This will be kinda long.
Let me preface this with a little background info. I'm a college student and live with my parents. Our house is on a corner and dead end (the cross street and main road in my neighborhood intersect next to my house).
This evening, at about 9pm, my dad got home (my mom and I were already home). As he pulled up, he saw a car parked in our driveway. When the guy drove away, my dad made a lap around the block to see if the guy had parked somewhere else and saw that he was now sitting on the side street that runs next to my house, a couple houses down. From where he was sitting, he had a view of our back door and sliding glass door that opens onto our deck. My dad immediately called 911 and checked our garage to make sure it was locked and nothing was missing.
Two police cars pulled up within a few minutes and the guy (we thought) began to drive away. He stopped in front of the house diagonally across the intersection from my house and started to walk toward the house when the officers stopped him. They stood there talking to him for about 10-15 minutes. When they were done, both cops left and the guy went into the house.
I'm not quite sure what to make of the whole thing. The cops didn't bother to tell us what was going on or call us back to let us know what happened. My mom is home alone pretty often, and will be more so after this weekend, since I'm moving closer to school, and I'm a little concerned.
What would you guys do in this situation?
