Default Today i was followed home.....

So this guy in a blue 4 door rolled up right after i pulled in my driveway. As I'm getting out of the car i see him pull up and its a white guy i didn't remember, but he said i sold him some fenders a while back. Well my brother recalled i did sell him some and i walk up to him and say whats up, he then asked if i was selling a hood for a ef. I called up someone to see if they had one and i gave him the number and he was off, he said the hood was for his 4 door but to me it didn't look messed up. Now what trips me out is that he never knew where i lived until today because i delivered the fenders so i know he followed me which brought suspicion. He was white looking like Eminem has gone bro with a baseball hat driving a 91 ef sedan stock blue couldn't get the license plate. Any Honda peeps on the lookout in South East San Diego. Either I'm paranoid or something.

Live and learn...

I had an incident where I noticed something wasn't "right" about a car coming down my street as I was about to pull into my driveway. I decided not to and continued on the street and drove around for a bit. Long story short, they followed me and pulled a gun to try and car jack me. Now I don't ever pull into my driveway if I even see some headlights way off in the distance. I don't take that chance anymore.

Even if you do recall meeting the guy, I don't blame you for being paranoid. You don't really know what anyone's intentions are.

Yeah...

I'm Canadian and I think you're full of ****. It's doesn't add up dude! In no way should you feel "comfortable" with someone following you to your house. Nothing wrong with getting your guard up in my Canadian opinion.

Hide your car in a storage facility or something. Nothing is worse than having a car stolen. Or keep a really good eye on it and block it with other cars in front of it.

I live in a place with few EFs, so we actually talk to each other about stuff. I've been flagged down before, just to chill and talk.

But, saying you're going to "roll up" on someone, that's just not humane.

IF you're so damn paranoid, call the police or something. Report it. Whatever. Violence solves nothing.

If you've sunk a few grand into your car, and still park it outside, that's just fool-hardy.

I would be paranoid too if i was followed home.
just keep an eye on your car, and make sure your car is locked and the security system is armed (if you have one that is)

This thing happened to me while I was picking up dinner a couple of days ago.

I parked to the right of the shop, locked the rex and went in. As I am ordering I hear a honda motor come into the lot, But I did not see it.

So ordered and decided to look out the window and there is a dark colored dude with his head up against my drivers window looking in.

I guess the driver saw me and they made a quick exit. Looked to be a white 89 integra lowered with chrome rims.

Didn't think about it that much but now that I read your post I got to thinking.

Time to use my security measures!!!!!!! All the time!!!

Hey people who steal lose their rights to being "honest citizens", they have stepped up to, if caught instant pain and then justice. Cops only take down a report and don't think nothing of it only if the jacker is caught red handed, while breaking into the car. Then when your car is stolen, they take a report and say "we'll refer this to the stolen vehicle task force",which is probably one cop cruising around the city looking for a abandoned and stripped car. Pretty much no police work, its us the owners who have to go detective and then have the cops do the justice.....Kinda like Batman

Maybe that's strategy, people don't expect it.

Yeah, I'm a minority(Chinese ) and I'm always looking in/at civics/crx. Usually because they are ridiculous, but sometimes just to admire the clean interior

Not to steal!
