Secondly, I agree with one of the earlier replies. I'm surprised that you haven't been turned in already--or maybe you have and they are just helping the police garner more evidence.
People can make money off giving crime tips thus the reason some people are nosy.

Or...they are hoping to post their pictures and video (yep...they might even be taking video of your clients going in and out) for their online blog or youtube accounts.
If it were my house...and I saw my neighbors snapping pictures of cars in my driveway over more than 1 day...I'd stop doing business out of my home immediately (if I wanted to stay living there for years) or I'd start planning my move.
To address the hobbyist's concern about the neighbors, he might want to consider:
1). Getting a garage door with an automatic opener.
2). Meeting the provider at a parking lot nearby (this usually will only work with ladies you've already met as some stranger might not go for this).
3). Have her get in your car (in the front seat not the trunk*) and drive her back to your home...but as you get close to your street (perhaps about 10-15 houses away), have her duck down in the seat to the floor even...(throw a blanket over her if you want) and drive into your garage closing the door with the automatic opener soon after.
4). Once in the garage with the door closed---you both can exit the car and enter your house from inside the garage.
I did this a number of times with a COP client who didn't want his neighbors seeing. This is also useful for married men who aren't sure which neighbors are friends with his wife.
* NOTE to providers: NEVER EVER, get in the trunk of a hobbyist's car...no matter who many times you've met him already or how much you like him.
