I think I was being scouted...

[DD977GM2]

So I live in Lakewood (as it says on my member banner) and was on my way home from work today when I noticed a car behind me making all the same moves as me- I turned off of Simms onto 4th, they turned, I turned right on the next street, they followed, then I turned onto the street my apartment complex is on and into my complex, they followed again. I thought maybe they were going to the complex to visit a friend but when I went to my area of the lot and parked they pulled into a spot (all reserved parking too) and turned around and left. My first thought after parking was 'these guys are scouting me and are probably going to come back later to try to break in and rob or even take my car.' Now, I would like to get to bed early tonight and from my apartment I can't see my car (it's on the opposite side of the building), and I really don't want to go hang around outside all night and wait for them to show up so I can introduce them to my 1911. I've already taken all of my valuables out of the car and pretty much just left them with trash, but that still won't help if they break in trying to steal stuff (broken windows and who knows what else) or worse, try to take my car. What do I do here? All I could gather from them was it was a late model (80's/Early 90's) Buick or Chrysler sedan (goldish color) with California plates- not enough to go on for a police investigation. I'm planning on either going out periodically to check on things (like every hour or so) or course CC with my .45, or my brother suggested parking on the street below my balcony and leaving my windows in my apartment open and listen for alarm or glass breaking and go pay the guys a visit with a locked and loaded M415 5.56 aimed at them and wait for Lakewood PD backup to arrive... Need some help here guys, thanks.

Best advice I can think of or ask your brother to swap cars with you for the night
and that way they wont come back based on the assumption you were visiting when they tailed you.
