It's not uncommon to see unfamiliar cars driving up and down the street I live on, which just so happens to be a little under 8 miles long. However, when an unfamiliar vehicle is slowly driving down the street, the alarms in my head go off. Normally residents on our street tend to drive fast, considering the length of the road. The speed limit is 35mph, but most drive 40-50mph. So, when I see someone driving 5-10 mph down our street, something doesn't seem right.
This is how the situation went...
I was leaving my house to go down to Kenner to shoot pool at Corner Pocket. As I neared the end of my driveway I noticed a blue car driving slowly towards my house. The car paused by my driveway for a few seconds then started off down the street again. Since my buddy from down the street ( a few miles ) told me about his neighbor being robbed, I had a funny feeling about this car. I turned right out of my driveway, opposite the direction of the blue car. I watched in my rear view mirror and they soon stopped and reverse lights came on. So I pulled over to watch what they were going to do. They turned into a driveway close to mine and I immediately turned around to see what was up. When I neared my home I could not see the vehicle so I passed up my house and kept driving. Then I noticed I wasn't wearing a belt and my paranoid tin foil hat side of my brain said check the house. So I checked everything out and it was all clear, got my belt and headed out. By the time I reached the end of our road and cut through another street, I noticed the same car in someone elses driveway parked with the engine running. I stopped in front the house to try and see if anything was going on, but I didn't. This sort of worries me.
TL;DR : Weird car in the neighborhood, maybe a robber?
Anyways, I was talking to my mom today and she was telling me about how she had seem a similar blue car driving down our street very slow the other morning. All I can say is that if they attempt to break into my house and I am home there may be two more criminals headed to the morgue.
I'm going to try and get the plates if I see it again. Is there anything I can do about any of this?
