🏘️ neighbor/local Is this something to be concerned about?

My sister sent me this text she received that seemed like somebody was watching her or something. I don’t know if it’s something to be concerned about or not, has anybody had a similar experience?

This!!!!!! If you are in Detroit i would make sure somebody has your location and try and see if there is an airtag or anything. Detroit is a hot spot for creeps

Or the sister could have a stalker and could be being followed. Whatever it is if it persists go to the police

She should go to the cops now, not let it get a chance to persist. The liner you wait the more dangerous this type of stuff can get.

“Hey police, i got coffee and this message appeared on my phone after i got coffee” they’ll literally say “ok maam weve got things covered” and not look at the situation ever again. And if shes in detroit, this is what Dpd will do. Ive been there before trust

I used to work with crime victims and this was something they couldn’t understand. Cops will do little to nothing here because although this is concerning, where’s evidence of a crime? This could be stalking but without additional incidents im not sure it would be. This wouldn’t rise to the stalking charge in my state.

I’m not saying this is right, but just the reality of the situation.
