and not just because of covid or my being a loner. Saw a post on Nextdoor showing a guy's driveway Tesla video of a car driving by slowly then stopping, guy gets out, knocks on garage door, then goes to gate, looks over, then leaves when nobody answers.

Nextdoor went nuts! OMG, someone is casing the joint! Call the police! Post after post about how shady they looked and what nefarious deed they were up to.

Only two people had dissenting views, which reflected my own thoughts: that it looked like someone either got the address wrong, or it was like a craigslist free item pickup.

But the hysteria evident was mind-blowing and frightening.

Sign o' the times, I guess.

Poor kid, wrong place wrong time.
