Any suggestions?
If you are on good terms with the parents which it sounds like you are, then discreetly letting them know what you saw, giving them the video, being clear that this is not an accusation and could be nothing, and perhaps saying that you're not intending to take this further but felt an obligation (born out of respect for them) to make them aware, is what I'd do.I have neighbors across the street that we have known now for several years. We are on great terms with the parents and often visit or I help them out with small jobs around the house.
The have a son in his early 20s that has had a chemical dependency problem now for a few year. He has moved back in with them but has not been real successful in finding employment, he suffers from illusions of adequacy.
The other day I was sitting in the dining room looking out the window which faces their house. I saw there son come out of the house and walk to the side (we are both on opposite corner lots) then back across the lawn to the driveway about the time a car rounds the corner and pulls into the drive. He walks to the passenger side and opens the door and sticks his upper body in. Shortly he gets back out of the car and shuts the door and it looks like he is putting a was of cash into his hoodie jacket. The car quickly backs out of the drive and leaves, kid goes right back into the house.
I have a front video cam that caught all of the, the total time of the meeting was less than one minute.
I feel I should make contact with his parents and let them know something maybe up, just unsure if this is the right thing to do and if so how should I handle it?
I have the video clip of the entire event that I can share with them.
Any suggestions?
No kids but there are a lot of young families in my neighborhood.Do you have a wife or children living with you?
This is ABSOLUTELY none of your business. Mind your own business. I can't belive you asked this.
If it's only been once, I wouldn't say anything. Hopefully, it was a one-off. If you see it again, then I'd probably say something.I have neighbors across the street that we have known now for several years.

I would wait until there was more than an occasional event or until I see people starting to hang out inside the house often. When it gets to that point, I'd alert the police.I have neighbors across the street that we have known now for several years.

It is your business if you are witnessing what you think you are witnessing. I would go to the parents and talk with them tell them what you have as evidence so they don't think you are making it up. Some parents will protect their kids no matter what they are doing. You don't know for sure so just be careful and patient with the parents. I guess to some a neighbor selling drugs is ok and if he has dependency problems, it ain't weed.I have neighbors across the street that we have known now for several years.

You saw this one time? One time? Could be anything. If this is a recurring thing then you may say something. But if it's only the one time, it could be anything.

It's his business
In fact it is not.
If he witnessed a crime, which he did not, then he should call the police.
If he witnessed someone dealing drugs, that's likely a crime. Agree that we'd need specifics. We weren't there, obviously.
He has no clue what he witnessed according to the post.
You don't make accusations based on a hunch.
If you do, you open yourself up to civil charges.
Dumbass people do this all the time.
That was my first thought...butMind your own damn business.
"I'm not sure but your son (who has a documented drug problem) looked like he may have been involved with drugs the other night. I don't know, but keep your antennae up."
What civil charges, exactly?
If you were my neighbor id move.That was my first thought...but
if this happens frequently, I'd be inclined to calmly make the parents aware, backing it up with (a) video(s).
Why?
They should be aware of their son's doings and deal with it how they see fit.
They also could get in trouble if, i.e., another neighbor calls the cops.
