    I’d either pull the trigger on calling the cops, or I’d ask a friend to approach him for you.

    I understand the paranoia, I had a really bad experience with a neighbor, starting **** with people who know where you live can obviously get really bad.

    It’s probably nothing, if you want to be casual again maybe ask a large friend who isn’t afraid to drop a mf (@Nook his next time in town?) to pretend to be a concerned neighbor just wanting to know what he’s been doing there so often, or if that’s not something you want to ask of anybody just go head and call the cops.

    Looks like Dye Beard.

    Maybe you're a butterfly or your neighbors are (too?).

    Some outstanding work Clutchfans! Some of these posts here remind me of the glory days of Hangout and a very nice reprieve from Ukraine and worrying about whether this might be the end of civilization..

    With that attitude you could be a Minnesotan. Passive - Aggressive is an art form here.

    I have a similar situation as for some reason trucks, 18 wheelers, have decided to park in my neighborhood on the commercial streets and overnight. My house is across from a small park from a commercial street and sometimes they leave the engine running all night and I can hear the sound.

    During George Floyd Protest one unmarked truck parked out there and we had just gotten news that MPD said they were overwhelmed and couldn't answer all calls. One of my neighbors got really nervous and asked me and another neighbor to go out and confront the truck. I did and politely told the driver to please not park here. He moved the truck.

    Trucks have limited parking options. The mere size plus nobody wants them around although everybody needs them

    There's also strict off-duty time-based requirements

    True, all Walmarts need trucks just like everyone does

    My point was that their parking lots are open to all truckers 24-7

    Understood your point... I was messing with you a little

    1) Not all Walmarts allow overnight parking for trucks. Cars are allowed

    2) In cases where parking is allowed.. sometimes there's so many curbs, mediums, trees, cars, and other obstacles within the parking lot that a truck might blowout a tire or tear-up some **** while trying to navigate thru it

    3) Walmarts can't support the amount of remaining space needed after truckstops, rest areas, and other private properties are filled

    4) Walmart might be less convenient for the driver to go home or wherever he/she wants to spend time off-duty

    5) Drivers might not have enough hours to reach Walmart

    Probably Dennis Rader 2.0. He's in the "stalking" phase. Do you have a sliding glass door?

    Or he's just another dude bled to death in a divorce and can't afford a studio apartment.

    Yeah, you're right about Walmart being a store-by-store situation. I was going off of talking with a buddy back when he hauled milk for HEB. I asked him where he slept and he said "any Walmart between San Antonio and the Panhandle/NM"...unless I want a shower, then it's a truck stop.

    He's an undercover fed who's mission is to ennoculate you and then plant a tracking chip inside a body cavity while you're asleep. I would definitely take it seriously.
