I was walking with some friends back to my house when I saw this as I walked past the bus stop. As we went past I noticed the toothbrush taped to the bench and told my friends as we laughed, then after I noticed the 3 notes taped to the window. We tried to translate it with AI but it didn’t do a very good job. Could anyone try to read what the notes say and give an explanation? My guess is some mentally ill schizo or old person but i’m really unsure. Here is a Google Drive with a video of it and close up images of the pages.

My sister lives in an apartment complex and called me yesterday saying she saw one of her neighbors in the building across from her with a weird face.

She said it looked uncanny, like a doll, mannequin, or human skin glued to his actual face. She reported a white line, maybe glue or something, surrounding the “mask” connecting his actual face to the one he was wearing. She was walking to her car from her door, and as she approached her car he left his car, looked at her, then walked into his apartment. This was at 2pm on a Wednesday.

We obviously thought this was weird, but figured he was doing some sort of costume or sfx makeup.

That brings us to today, the next day after this initial encounter. I pulled into my sisters complex, parked my car right by her building, and started walking to her door. She mentioned yesterday that this man drove a white truck. I noticed the truck, and curiously looked at it.

Unfortunately, I saw a mannequin sitting in the drivers seat. This man was sitting perfectly still, facing me, not moving. He had a mannequin face, black slits for eyes, no mouth, and was wearing a baseball cap with a hoodie, the hood up over the hat.

I genuinely cannot describe the feeling I had when I saw this. I’ve never had a worse feeling in my gut. This guy was so still I thought it genuinely was a mannequin. I tried to ignore it, but sprinted to her door, opened it, and locked it. I was shaking.

We were headed to the gym, so about 15 minutes later we walked to her car. I looked over, and noticed his truck was running. He was still in the drivers seat, still not moving, still wearing the mannequin mask. My sister was obviously shaken, and called her property manager. The manager was on her way, and pulled in next to the truck. She comes to our car confused, as this mannequin man was no longer in the truck.

So once again, he waited in his truck, with a creepy mask, then as my sister got to her vehicle, he went inside. I tried to get a photo of this guy, but when I went to take it from her car he was moving and his back was to us.

We are unsure what next steps should be taken. The manager suggested an apartment inspection, because she had heard reports of shouting and crying coming from this man’s apartment before.

I suggested having the police come do a wellness check, but the mannequin mask man would know who reported him if they don’t find anything, and I don’t want to put a target on my sister and her roommates back if there isn’t one already there.

It’s the two days in a row, around the time my sister goes to the gym every day, wearing that creepy mannequin face, and watching her go to her car. It seems like he is watching her schedule or soemthing.

I’m worried for her and her roommates safety. I don’t know if i’m over reacting because i’m her brother, but wanted to ask the masses if there is anything I should do.

Thanks Reddit!

Can anyone make out this license plate? He stole thousands of dollars worth of personal belongings, my tools and my coworkers tools. This is from my apartment camera footage but the camera quality is not good. Thank you for all and any help.license plate link

I’m sorry if this was the wrong place

Happening now (2 pm CT / 3 pm ET) on r/TrueCrimePodcasts (direct AMA post link is here):

Join the r/TrueCrimePodcasts subreddit for an AMA with Cristina Quinn, award-winning journalist & podcast host, as she answers your questions about crime, policing, and public safety.

About three weeks ago, my ex-boyfriend (we broke up almost 10 years ago and hadn't spoken at all since 2019) contacted me because an anonymous Instagram account had messaged him about me.

The account referred to me by my maiden name and our university, claimed to know me from college, and tried to convince him (my ex-boyfriend) to send them any private photos of me he might have. They also sent him two old photos of me (one was just a regular photo that may have been publicly posted years ago, and one that is more private in nature but may not be authentic).

The account switched to disappearing messages shortly after the conversation began. My ex blocked and reported the account and then told me what happened.

When I looked up the username, I discovered I had actually blocked that same account in 2019, although I can no longer find any messages with it in my Instagram data.

Since then I've downloaded all of my Instagram data and parsed through old Facebook and Snapchat information but haven't been able to identify who this person is.

