Your paranoid girlfriend decides you're working to much and ignoring her. So to get your attention, she makes up a story of about a potential burglar. She figures that you'll go outside and be her protector. And then you'll come back in, with your manly juices churning, and she'll get to have some "hero sex".
You go outside, see a black kid, and immediately assume that he's the burglar. But you didn't see him actually do anything. So you go back in.
The hero sex your girlfriend was hoping for ends rather quickly because you're too distracted. You're thinking about that kid / burglar. So 5 minutes later, you go out for a smoke.
Again you see that kid. Now he's down the block. You start to think that he's planning to break into one of the houses.
In reality, he's walking up and down the street bored to death while waiting for a friend who lives at one of the houses, and who was supposed to be ready to leave 10 minutes ago. His friend is always late.
So you get in your pickup truck, and start towards him. He sees you, and can't understand why the same creepy guy he saw earlier now seems to be following him. He starts to walk away. Then you drive by real slow and take his picture.
When he gets home, he tells his father about the creepy man in a pickup truck who followed him and took his picture.
The father is very concerned. After all, his son is tall for his age, but still only 12 years old. And there have been lots of stories about pedophiles in the news recently.
But he doesn't call the police. He didn't see you do anything. It would be a waste of time.
So he decides to send you a message. He slashes your tires to send you a warning.
When he got home, he was very proud of himself.
It only took him 10 minutes, and he scared you from raping another child. You'll think twice before you try that in HIS neighborhood!
