I don't want the Sheriff to think I'm a nut. Really, can you imagine some middle age Gladys Cravits looking out her window and calling the cops!

But I keep asking myself how I would feel if something happened.

Think of it this way.
 
What if you report it to the authorities, and you're wrong about what you saw? They will check it out (or not) and absolutely nothing will happen.
 
But, what if you don't report it, and it later turns out you were right to be suspicious? Something will happen that you will have trouble living with.
 
Call the police. Better to be wrong than haunted.

some middle age Gladys Cravits looking

BWAHAHAHAHA!  Good analogy!!

Don't feel stupid ...

Recently I was at an ATM and some guy came around the corner with a nylon mask on and walked right up to me.  We looked at each for a second and he walked off.  He stood a few feet away,obviously contemplating if he should try to rob me (I'm 6'2' and weigh about 220, he was about 5'11").  I approched him and asked what he wanted, he just grunted somthing and walked off, took off his mask and disappeared around the other corner.

I got into the car, called the Police and went into detail as to what happened.  They told me to wait until the Police arrive and tell them what transpired.

A few minutes later there was a commotion across the street and 3 guys had him tackled to the ground.

Seems he decided against robbing me and went and robbed an elderly gentleman at an ATM across the street.  Brave crook, wouldn't mess with me but robbed a weaker person.

100% true story.

So next time feel free to call ... you never know.