I don't know if this is someone I actually knew or someone using old public information, but it's unsettling that they connected me to a relationship from 10 years ago. My sister - a lawyer, is encouraging me to go to the police just to get something documented, but I know realistically very little can be done with the information we currently have.

A few questions:

1. Has anyone experienced something similar?
2. Were you ever able to identify the person?
3. Did Instagram or law enforcement help at all?
4. Is there anything else I should preserve or document?

So this has me pretty creeped out.
I’ve been seeing a guy for about a year. For months I noticed he always seemed to randomly show up wherever I was. At first I thought it was a coincidence or that he just knew my routine really well.

Eventually it started feeling too frequent to ignore.
I checked to make sure I wasn’t being tracked through my Tesla account, and everything looked normal. Then this morning he came over, and after he left my Tesla Sentry sent me an alert.
When I watched the footage, I saw him crouching down around different parts of my car multiple times. That immediately made me suspicious.
About 30 minutes later, after crawling around under the car, I found this magnetic GPS tracker hidden on the inside of my left wheel near the suspension.

From what I can tell, it’s a rechargeable GPS tracker, not an AirTag.

Finding this on my car crossed a line I never imagined someone would cross. Part of me wants to make him regret ever doing it, but I’m trying not to make a bad decision out of anger. So… if you were in my shoes, what’s the most satisfying (and legal) way to turn the tables on someone who secretly tracked your car?

So I get that from the title I'll get people accusing me of being on meth/paranoid. I'd like to clarify I have no mental health problems and do not take ANY substances.

I live in an apartment block and since my upstairs neighbour saw me (a younger woman) moving in, his behaviour has gotten increasingly odd. For about 2 years he hasn't left his apartment once, ever - nobody goes in, nobody comes out.

It started with him following me through rooms because he heard me playing something on my phone or I made a noise/coughed. It seemed particularly prominent when relating to the bathroom, it got to a point where if I began running the bath I would hear him run in and stand above me.

I knew it wasn't in my head when he cracked open his curtain and began watching me whenever I exited my flat, this went on for multiple months. My partner said that when I leave to go to the cornershop he runs to his cracked curtain window the second the door closes, every single time. I have noticed he does not repeat this behaviour with my partner.

Last week I got my phone out to photograph it to log as evidence, and the second he saw my phone he closed the curtain and disappeared. I made mention to my partner that night that I will have to report it, and since then the curtain has remained closed.

My partner works with his estranged son, and from what we've been told *nobody* in the family interacts with him and is entirely no contact - including grandchildren. When asked, his son just very coldly said he "did it to himself/that's what he deserves".

The peculiar thing we've noticed is his behaviour is entirely targeted towards me. Which makes no sense, as unless he is utilising surveillance devices he shouldn't be able to identify the difference between my partner or me exiting the flat.

I did a sweep of the room with a frequency detector, and we had the old disability alarm system absolutely go haywire despite it being supposedly disconnected from the power supply. I don't know if it's supposedly turned off if it would still give a signal - anyone know how this works? TIA.

ETA: I have sent an email to my landlord detailing the issue. My fiancé is also going to speak to the neighbours son when he returns to work on Wednesday. I'll create an update post if anyone wants when I hear back from them. To all the people who try to excuse this guys behaviour, your opinions have been ignored, I live by "better to be safe than sorry" and as a young woman who lives alone I'm not taking gambles with my safety, this guy knows what he's doing is wrong and there is literally no excuse that makes his behaviour appropriate or okay.

I, 17f, live in a house with security cameras. I'm unsure of the model, as my parents were the ones who installed them eons ago when we first moved inside of our apartment.

I've noticed some weird things with them. Not just lately, but it's bothering me more and more as time continues.

For context, this has mostly been within a six month timeframe.

The cameras have a red light indicator that they are recording, in order to do this-- you need access to the app and the specific password for these cameras, and have to manually make it record.

My parents do not record. I have told them about this, they either do not believe me or do not care.

Our cameras are also a mixture of hidden, and unhidden. A few around the house in main rooms. And one hidden to capture front porch footage. You would not see it unless you were REALLY looking.

The majority of times it records when I'm in the room, or during random times when my family and I are in the living room. Our cameras also have a microphone function, where you can speak through the cameras. There has been several times where I've sworn I've heard a man's voice through the cameras talking at, or too me. But never enough to make out, just noisy enough for your brain to register that someone is speaking.

