Law Students

On my way home from work yesterday I spotted a car some distance back in my rearview mirror. It was a dark late model Ford that looked as if it could be an unmarked cop car, so I slowed down a bit and kept my eye on him. Eventually I moved to the right one lane; he followed suit. As my exit approached, I moved to the far right lane, and so did the mysterious car, which was now behind me and gradually catching up to me.

I exited the interstate onto a busy street and then took yet another exit from that street to head toward home. The car continued to follow me. I made a turn at the stoplight, and a couple of miles later made another turn into my neighborhood - still with my "tail." By now I was suspicious that he was purposely following me for some unknown reason. So I bypassed my street and called T to fill her in and let her know that I was almost home with her Jimmy John's dinner, but would be taking a short detour. The dark car finally turned at a stop sign onto a road with no outlet.

I made a wide "circle" around my neighborhood and eventually turned in again. As I approached my street for the 2nd time, the car was now approaching me from the other direction. I got weirded out and passed up my own street for the 2nd time. I watched him slowly leave the neighborhood in my rearview mirror before I turned around and finally headed to my driveway.

Crazy I guess, probably just a weird coincidence, but one can never be too careful.
