| It's been out there for 30 minutes. They have been circling the block a few times? I was out and then they saw me when I drove up and came in the house. I don't want to call the police on possibly innocent people but I feel uncomfortable |
| Where do you live? Call the Non-Emergency number and explain it. Guarantee they'll send a police car. |
| Take photo of number plate. |
| I live in downtown ss |

Looking at the time, could it be a work crew on lunch break? Just killing time kind of? Or work crew en route to house and they are early or waiting for others to arrive?
Get license plate/description. Can you see a driver? |
| Take a picture, call the police non-emergency number. |
|
It's probably a workman who is lost.
Why don't you ask if he needs help. |
| If you see something, say something. |
| Hi, I don't mean to overreact, but there's a white van outside my house that I don't recognize and I'm wondering if someone can come by and check it out. Okay, thanks, bye. |
Try using a phone. It works better that way. |
| Maybe a work crew killing time before an appt? If the van isn't stopped in front of your house, why assume it's about you? |
| If you see something, say something. |
|
You definitely need to call if it sits there more than 30 minutes. Workmen's lunch schedule is rarely over 30 minutes.

A neighbor of mind is a police officer.
Basically, he always says if something makes you uncomfortable, then call the non emergency number. The script from 12:32 is great. |
| Surveillance on somebody in your neighborhood - maybe you. Anyone file a lawsuit, a workers' comp case, getting divorced, having an affair? |
