Just realized my neighbor's backyard bunker wasn't for storms

Last Tuesday I was trimming my hedges (the overgrown ones along the fence line) and I noticed this metal hatch poking out of my neighbor's garden bed. I asked him about it over the fence and he said it was an old storm shelter, but then he got all weird and walked away. Three days ago I saw a delivery truck drop off five boxes of military-grade MREs at his house around midnight. Now I'm wondering if he's prepping for something specific, or if he just likes canned pasta. Has anyone else dealt with a neighbor who might be building an underground network?

Question whether those MRE boxes had government markings...

Didn't those have the little cardboard tabs that were all bent up though... I remember getting a box from some guy at a flea market and it had "government property" stamped in really bad ink that was already smudged. Turned out to be just commercial chili mac that tasted like it was from a dollar store. You'd think if it was actually from the military the packaging would be a lot more solid, not all flimsy and crushed on the corners.

Make sure you're not confusing military MREs with civilian ones. Real military MREs have brown wrapping with olive drab lettering, and they usually come 12 to a case, not five boxes. The ones that show up at midnight from a random truck could be the civilian knockoffs you get at camping stores. I bought a case once that claimed to be military grade but it was just spaghetti with meat sauce in a different package.
