So, I was out of town for five days because my grandma died.
The first day back, my wife (who stays at home with our daughters) saw a guy just sitting on our front steps looking around. She was scared to let him know she was there, for some reason.
The next day, she walks out of the house, and a pickup parked down the street starts up, and speeds by, and the guy driving was trying to hide his face with his hand...she was pretty sure it was the guy from the day before.
So, last night we get a knock on the door...there's this lady that says she needs to borrow a phone or a Nextel charger. I was like, um, OK. Didn't let her in the house, but let her use my cell phone. What the hell, it was kind of cold and maybe her car broke down or something. She calls says "Hey, I'm by my house," hangs up and leaves. We'd never seen her in the neighborhood before, so I was like, WTF? I try to see where she goes, but she left pretty quick.
When I was looking for this girl outside, I see a car drive by and park on the street behind my house (I live on a corner). No one gets out, and the car stays running.
Right after that, this big guy that always has the crack* (*lame attempt at board "cred") is walking down the middle of our street. This isn't that weird for my neighborhood (people from outside the neighborhood never use sidewalks for some retarded reason), but he sat on the stairs two houses behind my house facing my back door. I go to my backyard, turn on our floodlight and stare at him for a while.
After a couple minutes, he walks over to the car, talks for a while, then gets in, and they drive off. That isn't too odd in my neighborhood, lots of crackheads not too far away, but the timing had me suspicious.
So I grab the dog and walk around to see if I can find that girl or see the car cruising the neighborhood or something. Didn't see anything until I got back to my house, and saw the car I saw earlier drive by again. (It's a Honda Accord with blue flames and a giant VTECH sticker on the window, lol @ using that to sell drugs or rob someone). It didn't stop, but it apparently was going around the block because I saw it again in less than a minute. It parked behind my house again, sat for a minute then drove off without letting anyone out.
So, I'm walking around my house, WTF'ing, and decide to see if the lady at my door really made a call. She did, so I called the number. I figured he wouldn't answer and I could get his name off voicemail, but he answered. I was like, "Who's this?", and he was like, "Who's this?", and I asked him who called him, and he was like, "no one, I forget, someone had a wrong number".
So, will they rob me if I leave town again to see my recently widowed grandfather?
Am I missing something obvious? Just being paranoid?
TIA
