Originally posted by DeadJohn The linked article says "Masha, who had been driving the car, had noticed the dark car following them after they had left the photoshoot." What that doesn't indicate, though, is whether the victim considered it a coincidence; lots of cars coincidentally take the same turns.
I've noticed cars following me lots of times. It never lead to a robbery. Usually either I get to my exit or they get to theirs and they just turn off.
Once late in the evening travelling late, tired, I picked a "guy" like I sometimes do, and just followed him, it's sometimes easier than just driving. It worked out fine until he turned off onto a side road where a couple houses from the highway he turned into his driveway.
Turns out it's not smart to follow someone unless you know where they're going.
