This afternoon as Mike and I were pulling out of our driveway to go to the vets, we noticed a black stationwagon creeping slowly alongside our road. The car stopped in front of a house several doors down and sat there while two men stared intently at the home. Then it went to the next house and the next. We were idling far enough in our driveway that I don't think they saw us at first and they stopped in front of our house, and both of us just got a creepy feeling. They were so intent on looking at the house they didn't see us at first, but when they did, they drove away quickly and sat two houses down on the side of the road.
We pulled out to the end of our driveway and we both were staring at them, when they suddenly swung out into traffic whipped a huge illegal u-turn on the highway and took off speeding away from us.
We started after them, our intent was to get their license number. There were two scruffy looking men in the car, but they were going at least 75 mph (the speed limit is 55) and it took some doing and a lot of praying to get close enough to really see the car.
In the back seat were all these black duffle bags full of who knows what, and two kids were sandwiched between about 8-10 bags. I was writing down their license number when they noticed we were next to them, and they turned quickly on a side street and sped away.
We stopped at the sherriff's and told them what happened and gave them the make of the car and the license number. We were told that if we see the car again, or the two men to call 911 immediately.
I wonder though, if it was just an odd coincidence and they were lost or something but it sure was creepy strange. We also have told our neighbors on the road, the ones we saw them stopping in front of. I don't know what they were up to if anything- maybe we just watch too much CSI and Criminal Intent-
