized that I had been hearing a woman crying from the window. I got up, moved into another room, opened the window, leaned out. It was a mix of crying, shouting, and panting from the next door building. I was paralyzed. What to do? There were two or three apartments where this could be coming from. Pervert sex? Pornography? Rape?
What to do?

I’m not really sure what one should do in a situation like this.
I had a situation where a the concern of a passer by was nice though. My wife was once stuck in a room at my house due to a faulty lock and she screamed out the window. A passer by noticed and notified the security of the apartment where I lived. I had arrived home by then and was able to force the lock but the act of notifying the security of the building would have been of great help if I hadn’t reached home.
I don’t know how the situation is there in .ch and how to navigate the line between being a responsible neighbour and a nosy one but I don’t think ignoring it is the right thing to do.

Or it could just have been the TV. It’s hard to tell nowadays.
I guess that one of those situations where the best solution is to take notes. Jot the time, registration plates and details of any cars and keep an eye out for anyone leaving quickly. If it continues, call the police. Better safe than sorry, eh?
