After waiting about 15 minutes, nothing bad happens. Just about the time I start to think this is a "safe" spot some dude comes down the street on a bicycle. Now it's a weekday at 1:30am in the morning. What is this guy doing riding around on a bike so early in the morning. So I duck down as he passes by. After he passes I pop back up and in my side-view mirror I see him pull into the driveway of the house behind my van, what bad luck! Why couldn't he have lived somewhere else.

So I remain in the driver's seat and wait. After a while, nothing bad happens, so I decide to head to the back of the van and go to sleep. While I'm pulling all my stuff off the bed in preparation for my slumber, I notice an outline of a head through one of the side windows. Someone is trying to look into the van. Now that really freaks be out. The dude on the bike must be checking me out. At this point, rather than wait for the police to arrive again, I get a jump on them and high-tail it the hell out of there.

After more driving around I finally settle for parking out in the open in the back of a supermarket. Feeling rather exposed, I don't sleep very well but at least I don't have to worry about a concerned resident ratting me out.
