strange question I guess I already know the answer to.
if you saw one of your neighbours in his bedroom with what appeared to be a machine gun, would you report them?
hes a bit strange anyway and ive had very little to do with him, but this morning just after I opened my daughters curtain on her bedroom I noticed him standing near the window, and it appeared he was semi naked and looking at himself in a mirror or something holding a large gun!
he seems harmless enough and doubt hes about to go on a rampage or anything, but still... would you report it to the police, or just presume its a toy and ignore it??

Still, I'd rather have an awkward moment than bloodbath.
Bearing all this in mind, I was cleaning my shotgun last night in the flat and if someone was watching me it could have looked a bit weird!

Why are you still waiting?
If you saw the killings in Cumbria would you think 'Oh,they must be making a film.'?
THe police will be very sympathetic.This sort of info is gold dust for them.
They love to go out on a job.It's what they are there for.

You can either go straight to your local cop shop, or go online and find your local constabulary, they should have a link on their page for the Firearms department - you can always email them and find out if the address has a weapon registered to it, at the same time mention what you saw.

This is utterly ridiculous IMHO. The guy is in the privacy [if there is such a thing] of his own house and may very well be posing for a silly facebook profile pic with a plastic gun.
You now want to involve the police in his life with no other evidence or reason to be suspicious.
No offence, but you are everything that is wrong with this country IMHO. You don't stop for a second to think how your actions could affect this persons life and give zero benefit of the doubt. Unreal.

To expand a little further:
You arrange to go paint-balling at the weekend with your mates. It is the first time you have all been and the taunting back and forth has begun on email. Various photoshops are exchanging hands and you dig out an old toy/pellet gun to add your pic to the banter.
You head off to work on the bus holding doors open for your fellow citizens as you go. A productive day at work, you bag some great leads and decide to reward yourself with a takeaway and a bottle of wine. Back home, you're on your second glass of wine and the Vindaloo is settling nicely when BAMB your front door is smashed down and 10 armed trigger happy cops are pointing machine guns in your face. You literally sh*t yourself and are dragged off in cuffs in front of all your neighbours to be interviewed and detained for god knows how many hours. You probably miss work the next day, maybe get fired. Your reputation is in tatters.
Having realised you were innocent the police must now chase down those crucial "crimes solved" statistics and either a) dream up a 'terrorism charge' or b) take your computer away to find the obligatory child ****.
Life ruined....how do you feel about your neighbour Jamo now?

To expand a little further:
You arrange to go paint-balling at the weekend with your mates. Turns out they all ditch you as they've all been before and you haven't, so they now don't want you to come. You've been struggling with post traumatic stress and currently taking medication to help you deal with emotions. You have an dodgy old friend who mentions something to you about going shooting as a hobby so you decide to get involved and get one up on your mates. You obtain your old gun from said friend...bit suspicious but you go with it. One day you get up on the wrong side of bed. have a bad morning at work, leave early due to stress and come home.
The rage builds up inside you. You have a drink to relieve stress. You lose all control and think **** it. March in to work with new found gun and let bullets out at every angle. Among the dead and injured is mothers, fathers, a boy of 21 who had just started a graduate scheme.
Having then carried out the above actions you then take a bullet to your own head and end it all. Had somebody have known about anything suspicious to do with you, it could have all been prevented..

typical response saxo boi, did you read any of my questions or responses before writing that, or is it just aimed to get a good argument going?

UHH I stopped myself for a whole day, I have still done nothing, are you stupid?
Tell the police mate. They might not go in guns blazing as they have to do a history check on the suspect 1st. If the guy dosent have nothing to hide, no problem. If he is intending to go on a rampage then youve done your duty.
