Suspicious White Van...

Looked to be highly reinforced - three shadey dudes in the front - all Anglo, 2 well groomed, one gruffy beard - all in black t-shirts and shades.

Spooks?

Don't mind us. Nothing to see here. Just go on about your business.

It's always a white van, like stealth.

When I flew Con Air, the scumbags usually showed up in something like this. Could you see a "cage" inside? Well groomed is a big hint, Federal Marshals were always sharp( appearance and mentally). FBOP guys were generally over weight and kind of sloppy.

Glad they weren't parked out front of my house.

Funny aside...years ago, a van parked on the edge of my property. A guy inside, kept jumping from front to back. Scared the krap out of him when I walked up, armed, and said: "Can I help you?"

Turned out to be a private Dick...surveillance duty on a divorce thing...

Also, did you notice any other vechicles? I see a black Suburban. I could be a prisoner transport or plumbers.

Price of Jet A-1 is up, so they are keeping the black 'copters in the hanger.

There was a cage behind the front seat. Black Suburbans are as common here as pickumups.

Might be following you...perhaps after a tip from an attractive black girl that you were flirting in a suspicious manner.

What did the license plate read?.... "SPOOKS" or was there a sign on the side of the Van that said "Spooks For Hire" or "The Obama Patrol"
