| Help: Should I Be Concerned?
So I slept over at the gf's house last night as usual. Parked my car in the front of her house. Just now, her aunt told me that someone was taking close up pictures of my car at around 10:30am. First the back, then the front. Then the sides.
I have no frikkin' idea why she didn't notify me or any one else in the house or even ask the guy what he was doing. She said he was a young asian with glasses, about 5'5 or so. My car is an 04 TSX bone stock, except for front Prelude rims with snow tires and olympic plates.
Should I be concerned?
TIA

I don't understand why the guy would need indepth pictures of your stock car if he was planning on stealing it...?
That said, it does seem kinda sketch and I suggest a STAKE OUT1!! =]

maybe he has a prelude that had its rim stolen, and thinks it might be you. or the guy has beef with you and is a coward, he wants to fuk with your car instead of face to face

Rims are from my friend's prelude which he still has, so I'm not concerned if the person reports that I could have stolen those. And I can't think of anyone that would have beef with me. I rarely go out partying or places with a lot of people nor do I associate with multiple groups of people. Now, I really wish that i was notified so I could have confronted the guy. Oh well, can't do much now but wait and see if anything happens.

I would wait as well.

maybe your gf's aunt is just tripping out
what would be the point of taking "close up pictures" ? especially if your car is just stock
maybe he just wants a TSX and was taking big shots of it?

you rarely see a tsx with lude rims, maybe he just liked/disliked what he saw and decided to take pics.

he prob has to make a model or art drawing of your type of car and needs pictures to go off of.
taking detailed pictures at 1030am sounds more what a hobbyist might do, not someone to be worried about.

Given the gang war happening. I'd be freaked out and the first thing I'd suspect is that someone was scoping my car out for a hit! I'd change your plates ASAP to something that will tell them its not who they're looking for. Like, [ILUVPHO]

| Photographing Cars
I found it odd when on Friday I was at the insurance place at the corner of 6 and Kingsway in New West and when leaving I checked left and saw a woman photographing a car and when I drove to the right I saw a guy photographing a car in a driveway. He looked at me as I drove past with a weird look-like I was catching him at something. Or I could be reading too much into it.
He didn't exactly look "gangsta". Maybe a touch more "Arnold Palma"?
