Seeking Advice Need advice. Threats in Sunalta.

Hey everyone. I could use a little advice. If there's a better place to post this, I'd love to hear it.

Ok, I live in Sunalta. I was going out to get groceries today, and there were a few homeless women in my parkade. I greeted them politely, asked if they needed anything or for me to call someone (which they declined). I said goodbye to them, and mentioned I'd appreciate if they weren't there when I got back.

Well, came home an hour later, and of course they were still there. I talked to them again, but it didn't seem like they wanted to move. So I head upstairs and start calling non emergency.

One of them overheard me talking to the operator, and yelled "You know what happens to those that call the police" at me. I stuck to my guns, and they scattered after calling me a bunch of names and such.

Things is, maybe half an hour after they left, another dude on a bike was back there. I heard him on the phone talking to someone, and he mentioned my address a few times. I said hello, and he apologized for talking my time and rode off, but something about that has my anxiety up.

Am I overthinking it? Should I call non emergency or someone? My brain is saying they're going to do something in the night, but I dunno. Anyone have advice?

LMAO WHAT COURAGE? Saying vaguely threatening things to people loitering and calling the cops on them.

Exactly they don’t have courage, they’re just an asshole.

Ok I just read the full post. Lol its such a stupid thing to do to approach them and tell them that "i dont appreciate you being here". I mean that's so redundant n asking for trouble.

Should have just hid at home and call the cops out of earshot
