What should we do if a red car is following us?

Question

My friend and I were just outside walking around my neighborhood, and we noticed a red car driving slowly down the street, always circling back around by us and stopping every so often near us. Suspicious, we ran to my neighbor's house, and rang her doorbell. When she came out, the car stopped probably 30 feet away, and stayed there as we talked to my neighbor. We told her good-bye, and ran as fast as we could back to my house, while the car circled around and followed us once more. We quickly dashed inside the house and the car sped away. There is absolutely no question that it was following us, it's definitely not a coincidence. We also saw the car driving around earlier that day. What should we do? Should we call the cops?

Answer 1

It would probably be a good idea.  Let them know you were followed by a red car and give them your address.  The driver may keep driving around and could still be in the area.  Who know, maybe it's someone who's been abducting woman in the area and this is a lead?

Answer 2

if you can get the license plate number and if you can get the model of the car or get the best description of the guy and report it immediately to the police.you better let your parents know about it .lock your doors,windows and get some mace and never go anywhere by yourself.

Answer 3

you might want to call the cops and tell them about it and they will probably keep watch in that area. im sure if you knew the type of car, that would help to.

As others have said,call the police. That is definitely suspicious behavior.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Report it, alert the police in case this person comes back.

Answer 7

Just keep an eye out for that car, get it's plate number and description of the driver next time, and report it to the cops as a stalking.

Answer 8

Yes - call the Police.

Report it as a suspicious person or a prowler in your neighborhood. Even if you don't have the plate, give the Police as much of a description as you can remember.

Although nothing happened to you (other than being followed), the Police might be looking for this red car and driver in connection with other crimes.

Answer 9

File a report

Answer 12

Yes. Now. It doesn't matter what time hun. They will answer. If you feel like you are being stalked, then yes call. There are so many crimes these days and you can never be sure. There may be some local crimes in your neighborhood. Check around with the neighbors, friends, police department, and if the car is still following you, call the cops again and then see if you can take out a restraining order. Good luck hun. Be safe.
