TOD:
Not so much scary as disturbing in other ways.
Many years ago, in the 1970s, I was living in a small duplex at Venice beach, which is now part of Marina del Rey. I was housesitting my friends' dog, Happy. Happy and I were about to go for a walk and left via the kitchen door, which was on an alley. There was a large moving van parked on the other side of the alley and next to it stood a tall, nice-looking white male. He couldn't look more clean-cut if he tried. Blue eyes, and I think he even had on a powder blue cardigan. He spoke to me, saying something like, "Taking the dog for a walk?" I said yes and on we went.
When Happy and I returned the moving van was gone and in its place were several police cars. I asked one of the officers what was going on. It seems that Mr Clean-cut with the Blue Eyes was part of a gang of thieves who had just robbed a number of houses. I was just talking to him! And the people he was stealing from had nothing.
