Mem. Park goers, BEWARE of this car

link to pics below

I posted about a week and a half ago that someone broke into my car on the night of 8/17 between 9:20 pm to 10:10 pm. There was a suspicious red 2012 Camaro which looped around twice and came and parked near me. This Camaro was staying idle with their engine running while I got ready for my run; I never saw anyone exit this vehicle and didn’t think anything of it that night. However, when I made it back to my car to see the passenger window was busted and my bag of valuables was stolen, it wasn’t hard to connect 2 + 2 together.

Not even two weeks later, guess what car I see! Yes, yesterday evening when I finished up my run at 8:50 pm, said red Camaro rides past me minutes later on E Memorial Loop drive (two way street, just a bit after the driving range) with their windows all the way down and looks at me like they’ve just seen a ghost. This was a dead giveaway for me; if buddy hadn’t made eye contact with me in that split second with such a bewildered expression, I honestly wouldn’t have payed much attention (initially I thought the Camaro was maroon, not an orangey-red which the sunlight had revealed to me that day). He obviously noticed the vehicle he had broken into not even two weeks prior, and after stealing my wallet and deciding which credit cards to use, I’m pretty sure he caught a glimpse of my face on my drivers license.

So whatever I decide to try and not jump to conclusions and sit and wait to see if he’ll loop back around since there is no outlet heading toward the tennis courts. I wait about 10 minutes, no muscle car heading my way so I decide to just drive down near the roundabout finally at about 9:05 pm. I get a better glimpse of the camaro. Initially I notice their custom rims which have a silver lining along them which instantly brings up flashbacks of me walking past this car multiple times on the night of the 17th. I remember seeing these rims as I looked down that night attempting to not make awkward eye contact with someone sitting in their running car that night (8/17).

So I park across the two way from him, because guess what he’s still just sitting there in his car (I snap pics of the Camero, it is 9:06pm. It can be seen he has his lights on inside the car and is fiddling w s**t)! I pop my trunk open (so he won’t see the unique bumper sticker my bf bedazzled our car w), and go sit along the backside of my car and call my boyfriend at 9:07 pm to tell him what’s happening. I talk with my boyfriend, and then he finally decides to get out of his car and place something in his trunk (understandable, 4 ppl who are like him). I’m starting to think ok maybe I’m looking too much into this; he’s probably about to go run. However this is until buddy decides to hop back in his car, turn on the engine and drive off.

It’s now 9:12 pm as marked on the photos. I reverse out my spot and follow behind him to none other than the Everglades where he decided to break into my car not too long ago. Funny enough, on our way there as you can see a park utility vehicle is in front of him and it’s not going as fast as he wants (is he nervous?). He doesn’t succeed in attempting to pass him and pulls in finally to the parking lot. I don’t pull in with him, I decide to go a bit further down to an entrance closer towards memorial dr. I pull in and park. Now this is where I don’t know if he’s trying to knock me off his trail or what but from where I’m parked (parked right by the restrooms closest to memorial drive) I see him get out of his car and what looks like head towards the running trail. I watch him walk further down the trail as I get out my car, and think okay maybe I’m trying to see something that’s not there. I go sit on a bench, and wait a bit just to see if I notice anything more. I wait about 10 minutes and just decide to go get better pictures of this guys plates, you know since he left his car finally to go maybe workout. I take pics and it’s now 9:31 pm as time stamped on the photos. I feel like a creep as I’m walking past his car taking pics, but finally make it back to my car.

Low and behold, in my car and I look back at the camero.. his freaking lights are on! Dudes back in his car, if he ever even left it (I swear bc I wouldn’t have walked close by to get better pics of the plates if car wasn’t off and looked empty). I call my boyfriend back to tell him, it’s now 9:34 pm. What’s with this guy? It’s like he didn’t come to work out and instead is scoping out the place to see who would be his best target?!??

I get off my phone with my boyfriend. I decide to leave my spot near the restrooms and park closer toward the running Camero. For this, I have to get back on E Memorial Loop drive which is a two way with only two lanes going either way. I look over when I pass his car, and there he is just sitting in his car with it running. I park right in the middle (where an opening pathway to the closest neighborhood is), a couple cars down from him. I see about four adults having a lengthy conversation just across from behind his car. I decide to get back out and walk towards a bench in the inner of the running loop again to wait and see if I’ll see this guy in action. However, these four adults stayed for awhile. I take another picture of his running car, it’s now 9:46 pm. My boyfriend now gives me one last call at 9:53 pm telling me to come home. I stay on the phone with him as I’m walking back to my car, and as I’m getting closer to the parking lot the camaro finally decides to swiftly back out and finally leave the park. Sketchy if you ask me.

Now I hate to be a Karen (I am a huge libtard aka progressive), but this behavior at this park is highly unusual. Like I have stated I come to this park weekly; daily if I can. I get it chilling in your car getting yourself ready for an intensive workout, but guy didn’t even work out. Last time I saw this behavior I was giving benefit of the doubt and look what happened. I also found it very odd how he decided to move parking spots completely after I went and parked near him by the tennis courts. Then of course he chose the Everglades of all places to park, like c’mon déjà vu!

I am posting this in hopes to save someone financially the trouble I just went through. Maybe I’m a crybaby but as a young broke college student this guys a mad ho and I hope he eats s**t sometime soon. Again now, this is a red 2012 Camero. Almost along the lines of an orange-red in the sun. The license plate reads KLP 4226. His rims are all a solid color, until the outermost ring there is a silver lining. This guy looked like a fair skinned Hispanic male. His hair was buzzed and black. Please be on the lookout, his obvious lick times are from 9 to 10 pm.
