My husband and I went to throw our paper route tonight only to discover a very serious problem... We were being stalked.
Two nights in a row this white car has sat in the same Del Taco parking lot as us. When we leave, they would appearantly leave. Tonight after we finished folding our papers and started to leave, they left, but going a different way...though kind of fast. As we were driving down Main Street I could see them on the back streets, driving rather fast to keep up with us. As we turned down the street we needed to get on, we thought we were okay and it was just a fluke thing. Threw the first paper, than suddenly we had this white car come racing up behind us and got on our ass. Didnt put a blinker on or anything even though we were crossing 3rd Street. Got to the second house and started to pull into the drive way.... the white car got on our ass again, but kept going, stopped for longer than usual at the stop sign, than went ahead.... to 5th Street where they suddenly pulled over, stopped, and waited. We took longer than usual getting out of the driveway to see what they were doing. After we pulled out onto the street, they suddenly turned left... but a strange left... in a way that anyone would know that they had pulled over again.
These people know our route...we know they know. You can just tell. And that scares me.
I looked at my husband and told him I was feeling uneasy and scared. Like something was off and really bad. He was feeling the same way. I told him to get onto a main street as quickly as possible because I didnt know what was going on, but I felt like I had all the oxygen sucked out of me. That's how scared I was.
We drove home obviously, but as we were driving home, we started to rethink the past 4 nights. The first night a white car and another car suddenly turned their headlights on almost 2 blocks away from where we had parked to fold papers and came racing up towards our car TOO close... they went by our car more than once that night. By night two we felt really uneasy, like we were being watched. By night three we decided to fold papers at Del Tacos parking lot on Main Street. It's well lit. We had only been sitting there for a little while but we took notice to the cars around us.. and a white one was there. Similar to the same one we saw the night before. The car came to the parking lot after we got there. We didnt think anything of it though. And then that brings me to tonight...
We called the newpaper and want to know what they told us? That they have all been followed from time to time too, just to go back in half an hour and finish the route. ....The driver before us suddenly quit one night... he was a no show. Makes you wonder, doesnt it? ....Now, why dont we do this? They will charge us $750. My husband put his 30 day in last night and they still havent picked it up.
So, we will finish the route tonight but we are waiting until daylight hits. Fuck that. We are not risking OUR lives for fucking papers. The route is in a really bad area of one of our neighboring cities.
