And it's gonna be one of those nights: reader Sue emails us this:
PLEASE WATCH OUT FOR AN EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS WHITE CHEVY VAN WITH LICENSE PLATE # 7N8882. WITH A FOR SALE SIGN IN THE BACK WINDOW CRUISING THE STREETS AROUND EAST ALTADENA TONIGHT. THEY WERE PARKED ADJACENT TO OUR DRIVEWAY ON PINECREST AND E. ALTA DENA WHEN I ARRIVED HOME TONIGHT JUST ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO, THEN DROVE OFF WHEN THEY SAW ME PULL IN. I DROVE BACK OUT AND ALTHOUGH DRIVING SLOWLY, THEY TRIED TO EVADE ME AS I FOLLOWED THEM (I KNOW, BUT I WANTED THAT LICENSE PLATE #), INCLUDING TURNING AROUND IN A CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY ON SKYVIEW. THEY WERE LAST SEEN HEADING WEST ON ALTADENA DRIVE, AND THEN TURNED NORTH ON LAKE.
I DID CALL THE SHERIFFS BUT THEY WEREN'T ESPECIALLY HELPFUL - THEY HAD A SHOOTING SOMEWHERE THEY WERE MORE FOCUSED ON. THEY AT LEAST HAVE THE INFORMATION INCLUDING THE LICENSE PLATE #.
