I live in North Burnaby and over the past two weeks I've noticed at random hours during the day this guy sitting in his truck parked right in front of my house. Last night at 12:30 I came home through my front door and he's sitting in his truck as I walk in. I stare right at his truck to make it obvious I see him. Within 15 minutes the truck is no longer there. Now at 11am he is sitting in his truck in front my house. I've noticed this for the last two weeks that he has been parking in front of my house and sitting in his car, reading the paper to eating Mcdonalds.

I am thinking of walking out to the sidewalk with a paper and pen and blatantly writing down his lisense plate number so he sees me doing this.

Any other suggestions?

Edit:
I don't think he is a neighbour.

[Dan_Guy]

Or you can approach the car, tap on window, and inquire why he does this, and not be a pussy.

[classified]

prolly the guy who writes parking tickets, got someone like that outside my place everyday

This suggestion is the obvious one. Tap on the window, ask him if he needs help with anything because you've noticed him before.

That is such a fob thing to do. "Look out, stranger, I'm menacingly writing your license plate on a clipboard so I can post about it on Revscene because someone there will tell me how to fix your wagon"

[rsx]

Or...he could be a Private Investigator providing surveillance for GWL or Blue Cross..

[nack]

run outside with a bb gun, and then you scream and pretend to load it


see what happens

[MaximalLazy]

run outside with a bb gun, and then you scream and pretend to load it

He dead.

[Ch28]

You can always call the Burnaby RCMP non-emergency line and report him. They'll most likely send somebody by to check it out since you've been seeing him for the past 2 weeks.

the END!!!!!


:thumbsup:

[bsftong]

Happened at my parents' place once. Turns it the guy was from ICBC, someone made an ICBC claim about not being able to work due to an accident was under surveillance.

Just go up and ask, and if you still feel uneasy about it, call the non-emergency line.

[tonyvu]

^yea exactly what happened to my uncle when he was injured from a claim... ICBC was on his ass till he got better.

[twitchyzero]

icbc actually does that? no wonder they're so money hungry

[bcedhk]

next time place a big rock on the place he parts. so he wont park there no more

[Mr.HappySilp]

Call 911 and said this guy in the truck is doing drugs and look ant child porn.

[Meowjin]

icbc actually does that? no wonder they're so money hungry

yah, they do. I was watched last year, When I approached her car she drove off, she even followed me to ironwood a few times. So I called non-emergency and found out it was ICBC.

[murd0c]

Just make sure you have a big bottle of lube next to your bed or where you are sitting. That's just for when he comes busting through the door ass naked ready to rape you it won't hurt as bad.

they actually do that? isn't that illegal? why don't you file a claim about invasion of your privacy, it could work in the states but I'm not sure about here

[Iceman-19]

Does he look like this?

they are on public property observing. They are waiting for you to toss out the garbage, do heavy lifting.

[q0192837465]

Or he could be stalking ur neighbor's daughter. Leave the poor man be

[AznK]

When your claiming for tens of thousands of dollars, its ICBC's duty to make sure the injuries are legit for the person paying.

[Cman333]

I encountered something like that before too. But not at home, was at work and the guy was just standing across the street walking back and forth. Hiding in a ditch, drinking coffee.

He noticed a couple ppl staring from our work and came over to tell us he's waiting to serve our neighbour papers for some lawsuit.

[moomooCow]

LOL I think if I were to ever get surveyed by ICBC, I'd buy an inflatable hammer and perhaps whatever else I can find and just walk out the front door and start "building" something.

:rofl: :rofl:

[ivanz]

Call police non-emergency and tell them he is always there as others have said. I wouldn't go and confront them unless you have somebody else in the house keep watch, as you never know if its some psycho with a gun/knife.

[godwin]

It is not illegal if they are in public. However ICBC can't track people if they leave North America, say move to some other countries like Brazil.. but they can still collect the damages (a lot of them for life).

Soft tissue damage is big bucks on ICBC's bottom line.. that's why they want to go to No Fault insurance so bad.

i stand corrected

[CP.AR]

do you have any construction sites around your area? I remember when I worked (briefly) at a construction site, I would hop in my car, grab some takeout and then find a quiet street near the site to eat it.

[quasi]

I'm glad ICBC investigates, they should do it more. One of the reasons rates are where they are is because so many people get in an accident and treat it like they just won the lotto. If you're really hurt you have nothing to hide anyway so really it's no big deal.

[SMDBICH]

If you're home alone and you are scared, do what the boy did in Home Alone

[JulyZerg]

A little off-topic. My mom came home one day at 3pm and apparently she saw a Suzuki SX4 inside our driveway, like all the way inside and parked, she was like WTF and he drove off once he saw her coming in, he left before she could get the license plate number, freaky..

[shenmecar]

Yeah, but it seems weird that a construction worker would camp outside someone's house at 12:30 at night eating McD.

OP should give the non-emergency line a call.

The key word is to say " I sometimes have trouble doing heavy lifting" or "I feel painful sometimes". They can't prove you wrong coz you use the word sometimes, once a while, randomly. Never say " NEVER". Coz is too easy to prove you are wrong. Read it on some other fourms.

