Call 911, keep driving till a sheriff catches up or a trooper, use your cell phone camera in hindsight

She was pretty close and freaked out when she called. A trip to the PSP barracks would have been the best. Not thrilled about her bringing it home, but so far so good.

It is good the van driver saw you saw them.

Glad to hear she’s safe.
If she doesn’t already have CCL, hopefully she will soon.

I'm guessing that they wernt expecting that as the "Find out" portion of the evening. Still wish I got a plate.

Purple and the sticker on the back should be enough for the local PD. As an aside, wife and I were in a scheduled lull in the action at work yesterday and somebody close touched off 4 rounds we could hear from inside the office, we both perked up and were looking out our respective windows looking and listening and the wife gave it about 10 seconds and came into my room to see if I heard it, couple patients were walking into the office about 30 seconds after that and heard it too, gave the cops the heads up and they made a couple laps around the neighborhood, they were looking about 3 minutes after I called, a construction crew working a block and 1/2 away heard it also per the cops, nothing was found, oh well.

It's unfortunate you weren't standing there taking phone video when she pulled in.

I would install a driveway cam and place it on permanent record. I have 4 different cameras around the property set on permanent record.

A Ring door cam would also be useful. I hate to say it but people are getting blatant about there criminal activities.

I hope nothing more becomes of this encounter.

I was standing there, and if they had pulled in the driveway there would have been a flash. Way more concerns than a phone.
