It's like a couple having a public fight in the street and everybody opens their doors to have a squiz
and then the police get called and a few people from the next street over wander across to see what the fuss is about.

And one of the couple is well known for glueing peoples' bins shut and stamping on their roses whilst the other is a relatively new addition to the household and nobody really knows what to make of them, so everybody's vaguely hoping the plant-stamper gets arrested.
