About 9:45 tonight I took a bag of trash to the outside bin and saw a car parked on Emerson across the street - - where no one usually parks a vehicle. There was a young man in jeans and a silver/black windbreaker standing closer to the corner of Osage and Emerson.

I thought it was strange, but headed back to my door. On a hunch I turned and went to get a better look.

Another young guy came walking up under the trees in the yard of the corner house - it's very dark there. Both guys head for the car. The ''new'' guy is carrying what I can best describe as a Halloween decoration. It looked like a ghost - bright white and stuffed.

I walked toward the street to get a plate number as they drove by me, but they killed their lights until they reached Guadalupe. (From now on - I am bringing a flashlight at night).
