[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a neighbor who leads the neighborhood watch program.  His house sits at a point where he can see a lot of the street.  If a situation like the one you describe happens he masks up, goes over to the car, knocks on the window (steps back 6 feet) and says in a very polite tone "hey there, do you need help or assistance?"  He explains that we're a close neighborhood that watches out for each other.  Most of the time it's someone making a call (better to park than to drive while distracted) or something equally innocent.  Is it possible for one or two people to approach the car and ask?[/quote]

This would be my exact approach if I did anything at all.

If the dude showed up a second day I would definitely ask what the deal is.[/quote]

White woman here. If a man approached my window as I sat in my car (maybe I'm waiting for someone, maybe I'm on the phone, maybe I'm just escaping my house for 2 hours--absolutely none of his business) I would not acknowledge him. If he persisted, I would gesture to him to leave me alone one time. If he persisted again, [b]that window would come down and he could expect a face full of mace. [/b]Please do not condone white men going around preying on innocent people sitting in their cars. Tell him sto stop that.[/quote]

Someone offering assistance becomes someone "preying on innocent people" and deserves a face full of mace?  You sound unstable.  Escalation is not always the answer.[/quote]
