Then, two weeks ago, the same woman came up to her door and again asked for water for her car. The woman responded that she was “not playing these games” and told her to leave. Right after that, the woman saw two men prowling around the yard. When she yelled at them to leave, they ran away.
Seems these folks should have been at condition red with all the warning they got beforehand.
My first thought. Need water? Use the outside faucet and hose - obviously take down license plate number. Start open carrying, at least in the house, thereafter.