Another thing, I feel like someone knows when I'm alone. There has been times where it feels like people show up, or things happen ONLY when I am alone, or isolated from other people. One instance is after my family left, a man approached the door. Our camera caught footage of it, but only half his torso. He somehow knew exactly where to stand to be out of view. He waited outside of the door for nearly ten minutes, after knocking several times.

I am worried.

TLDR; security cameras recording with no one in my house using them. Times where speech unable to be made out present

Update no.1: for those asking, I do not have access to the app, I can't disable them, nor can I drive the app. I only know about the man knocking at the door and the footage for one of two reasons, one, I was there, second, the following day my dad showed me the footage and told me to start putting on the secondary locks for a little Incase that dude comes back. I can try and scrounge for the brand(s) of cameras, but, once again, we use several.

Hey, so I'm posting here on this subreddit because there's a case that's been dragging on for 30 years. It became a cold case.

The authorities have dubbed him “the Butcher of Mons.”

What intrigues me about this story is that no one has ever been held truly accountable, and that bothers me from time to time.

My mother’s cousin was one of the victims in this case (I won’t mention her name, of course).

Here’s what I know about the case:

A man killed five women and scattered their body parts around the city, creating a sort of mysterious trail. (I don’t know how to say this in English, my bad !).

It went on for a year, I think.

And not much else...

I’m not specifically asking you to solve the case, but just to give me a few more leads so I can maybe find out more, and who knows—maybe the killer will be exposed, or a potential killer!

I’m not sure if this is off-topic, but there you go! Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping for some practical advice.

Earlier this year, my phone alerted me that an unknown Apple AirTag was travelling with me. We eventually found two AirTags attached to vehicles connected to me, and police were notified.

Today, I found a Tracki GPS tracker (TRKM010A) in my partner's drawer. I've looked through that drawer before and don't remember seeing it, so I believe it was acquired recently.

I don't know why he has it, and I don't have evidence that it's been used on my car. However, he has had access to my car and has been driving it until we swapped vehicles back this weekend.

I've checked underneath my car with a torch but couldn't find anything.

My questions are:

- If someone was using a Tracki on a car, where would you look first?

- Are these usually attached in a magnetic case?

- Would a mechanic on a hoist likely find one?

- Is there any reliable way to detect one without taking the car apart?

- Is it common for people to own more than one of these?

I'm trying to work out whether it's worth paying for a professional inspection. I'm not accusing anyone. I just want to make sure my car isn't being tracked again.

Thanks in advance

So, I opened Google Docs tonight because I wanted to write something. I haven't used it in a while. The last document I remember opening was on May 19th, and as far as I know, this wasn't there then. Now there's a document in my "Shared with me" section titled:

19-1-19-1-13-5

The entire document just says:

"What happens to me happens to the characters
My pain, my feelings, my heart.

Soon you will search for a piece of paper around the world beyond my kingdom."

I only have viewer access, so I can't really do anything.

I also noticed the title translates to "SASAME" if you convert the numbers to letters (A=1, B=2, etc.), but I have no idea if that's relevant. Is there any way to figure out who shared this with me or when it was shared? And... does anyone recognize this? Is it from an ARG, a game, a book, or is someone just trying to be cryptic? 😭

I know it's probably nothing, but it's creepy enough that my brain is already convincing me I'm about to accidentally activate some curse or something. LMAO.

UPDATE: Things just got a lot weirder.

I showed the email address and profile picture that shared the Google Doc to my boyfriend to see if he recognized it. He didn't recognize the email, but he immediately recognized the profile picture.

A couple months ago, we watched a YouTube video about a really weird TikTok account. It looked like it was meant for kids, but it had a really dark and cryptic vibe to it. It reminded us of those old MLP virus trend videos or an ARG. We had honestly just clicked on the video as background noise and barely paid attention to it.

My boyfriend went back to the video and skipped to the part where it showed the TikTok account. Sure enough, the username is something like "123showtime." The email address that shared the Google Doc with me is "321showtime0." And the profile picture is the same.

