Default An unnerving situation today

On my way to work this morning 0630 I became aware of a car behind me with a couple of the usual mip mops on board. I ignored it as usual, but then as I turned off the main road this car made a complete u-turn to follow me.
I could see them eyeballing me and I realised something wasn't quite right.
They kept close behind me making several obvious manouveres to stay with me so I turned into the local "nik" for safety.
I then reported it and I was later informed the car was taken off somebody (stolen) the day before and was on false plates.
The car was later chased and 1 of the mip mops arrested.

It certainly made me think.

Good result good job you had your wits about you


I always am wary of any Car changing direction and following me

I't not long before I hands free on phone to Plod, normally heading for a crowded area or a about 20 miles away in 4 minutes

Luckily I was familiar with my surroundings etc but I'm sure things would have been different had I been in a strange place.

I have gone through this cenario loads of times in my head but I never envisaged it at this time of day.

Life in Scooby ownership eh, lol.
