Stranger Danger! "Not interested, what do you not understand"?

I am currently on myLot while my boyfriend & dad works on the fence out in front.
Randomly a man comes up and greets to propose a question about "windows". Clearly we have remodeled our windows already yet he questions if we are interested?
My dad said no thank you - we are busy. Then the man said thank you & continues to ask if we were the homeowners.
Why does it matter if we are the homeowners or not? We are NOT interested!
I also have a hunch that the man wanted to go up closer to see if they were paying attention because my boyfriend had his wallet , phone and keys on the bench near them. I blurted out in Vietnamese and he looked startled that there were more people in the house or something!

@marlina Yeah but we were secured in a gated area so he wouldn't get in anyway. Perhaps he thought he could open the gate while they were not paying attention - who knows.

Hahaha my dad spoke English. Then I just screamed in Vietnamese and it startled the guy! Had a said it in English he probably wouldn't be startled because he would understand.

He could have been looking to steal by the look of it or the two things. Take care of belongings and its so easy to forget yourself for a while. We all do that too.

@infatuatedbby Oh well that's good. I don't like it when they ask too many questions and keep on pressing when it's quite obvious you're not interested.

@much2say Yep metal bars! :)
I don't like strangers asking more questions when it isn't necessary.

Yes! No one messes with us!

While working outside, your BF should have placed his valuables inside the house. You can never be trusting these days.

But little did the man know we have security cameras and the gate was closed - so he could not get in

@sunrisefan Secured in with bar gates & locked, it is impossible for the man to get in :)

@infatuatedbby Security cameras would be after the fact. What if he runs away with the phone and the wallet?

Yes, why would they care if we were the homeowners or not. It has nothing to do with windows as the window are still new and updated so that was a red flag.

Yes you are right! Even so, he would have not have gotten in. We have gates and they're all locked.

That does sound a bit suspicious, doesn't it? Seems we have to be careful always.

Instinct is a good thing to listen to in my opinion.
We've had a lot of instinct bred out of us with politeness and pc and all that.
It's still worth listening to the lizard brain
Look at number 3
Instinct is there for a reason.

It always pays to be aware and alert at all times. Good job!

Yes it does! I was taught to be alert, even from walking alone or driving home. If a car follows for a long time, trust your instinct, and, go a different route.
