I hear footsteps outside on my front porch, slow and quiet. At first I thought it was a random animal, but I go to the window to investigate. I hear footsteps retreating in the gravel and see someone carrying a flashlight.
They're far enough away at this point so I crack open the door, the man turns around and we stare at each other. I'm watching his hands, to see what he is holding. He doesn't know what I'm holding, low and ready behind the door.
After a few moments, he breaks the silence, "I'm looking for Justin." I ask him, "Who are you, do you have identification?" He replies, "It's in the truck." I forcefully say, "You need to leave right now." He starts walking and says, "Tell him to call. I left a note."
His truck is parked around the corner. I watch him walk away and scope the area after he leaves. The note on the door is printed with a phone number and hours to call, with a handwritten "case number". I figure he's a parole officer or something, but the number is for a damn shady bubblegum tow company. The reviews on the internet definitely have a theme of how crooked and greedy this company and employees are.
After a few minutes I take a quick spin around the neighborhood to ensure he really left. I didn't see anyone, nor a truck. Now I'm questioning, Who the bubblegum sends an employee to go creeping around at this time of night to leave a note? Have any of you heard of this before, or is it some kind of casing a house and checking to see vulnerabilities or stuff to steal?
