In (on?) my local non-DU forum (NextDoor) ...

A member posted that she saw someone, wearing camouflage pants, riding a bicycle, who stopped and dug around in a 'city dumpster'.
He didn't take anything before taking off …
but he looked 'Hispanic' !

(I'm in Albuquerque where 49.3% of the population is 'Hispanic')

She warned everyone to "Be on the lookout!"

Usually it's legit, like a report that somebody's trying car doors or peeking in windows; sometimes it's just a neighborhood Karen like that one. Those sorts get pounced on pretty hard.

the scare posts about strangers are integral to the business plan.
