I need some advice on how to help my mom.
Last year in February we (as a family) cut off all ties with my middle sister, her husband and sadly her kids. Due to things she said/did (her and her husband were living with my parents and threatened them with bodily harm and talked about murdering them, to sum up the long story, my parents kicked them out and got a restraining order). My mom has had a really hard time dealing with this. Today something really odd happened that caused her to react badly. We were getting ready to go out (grocery shopping) when a car drove by slowly, not odd as the house across from us is for sale, and people have been doing that since it was posted. But this particular car seemed to stop in front of our house and stare at it a minute, mom was standing by the truck. I guess the driver and passenger didn't see her, because the second they spotted her they speed off down our lane. Mom said the women was driving and the guy was the passenger. Being a dead end lane, we knew they'd have to come back. So we waited. I was standing at my door, leaning in to get something when they drove back by. They slowed as they approached our house, the guy was now driving, the girl in the passenger seat. (this was maybe 5mins later. long enough to reach the end of the street, turn around and switch drivers) They all but stopped and me and the driver made eye contact for like 5secs before they speed off... never seen that car down our lane before... it's not a lot of houses or anything... that being said, it made my mom not want to go out. fearful it was my sister or some of her husbands friends coming around to do something... How do I help her through that and was that whole experience odd to anyone else or just us? (sorry for the rambling)

It's odd to y'all because of the past experience with your sister. Could of been people just out goofing off, or maybe casing houses to break into...totally unrelated to your sister.
Who knows...just keep an eye out for the same car, or any car doing the same thing. Try to get a plate # and call the law.....












.....or fire off several rounds from your fav firearm. They won't be back

Btw, you don't even need a plate #...just a description of the vehicle. Local law enforcement may be familiar with the vehicle, ya never know....and they may step up patrols in that area.
Call them, explain the situation....it's their job.

@MrWalkSoftly: lol
It was beyond strange

I agree with Walks. I'd keep an I on the house for awhile.

@MrWalkSoftly: we live down a one lane dead end road... we don't have petrols here
But mom said next time, if we see them again, we'll try and get a plate number

@xlace1975x: we had to go to the store, nothing when we got back. Mom said we're going to invest in some security cams for outside, just have to find affordable ones

all we have is a handgun... since our shotguns were stolen some time ago. I keep telling them they need to take me to a range to learn to shot it. I have never fired a gun before lol

it don't take much. And ya don't need a firing range to learn to shoot.

@xlace1975x: I do. There are too many houses right around us.