[beetea]

I've had two dudes in two vans follow me around for half my day. I went to the doctors in the morning and come out and see two guys across the street, as I get into my car, they get into their vans and pull U-turns and one is behind me and one is on my right. I was like this is kind of odd. Then I go pick up my girlfriend and I park in front of her house and then one of them parks a couple cars back from me and another drives around and parks halfway down the block in front of me. My girlfriend comes out and then I drive to the dim sum restaurant and I notice they're still tailing me. So I pull into the left turn lane and throw on my left turn signal for a while and he's sitting behind me with no signal to turn either and there are no cars around. As I turn left he turns left, so I now can assume they've been following me for sure.

Here's the best part, I go into restaurant and we order some stuff and I notice this random white dude with a purse enter shortly after. We get seated in this empty part of the place and I over hear him saying he has a group of 10 and wants to sit over there (next to us) and he's sitting there alone with this huge purse on the table facing my direction, and I'm like that's probably a video camera.

So after 30 minutes of him sitting there alone, he gets up and starts to leave. He walks to our table and he pretends to drop something and points his purse right in my face. So I throw up the middle finger to the bag as hes picking something up. He leaves.

After our meal me and my girlfriend were kind of laughing about the whole incident. But there's one more piece to the story, I noticed his car was still in the parking lot, so I walked by to see if he was in the car. He had dropped his seat all the way back and was lying there trying to hide, I simply knocked on the window and gave him a thumbs up and took a crazy route home.


Knowing that I wasn't going to get raped by these dudes I should of just picked up my friends and took these bastards on a crazy adventure somewhere, that would of been golden.

[- kT]

^ lolwtf

did you ever even find out why two dudes were following you around videotaping you?

[Meowjin]

oh yeah like you wouldnt do the same.

FYI, I got in an accident 2 years ago and I just sued, Getting in an accident at a moderate speed actually does fuck up your back, neck or shoulders.

so did u ever find out
we need to know more

[124Y]

A stereotypical assumption would be that the man may be observing you or your neighbour to get a hold of your daily routines so they know when you or your neighbour leaves the house and comes back. They'll break into your house once they know when you or your neighbour is not home.
Because of that possibility, I would contact the RCMP on the non-emergency line and let them know the situation.

When I drove my g/f home one night, I accidentally cut this Chevy Trailblazer off and I noticed that he was tailing me to the neighbourhood that my g/f lives in. I got suspicious and I pulled over to the side to let him pass (also so I can get a glimpse of the driver's face and license plate when they drive by). He turned into the next side-street and U-turns out (I can see the headlights) and did the same thing 3 times. I was getting a bit nervous because I didn't want them to know where my g/f lives, just in case if they want to start shit. I called the non-emergency line and told them the situation and the description of the vehicle and plate #. They told me to stay in the vehicle and they'll check what's up. 5 mins later the operator called back and told me that they're cops and they're just doing a check-up on that area. FML!!!!!!!!

Maybe the suspicious man is a cop investigating something near OP's place?

[quasi]

Someone wrote their car off rear ending me last year. I didn't make an injury claim I easily could have if I wanted to milk the system but thats not how I was brought up. I'm not talking about legit injuries I'm talking about people not hurt trying to scam the system. If you're actually hurt, have to get treatment and have legit pain and suffering then by all means sue. Again, someone who is say missing work because their hurt wouldn't have anything to hide so who cares if ICBC is spying on them?

Same thing happened to me before. And one day I was leaving my house and I saw him again. I did a U-turn and went back to my house, and sure enough he was backing up into my driveway, probably about to break in.

Be vigilant! Make sure you know what this person is up to.

[MR_BIGGS]

^^ Thanks for sharing that.

I will be vigilant. I'm going to ask the neighbours if they know the guy. I'll keep you guys posted.lol

yay! 14oo posts!

Everybody has already told u to call the non-emergency number nd the burnaby rcmp will send somebody over to check it out.

[willystyle]

icbc actually does that? no wonder they're so money hungry
Most insurance companies and big corporations do this, so it isn't ONLY ICBC.

What's the point? you should just call Non-emergency if you are that worried.

There are really only three scenarios that can out of this situation.

He's either a Private Investigator, Police Officer, or a crook.

[Durrann]

for sure call non emergency number
before something happens

not trying to scare u but better safe than sorry

[RFlush]

You better be careful, it could be the wet bandits. Need to fortify your house!

Ok, I'll call the non-emergency number.

For the guy who also lives in North Bby, this is kind of how it looks like:

[Rogue951]

Walk out to them with a big SLR camera and flash and start taking pictures or video of them.
see how fast they run off then.

[beetea]

so did u ever find out
we need to know more


Yeah, called my lawyer and he said it was ICBC.

I had gotten into a bad car accident in 2004/2005, tore ligaments in my ankle and my left knee during the accident. I settled in 2008/2009 and I was always in physical therapy and seeing my doctor and what not. I guess they didn't believe me, but that was the only time I've ever spotted them. Who knows how many countless times I had been followed haha.

It ended my hockey career for 3 years and I never got to finish my last year in Midget.

Gaining a shit ton of weight as well.

But I wasn't really afraid of anything from ICBC, it wasn't like I could fake injuries like that. The weirdest feeling was having them follow you everywhere, it was kind of cool at first, and you're thinking in your head if you could lose them or something. But after a while it gets kind of annoying, especially if they're following you into places.

[Harvey Specter]

I had some man and woman parking their old rusted RV infront of my house during the summer. They would park it late night, leave in another car, come in the morning and move it. They did this for about 2 days before I called the cops. The cops came out and checked the plates, turned out the RV was linked to a dial a dope operation. Always call the cops if you see a car parked on your block or infront of your house you know that doesn't belong there.
