Sooo....you saw a car you didn't recognize parked on a public road at 6:00 in the morning.
Hmmmm.
I was bored forgive me, I really shouldn't get up that early in the morning when I don't have guns to clean or something.

Don't get me wrong here.
I have no problem at all with having a heightened awareness of the "unusual" behavior. I think it is just good sense to watch & wait to see what they do. But to call the police is absolutely no different than a "MWAG" call by a non-gun person.
Jay, you may know that a guy just walking around with a gun is probably not a threat but the average person doesn't. You say you would watch more closely & see if there is any indication that there is a threat. You wouldn't call the cops unless you could articulate the threat. That's all I'm advocating here. Why call the cops for a car on a public roadway absent an obvious threat?
We really can't complain about MWAG calls if we support MIAC (Man In A Car) calls. Try to justify it all you want but there really is no difference.
Snowman,
No, I didn't see those posts about your co-worker but that really doesn't change the situation...much. Would I be more concerned than if some random car was there absent the threat by your co-worker? Yes. I still don't think that rates a call to the police without some indication that they are really up to no good.
This:So anyway that was my morning, go ahead and tell me everything I did wrong.
decided hey I guess I better get ready for work
Got up this morning at dark30 (0330) and watched the wife get ready for work always great.

Well, this thread certainly emphasizes the difference between urban dwellers and rural people.
When I was growing up we knew the vehicles of everyone that lived on our road. If a strange vehicle went down the road it was noticed.
I live in the city now and still look out the window every time a car goes down the street. Do I know who every car belongs to? No. Do I recognize most cars yes.
While in the city it may not be unusual or suspicious for a vehicle to randomly stop in the street @ Oh-dark-hundred, in the country it certainly is. Particularly when it is by your house. Was it nothing? Most likely, but given the time of day I, too, would be concerned that my house was being cased.
The only thing I would have done different, and only if my spidey-sense was really tingling, would be to take a picture of the vehicle. Easy enough to delete if everything is ok, but potentially a lead if something bad happens.
No picture but I can tell you it was more than likely a gm make mid to late 90s suv tracker type or a geo or suzuki of the same standarad considering they are all pretty much the same car, more than likely a two door, with the license plate mid tail hatch with no license plate. As far as post pics.. i guess ill throw you a small bone
.Waiting until a potential threat becomes a threat that you can articulate, is like waiting until you get mugged and THEN try run home for your gun.
Dude that's just freaky. My current view...
what's wrong with windows 7? it's practically the best OS Microsoft has ever produced! I've got it running on all of our computers and have even installed it on ones that barely ran 95 because of such crappy hardware!