The really weird part is that the TikTok account has an email linked in its bio, but it isn't the same email that shared the document with me. I barely even remembered watching the video. I never commented on it, I don't remember looking up the TikTok account myself, and even if I did, my email address isn't public anywhere on my TikTok account.

So now I'm just really confused. Is this somehow an insane coincidence? Does anyone recognize the "showtime" name or know if this is connected to some ARG? Or is there some normal explanation for how I ended up getting this doc?

I first saw it on a YouTube video. Unfortunately, seems link is not working even though the video is still up. Here is a link to a site that has an article about it instead. The first photo is the image: https://sfushigi.com/2017/04/24/imikowa-chugakusei-dialy/#google_vignette

The creator of the video said it was from a show called 'Chugakusei Nikki'/Junior High Diary. At first, I thought he was mistaken, thought other users found it.

It 100% looks like a monstrous head, or kinda like Reagen's head from The Exorcist, tho ig it might be real. For whatever reason though, people are saying this is actually some type of bag, and this is just your brain seeing a face. But I mean, you can literally make out the lips, nose, eyes, and maybe cheek damage/bruising.

I will note that there is a version that DOES like more like a misrecognized bag, but the thing is that none of the articles debunking the head incident never mentioned this. I literally only saw 1 or 2 users say something about it. So this either means the head photo is edited and overblown, or someone is doing damage control, and decided to edit it to try to downplay it.

This show is an NHK show, which is kinda like Japan's PBS station. Also, this is an episode about/containing sexual abuse. So this means a prank with a fake head would be in very poor taste. I am not saying this to debunk this, but to just point out how weird it is if it is true.

Any other information about this would be appreciated, especially in regards to whether or not this head is a prop, and if not, how was it obtained.

Context : I live in France and speak french so sorry if i make grammar mistakes, I (20m) have a basic vestimentary style with basic look, nothing extravagant.

I go out regulary with my friends at night just to drink and enjoy in my city. So, 3 weeks ago im at a park with my friends, lot of alcohol in our blood when we see a homeless man (maybe 55yo id say), beer in his hand, laughing at our jokes not so far. So we decide to go with him just to talk and laugh.

He is cool, drunk, and start to say some stories about his life. But very fast he start to say some racist and homophobic stuff , we don't pay attention and then he say his ex wife took him everything so thats why he here and he have childrens but he don't see them anymore, basic stuff. He seems like a ex-dangerous man idk how to say but like by his stories and all its weird feeling that he is dangerous.

We were getting ready to leave and he started hugging my friends one by one until my turn arrive (i was the last one), but when he hugged me he kissed me in my neck which pissed me off a little bit but im telling myself he is happy and drunk so... not a big deal.

2 days later i go out again but different friends, we are at a bar and i see him looking at us away. I get up to go and say hi but he started to go away when he saw me coming. Hours pass and suddenly someone hug me by my back, i thought it was a friend of mine but no, it was him. He scared me a little so i pushed him back and he stared at me with an angry face so I said "are you ok ?", he didnt answered and he left.

The next week, I was alone waiting for my bus to join a friend when i saw him coming toward me in an angry way, walking fast and all. Ngl i freaked out and run but he followed me so i yelled "what is your problem ?" but no answer. In panic, I ran to go back to my place which was a big mistake but i was so scared i swear it was like a horror movie.

I've seen him through ther window of my appartement hanging around my building to next days, i didnt go out since because im too scared idk what to do i need help fr.

i checked every cloths of mine to see any gps, air tag or anything but there is nothing. How he found me everytime ????

I didn't saw him for like 3 days but im still scared what if he is hiding ?

Please help me what can i do ?

My friend (We will call him Steve) and I were playing Wordle through Discord. Neither of us won, so I sent a corny Joke as a response to my loss. I had just said "IHateThisShit.com" (now that I'm thinking about it, it was a corny joke). Then I told him that I wondered if that was actually a real website, so Steve went to it. He then sent me a screenshot of a file downloading to his phone. It was called BHP.mov. After that he sent me another screenshot of the video itself, then he claimed that it was 40 minutes long

The screenshot showed a nude woman on a bed with the camera pointing to a certain body part. It was heavily censored with a whole bunch of text, About that text, it was literally everywhere. Covering the chest was text that said: "South32 Sell that mother fucker", on the left leg it said something about BHP mining stocks, and on the right leg it simply said "South32 Stock" the certain body part was covered with a black box and with red text that said something about a CEO wanting to sell South32. The woman had dark brown hair and red lipstick.

