I was scurred
So this morning I went to work about 20 minutes later than normal, so I was rushing (kind of..) to my car. Since Zach got his motorcycle hes been parking it directly in front of my car so it is harder for people to see and steal. It is something we pay really close attention to because when we bought the bike the guy tried getting us to buy this extra insurance stuff for if your bike gets stolen, and their pitch to get you to buy this is telling you about how every single guy in the place has had a bike stolen, blah blah blah. So we were concerned about theft and bought a great lock and have been very careful. Anyways, I get to my car and when he moved it last night to put his bike in front he left it unlocked. I get in, look around, everything's fine, alright. As I look down to throw my car in reverse I think I see something moving behind the bike, like a flash of something tan. I figured I was going crazy, but I also knew I'd be wondering if I should have checked all day so that I might as well look. I was pretty sure I was just nuts because for someone to be where I thought I saw something they'd have to be crouching down behind the bike. So I open up my door and stand up and what do I see? A baseball hat! I immediately screamed, and I realllly mean screamed, "hey!" and then immediately was a little concerned because maybe I should have just gone to get Zach instead of dealing with this by myself. Too late for that, so I kept screaming like "what are you doing back there, get away from my boyfriends bike!" I notice there were two people back there and then finally one stands up and its like a 17 year old Hispanic boy. I was immediately slightly relieved. He looked so terrified. He was saying sorry and explained how he was just hiding there so he could smoke, and I knew that was true because I could smell weed as I was walking to my car. I felt so bad for scaring him, but I was still pretty scared myself so I asked them to go hide somewhere else because they really scared me because I thought someone was trying to steal his bike. They kept saying how much I scared them too and apologizing, eventually telling me to have a good day as they walked away from our parking spot. As I'm pulling out there was a cop that was right behind on me the street right outside our gate for our community and for a split second I thought about having the cop scare them away because I was worried that maybe they would steal our bicycles or something (which are right behind the motorcycle so they were sitting in between the bicycles and the motorcycle), but didn't want to get them in trouble because they seemed like good kids. So I started calling Zach so he could just go check and make sure they disappeared.. this happened at 8:30 and Zach didn't pick up til 11:00! He had been jogging the dog. He freaked out because before I could finish the end of the story with them walking away he gets off the phone and runs downstairs. Everything was fine, so he called me back to thank me for freaking him out and I got to finish the story. Anyways, all is good, but I can't believe I actually DID see something moving behind the bike, and it was a person. My heart was pounding for at least the next mile.
