Yeah, I once walked up to a car — it vaguely looked like mine and parked very close. I noticed the dash was different and moved on.
A lady was dead certain I was casing her car. She threatened to call the police and wrote down my plate.
Another time I saw some guy stealing from a pickup truck. I reported it, and the store suspected me of being a theif who was ‘covering my tracks’. Had me, my car, and my plate photographed.
I've got a very common SUV in a very common color (white). I've walked up to the car and been mystified that the door wouldn't open. You can guess the rest....