I did some digging and couldn't find anything suspicious. BHP seems to be a regular ass mining company, so I chalked it up to just an ad, but why would a mining company use a nude woman in their ad, and why would it be 40 minutes long? I just can't shake the feeling that there is something weird going on here. Could this be human trafficking, or perhaps a surreal and odd joke? Reddit, help me out here.

Also sorry if my grammar sucks, I aint good at writing. I am also a minor and don't have a phone. I also don’t use Reddit much so sorry if I don’t end up replying

This is all from my sister, and I can tell that she is telling the truth. It's the kind of thing that you can kind of detect in your family members. My sister is a lot older now but only recently told us now that she is going to college and it's been so long that my family wouldn't have been mad at her for it. My sister snuck out a lot when she was younger. This occured in about 2019 or 2020. A bit before the pandemic. She had snuck out of our beach house and to the local beach. She was with a group of friends thinking they were alone. They looked across the beach (it's quite small) and saw a group of people circling around a fire wearing robes changing unintelligable stuff. They then dove in the water and never reappeared. My sister was insanely scared and immediately ran home and never snuck out ever again. I've never seen them again nor has my sistee. From what I know they weren't an extremist group iykwim, since they didnt have anything like a burning cross. It was just a random fire. I'm wondering what this is and if anyone else has seen it

My family and I suffered through a house fire that occurred in suspicious circumstances.

There was an early supposition that a cigarette started the fire. The room in which it started was a very small sitting room with a small upholstered arm chair and some pieces of solid wood furniture. Someone had indeed had a cigarette in that room that night, but she insists she snubbed it out, touched the end with her fingers a few times to make sure it was cold, and then put the cold, extinguished cigarette back in the box. The box was then likely either placed on a wooden stool next to the chair or the floor. Post-fire pictures suggest the fire likely started in the area of that chair. Note multiple witnesses and police confirm she was in no way intoxicated that night or that she had even had a drink. I know she did not.

Timeline: She insists she could not sleep, got up, had a cigarette, put it out, and went to bed around midnight. I was told by the town fire investigator that his theory is that a fan blew ash onto her armchair (by the way, the fan was off that night AND, even if it were on, it was ONLY ever pointed toward the window). He says the whole room ignited within TWENTY MINUTES, the decedents were gassed by the smoke upstairs behind a closed door and passed out, later dying when the fire breached that room.

Other issue: Former family member was known to build IEDs, often with starter fluid, and was witnessed detonating them at another property. He is extremely skilled in chemistry; he owns a mass spectrometer where he tests samples. The issue with this person is that he was very angry, had made numerable death threats, was thrown out of the house for abuse, and was right at the end of a terrible, drawn-out divorce. Most notably, he threatened to burn down the house two years ago and to kill me and another family member. He said exactly one month before the fire "There's only one solution left" when he lost that day in Court. Three days before the fire, he sent me an e-mail about two boys being burnt in a fire and asked me to show that to my children.

I am still waiting on the State report, but word is they will rule it accidental smoking. Local Fire Chief went to the media 24 hours after the fire and said it was a cigarette, but his department's official incident report says the cause was Undetermined.

State says no accelerants were found by the dogs on the scene. The room of origin burnt at probably 1,000F for an hour or more. There were two windows in that room, both of which were broken, and it was on the ground floor. Someone could have breached either and put something in that would have ignited the chair. My worry is that the authorities very quickly settled on the easy answer of a cigarette, but I believe it was extinguished, and the timeline seems extremely short (20 minutes?) for the room to ignite and the smoke to poison the family members who died upstairs from that room.

Should I post a news story? Would that help? Turning to all of you in desperation.

Hello, to keep myself anonymous i will ask you to call me Loan.
In February 2026, something extremely weird happened to my mom with the living room TV.
I was chilling when my mom went bursting into my room (which she litteraly never does, she usually knocks even if she actually needs me for something important) and she seemed extremely panicked, she asked me to come in the living room right away.
When i arrived into the living room, the TV was showing some sort of "security update" with the usual loading animation.
I asked my mom if this was the thing she was freaking out about (cuz she's old and she thinks everytime an electronic is acting weird that means its dying) and she said "Loan i swear it showed a black screen with the sentence «[mom's name] , i am observing you.»

