    I just got a call from someone claiming my number was left on their car after it was hit. I tried to explain to the guy that I had not hit him or anyone else but he would not listen and started cussing me out. I hung up, texted him that it was not me and blocked his number.

    I understand being upset about someone hitting your car and leaving, but no need to be a jerk. Only thing I can think is that I placed a couple of CL adds over the weekend and someone may have gotten my number that way, or just wrote a random number and it just turned out to be mine. I know neither myself nor my wife have hit anyone (no damage to either vehicle and my wife would have told me).

    Strange thing is, I was supposed to meet someone regarding one of my adds at the Bass Pro parking lot and they never showed or replied to my texts or calls. After giving them a good while, I left and am pretty sure I was followed until I did a couple of U-turns before I got home. Same truck over 20 miles and several turns (including a U-turn) before they finally went on. Maybe related, maybe not. maybe just coincidence, but a strange two days.

    That sucks! I always just leave the craigslist made email address for people to contact me. That way I can decide if they are crazy or not before I give phone numbers.

    Yep. It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you! :D
