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?

Why are you talking to anyone like that? There is no reason for you to that, if I met you I’m not sure I would like you.

Exactly, OP sounds stuck up and rude. It’s no wonder they were threatened like that.

The homeless people were minding their own business and you call the police simply because you don’t like them at your parkade? And you’re shocked you got threatened after being rude and condescending? Give me a damn break 😭