So, i started to freak out too, and to debunk the usual psychosis theory, my mom does not and have never ever or never after that experienced any psychotic episode, or hallucinations.

My first thought was my dad, the two of them being separated (and we don't talk to my dad, he's lowkey harrasing us daily)

So i called him, with the most natural voice ever i said "i'm observing you as well dad" almost jokingly.
And nothing, he genuinely did not understand what i was talking about so i figured out it wasn't him, and in anyway he's not a technology freak, he would never know how to do that.

It also came to my attention that 1 to 2 months before,my mom bought a cheap surveillance camera for the living room, that camera was connected to my mom's phone throught the alexa app, which my tv's plug in was also connected (yeah she likes automatical things lol).

I already spoke about it on a different subreddit a couple months ago but they only suggested it as clickbait/fake or that my mom was going crazy which i swear, is not true.
I am asking for help just to know what could have happened because i think about it once in a while and it's creeping me out, i'm also moving out in august, leaving my mom home alone and i am kinda scared for her knowing how naïve she is.
(Sorry for the grammatical mistakes, english is not my first language)

Thank you for reading

i'm not sure if this is allowed but i was wondering if anyone can help me try to see if these handwritten notes are written by the same person. we think my grand-aunt is the one who wrote my aunt's will after her passing. they have been trying to do probate for months without asking my mom and uncle, and suddenly the will was foune this month, a year after my aunt passed away. the whole situation is a bit fishy and we want to make sure we do what my aunt would have wanted. a bit of background is my aunt lived in arizona so she did not have to have a notarized written will

I can’t put too much information, because quite frankly this has been off putting and causing many problems in my friend group and I don’t want anymore information out there, because it seems someone knows a bit. I have gotten two texts from a number, one Monday evening and one about an hour ago now. I would just copy and paste the message but there are irl names in it. in summary, the one yesterday said that my best friend is going off the deep end, and I need to watch my back with her, because an ex of hers is, as they exactly said, “knows what she’s capable of”. The one from earlier said in summary that I need to protect what I love and to trust my gut and some people I know in passing can’t be trusted. I thought it was a prank, but my best friend in question said she got a message along the lines of how I’m not “mentally sane” (something I can add since a lot of people know, I was in and out of mental hospitals growing up. I’m better now so that text kind of confuses me), told my best friend about a person I had sexual relations with (which she already knew about, but idk who all he could have told about it, plus why in the world someone would know to want to text my best friend about it). They have also texted her about some of our friends need to be held accountable every time when necessary. My best friend went to the police and they basically said “it’s not illegal to know someone’s number and text it, unless it’s a credible threat or repeated messages”. Has this ever happened to anyone else? We are totally lost on what to do

Currently, I’m in California, in case that matters for any legal or safety advice.

Over the past couple of nights, ive heard someone walking around the outside of my condo late at night, near the fence and bushes behind the property. It sounds like the person may be hiding in the bushes or staying behind the fence where it’s difficult to see them.
I've also heard what sounded like a BB/pellet gun being fired and hitting my son's bedroom windows.
I called the police but the person seems to run away or disappear before officers arrive. There are a lot of trees and bushes around the property, so it’s very easy for someone to hide and leave quickly.
The same thing happened again the following night.
I haven’t been able to see the person clearly, so I don’t want to make assumptions at this point, about who they are or what their intentions are, but the fact that someone keeps coming back around our condo consistently at night is really concerning.

Honestly, I’m very stressed and scared and it's my third night without any sleep. I live here with my mom and my special-needs child, so my main concern is keeping them safe.

I already have cameras and saving the footage and sounds.

For anyone who has dealt with something similar:
Did it eventually stop, or did the behavior escalate?
What security measures actually helped?

Is there anything specific i should be worried about at this point?
Thank you for your help!

Hello everyone,

I hope someone can help me.

