I can be overly paranoid, but when I feel like I might be being followed, I just go to Wal-Mart or something. Stop at a grocery store. I've got time... let's see if you do.

I've gotta wait because I'm 17. Though I am taking the class this summer, just can't send the application in until I'm 21. And I mean using it as a deterrence, not going guns blazing. lol

I'd lure them to a dark, secluded place and have my may with them.

i have never had someone follow me home like that but if i did i would just start randomly driving. i would try to aim for lights so they would get caught at a red light or something. or i would drive to the closest police station and pull in there. i wouldn't go home right away i would definitely loose them then go home. if i got a plate number or something i would probably call the cops also and report them.

Are'nt you all going paranoid?

I live on a corner with quite some slow traffic.

Last year there was this guy passing almost daily in front of my driveway and slowing down a lot and he was lurking my car.

This guy drives a $100,000 english SUV. At one time while I was cleaning the car, he stopped and he told me that he likes my car so much that every days he goes on street more and looks at the car. He said he would like to buy one, but the spouse don't wan't too.

So maybe he just liked your Cam5, and that's all.

that's a good way to get shot around here.

Absolutely. And if you can't lose them get on a main road and call the cops on your cell phone (or press the magic onstar button) and give the cops your route/location and have them catch up to you and pull the guy over.

Not to scare you but it's the truth - the number one reason someone is selected for robbery or hokme invasion is the type of car they're driving and they're followed home or if the crooks are high end they'll get the plate and trace it back to the residence.

I have never driven home in a flashy car with someone behind me without 'squaring the block' first. (And I have some pretty insane cars.) Likewise none of my cars are registered to my home address, all to my business address and if possible in my business name.

BE CAREFUL.

Yeah I had that numerous times in the summer of 09, when mine was the first one in the city.

Thank God there are more of them now.
