Years back some weirdo came by here trying to sell my (then) wife books, our daughters were in the side yard playing, she told him to leave, he whipped out his phone started taking pictures as he walked to his car.
I wasn't home on his first visit, he came back two days later, I ran him off with a piece of american hickory I keep near by. On his 2nd trip here, he claimed he was working for the census dept, I was like sure thing dip chit that's every 10 years, and you're 2 years late. What about the books you were trying to sell a few days back? His face completely changed. GTF out of here I told him.
About a mile after he left I got in my truck and followed him for a good long ways, to make sure he left the area completely.
