I had a similar incident not to long ago...as some may remember. You know something? Everything went ALRIGHT and is taken care of.
You know who were the scary people that had me staying up all night? Not the FBI, or the CIA, or the local Police, or the State Police, or Homeland Security, or the Secret Service, or the SWAT teams, but the very people in this forum.
"this seems phishy..."
"it's ODD to have fbi and state trooper..."
"a robber is gonna get you..."
^^^^
All that stuff proves that human beings have a serious problem with rationalizing probabilities. People are worried over things that will almost NEVER happen to them like being a victim of police corruption but they aren't worried about things that happen more often like car accidents or mismanaging your money and becoming broke.
I read somewhere that Novelty + The Unknown = FEAR
