    Ok, so here's a warning to all you peeps out there: always be aware of who's behind you while you're driving, and how long they've been behind you, because I just got followed home from the fabric store at the mall just now! I didn't think much of the dark blue Chrysler/Caddy--car like that--leaving by the same exit as me, then taking a few of the same turns--it happens that sometimes people go ...along a partial route similar to yours, but when this guy turned into the residential neighborhood that I use as a cut-through, then sped up to ride my tail, I started getting that "Hmmm. . . " feeling.

    So I drove around a few streets, with him taking all the same turns, then speeding up to keep up, then went back to the main road, where yup, you guessed it--he still followed. I couldn't get his plate # because he was either too far back, or too close for me to see over the tire on the back of my truck, so I started heading in the direction of "home" with the intent to circle back toward town and pull up in front of the police station, and I figured I'd give it one more test by pulling onto the cut-off that goes to my neighborhood, and no where else, since the State Forest is behind me.

    Doesn't this guy take the same cutoff??? At that point, I figured I'd try something really interesting, by turning into the high school parking lot, because it's at the bottom of the hill where I live, and the son of a bitch follows me into the parking lot!! They're doing construction on the school, so I drove right into the construction zone by way of a skinny, cramped parking area, and the asshole follows me into that! He stopped 1/2 way through, because it looks like it's a dead end, but really isn't, and maybe he figured he had me cornered, or he got disoriented with all the cars and back-hoes, so I slid out the back and gunned the truck out the rear high school entrance.

    I circled around the neighborhood and came out on the next street up and waited at the end, so I could see down to the high school off the main road. I saw the guy come out of the parking lot, then go back out the way we originally came in, and after I saw him round the corner, I felt it was safe to head up the hill to my street.

    So word to the wise: never go home if it seems like you're being followed! Head for a populated area or the police station if there's one nearby. There was no way in hell I was going to let this guy know where I live, and I'm glad I was able to shake him. I just wish I could've gotten his plate #.

    Was that you?

    But seriously, it sounds like a good thing you noticed this psycho and didn't let him follow you to your doorstep.

    Good advice. Also pay attention IN the store. I've been followed there too. Sometimes things are just a coincidence & it can be funny to keep running into the same person but sometimes it may be a little more sinister. I hate to say those 2 worthless pieces of shit who raped & murdered the woman & her 2 daughters followed them from Walmart. It isn't paranoid to PAY ATTENTION. Glad you noticed it & were able to get away from him.

    I would not have even done all that if I were you, I would have headed straight for the police station as soon as it became obvious he was following you.

    Yeah, that was my intent--to drive to the police station, but I guess I wanted to be absolutely sure this asswipe was following me for real, which he was--there was no reason for him to be in the high school construction zone at 11:30 in the morning. I figured since I was able to shake him, all was well.

    I did just get off the phone with the police, and gave them a report of the incident, and they said it could've been anything from a perv to a private invesitgator who ended up following the wrong person. They can't do anything without a plate #, which is to be expected, but I did program the police phone # into my cell phone in case of any future weird happenings!

    Do you walk around with a smug look on your face, using a fake British accent, saying "Smithee. 'Alan' Smithee." ?

    ("We expect you to die, Mr. Bond. . . ") LOL big grin

    I'm glad, too! I purposely led him into that tight construction area in hopes that it would force him to back off, and it did!
