Ok...coming home from work one day there was a 26" Uhaul truck sitting outside my house facing the wrong direction ( meaning the wrong side of the road ).
I had a bad feeling cuz there was a gentleman sitting in the truck with full view INTO my House. I know that I wasn't moving and I was 99.99% positive that I no neighbors were moving either. I live across from a park so I have 1 house to my left, 1 behind me and 1 to the northwest of me ( north of the park). In other words I have my whole front towards a Park.
Bobcav, U will like this. Just like at Costco I stepped out of my Crowm Vic Pi (2000) with a Bar infront. I was OCing this day ,as well, with my 44 Ruger sitting in my Cogburn Triple K holster with ALL the shiny rounds (25 all-in-all):lol:. ( I LOVE THAT RIG ). I,on purpose went into the House and got the Mail Box key to across the street to get the Mail and the 6shooter sitting on my right hip. As I turned back to return to the House I got :what
eye contact) with the person in the Uhaul truck, he was about 30-40ft away. He looked at me, at my shooter and really quickly started the truck and took off and I MEAN TOOK OFFFAST :shock:.I veNEVER seen a Uhaul (26footer) drive 200-250ft so fast in my entire life before it turned.
After this I just smiled
givin it a quick stroke. ( the6shooter I mean:what: ).
Still having a bad feeling I went to the next door folks and asked them about the Uhaul truck, and they said that had the wrong address. I asked how long it's been parked there and they said about 10 min. This confirmed to me that something was not right. At this point I was happy the Feller in the truck saw my 6shooter.
In my suspicion he was one of those Guys that has a Truck with guys inside the cargo space waiting for a Go to go in and raid Houses.
The driver walks up to the House and ring the doorbell to see if somebody is Home goes back to the truck sit and wait for a few minutes to see if the coast is clear.
I guess I was lucky and arrived at the last minute
I was happy and of course I could be wrong about the truck but I feel that I made the Neighborhood a little bit safer at that very moment.
