so of course a few questions arose
not picking and certainly not trying to diminish your story or situation, ones safety and ones family safety are paramount, only actually being at the scene can provide all the details like you did.

1. Why not call 911 while your decoying the follower? Or at first indication an unsavory event may be happening? Its sounds like these persons were watching others before you arrived
2. car in the atm wrong direction and then one pulls up to the odd side ? evasive maneuver to get ones self and children out of potential harms way , wife would have drove over a hedge or ?? not picking, we were trained by folks that live to not be boxed in...
3. we shared your story with my mother in law 86 because her and her friends on bingo nights are targets..


again thanks for sharing, as it brought forward a conversation on awareness of our surroundings.

Happy to answer, and certainly do not feel like you are picking.
1. While it was going on, I never felt like it was more than people just being idiots. It was not until later that night that I was even aware this (jugging) was a thing.
2. At the location there were plenty of outs if I needed them. But the car coming by on the wrong side did make me a little more aware of what was going on.
3. I also shared with my mom, step-mom, and mother-in-law.

(The signs at the edge of town reads POP. 5,500 but some 1,500-2,000 of 'em are either in one of the prisons or the state hospital.)
