Approximately at 8:15 last night, walking home from Red's, I spied two adolescent males in my apartment complex riding and walking around. What was suspicious was that I'd never seen them before, and they circled around a Volkswagen Bug from the 1960s parked in the area. They then headed down the sidewalk to my unit, where they circled a large black truck, and took a very long gander at the sawhorses and other pieces of construction equipment next to my unit, noticing the adjacent one has a large gap in the fence where the repairs are underway.
Needless to say, I was not happy at all. I began to follow them as this occurred with a very angry glare, but from a distance. The pair darted down a hallway onto Gayle, a neigbooring street in back of the complex with some residential houses opposite. The pair made off at a brisk pace, looking back to see me quite angry, arms crossed, watching there every move. A car parted them as it sped down Gayle, and they vanished.
Near my unit the twosome stopped to have a look at mom's Jetta, the truck, and the fence that had been moved by the construction crew so repairs can be done to the exterior wall.
The miscreants were young, no older than sixteen; another tenant that saw them ten minutes earlier said they were about twelve. One had a dark red shirt and tan cargos, somewhat broad shouldered, walking briskly along with his Razor scooter-mounted friend, brown hair, dark navy-hue shirt with grey lettering on the front, and dark OD-color pants. The two were both white males, and disappeared into the residential neighborhoods off of Mayard.
I searched the whole if the complex for them. Looks like the angry glare worked, but be advised if you see them in the Lafayette area around Doucet and Johnston. This did not look like two ignorant kids. They took note of the weak points and vehicles around my unit.
Be advised and keep your eyes and ears open this summer as dumb kids choose to do stupid things.
Keep lighting and a camera handy also. Mine was charging, so no photos of this little cretins.
Gonna see about getting a light for carry; the LED Maglites seem nice, and are familiar. It would have helped identify them and scare them off.
This whole affair lasted about fifteen minutes, but the time when I checked it upon coming in was 8:50. This may be due to my searching the complex for them. A perimeter search revealed nothing.

thanks for the concern, JR.
