So about 4 weeks ago someone broke into my business and stole a single item. One pair of discontinued, severely discounted, cheap ass boots. The security cameras caught him in the act, but the image quality was less than conclusive as to his identity. What was clear about his personage was that he was wearing a grey LSU hoodie, had a bit of a mustache and goatee, and not much else.
I operate in a small town, so the cops already know most of the common perps. One of the first responders said she thought he looked a lot like some guy she knew of who drove a red, black, and white mustang with an image of the mustang horse painted on either side of the car.
Since then I've seen this car driving around town, but thats not important. Today I saw it as I was coming home, passing me really slowly on the street my house is on. At the time all I could think is "Thats the dude...
WTF". Seriously, that car is unmistakable. I drove right past my driveway and made a loop around to where I started on my street to find his car motionless directly in front of my house. He had been going in the opposite direction, so he had to have made a u-turn at the end of the street just to come back to my house. I pulled in behind him, which made him pull away and turn into a driveway around the corner. I made a couple of blocks and came back to that driveway just to see if that might have really been his destination. The car was gone. Had he simply pulled into there to avoid my suspicion?
Before then I had been doubting this lady cop's ability to identify the guy from the blurry picture our cameras provided, but this is seriously creepy coincidence otherwise. Remember, this is a small town. It's not a big deal to know where basically everyone lives in it. I already know where this guy lives just from hearsay. There's no reason why he couldn't do the same.
This wasn't just any car, remember. It was the car of someone fingered by the police as a possible suspect in the burglary of my business. It strains my ability to consider it coincidence. It makes no sense for him to be anywhere near me. I'm worried about his motivations.