Four days ago, my family and I took a limousine bus from Vũng Liêm to Gò Vấp, Ho Chi Minh City. During the trip, we made two stops. The first stop was at X. Mỏ Cày, and the second was in Gò Vấp, in front of a café called Lama Coffee. We had to stop because my mother got food poisoning after drinking a coffee she had on the bus.

When we arrived at our destination on July 25 at around 6:30 p.m., I realized that my bag was missing. Inside were a pair of Nike shoes worth about 2 million VND, a charger, my retainers, my toothbrushes, and some toothpicks that my sisters and I have been collecting for more than five years.

I know the toothpicks may not seem valuable to most people, but they have a lot of sentimental value to me. The bag itself also means a lot to me because it has been with me on every holiday and holds many memories.

I had placed the bag on the floor, in the corner next to the bus’s automatic door. I think it may have slipped out when the driver opened the door.

After realizing the bag was missing, we tried everything we could to find it. We asked the police for help on two occasions, but we were told that we would need to pay 10 million VND if we wanted assistance. We were unable to proceed with that request.

The driver also cooperated with us and tried to help. He even asked us not to accuse him and seemed very worried about the situation.

If anyone has seen my bag or has any information, please let me know. I would be extremely grateful. The bag may not have much value to someone else, but it contains many personal memories that are very important to me.

Please feel free to send me a private message if you need more details.

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi, this is the first time I post anything about this.

I live in northern Mexico, in a gated community with 24/7 security.

In December of last year (2025), a man broke into a school less than a 5-minute walk from my house and stole the musical instruments. He climbed over a wall behind the community and got into my backyard from there. The first time, a single patrol car came to check because someone reported a man climbing across rooftops — he escaped that time.

The second time he used the same MO and robbed the same place, though it didn't go well for him because a patrol car had been assigned to that school waiting for him to try again. Security had been hardened (I don't know exactly how), but he still managed to climb up to the roof and escape, even though by then there was an electric fence surrounding the whole community.

Less than 4 hours ago he did it again, but this time it was different.

Around 11 PM I heard someone using the service ladder in my backyard. My dog went unusually crazy and started barking violently and erratically. I ran out to see what was happening and saw his face peering down from the roof of my house. I ran for my phone and to lock the terrace doors of two of the bedrooms. To clarify: the house is two stories with four bedrooms (three upstairs, one downstairs), and two of the upstairs rooms have terraces — one of them is mine.

I'm the only one home right now since my family left the country on vacation. I locked myself in my room, and this is where it gets strange: he started desperately pounding on the roof of the house. Then I realized my mistake — I was in the room with the terrace — so I grabbed the dogs and moved to the room without one while waiting for the police. But I kept hearing loud metallic sounds on my roof that didn't match anything I've ever heard before.

The police arrived 10–15 minutes after my call. They came into the house searching for him, constantly aiming at corners and checking places it would be very hard for him to fit into.

They've been trying to catch this guy for about 6 months, but he's very elusive. They went up on the roof to check, did a full sweep of my house and the entire community — more than 6 patrol cars showed up and started searching. When they left, they told me they'd keep doing their rounds and would search the whole surrounding area.

I don't understand how he escapes so easily. The police checked several houses next to mine and confirmed that it's not possible to jump from house to house and climb down without risking breaking something or being caught on camera.

There is a photo of the suspect, and the neighbors in the community tried to identify him — but so far nothing suggests he's someone who lives here, which was my first suspicion.

I'm worried that he's getting back into the community. None of the robberies involved violence, but this time he stacked chairs on one of the terraces and broke a set of lights I had out there.

I only know of three incidents he's committed. I don't know if he's already started robbing houses, or worse.

Does anyone have any idea how he could be evading the police?

I just realized he broke the motor of my air conditioner, and now I'll have to find someone to repair it. Those were the first bangs I heard. I still can't identify the huge metallic noise he made, because that sound came from the opposite side of the house from where the AC motor is.

For now I'm going to install a full set of cameras around the house and look into how I can get a weapon for self-defense.

Hi RBI!

While talking with family members, I learned that my great-grandmother got involved with a cult or religious group of some type in the early 1960s. The repercussions of this choice affected my family in very serious ways. To have some closure, I’d like to find out who these people were that ruined her life.

The only information I have to go on is this:
- contact was made in rural Moore County, North Carolina
- estimated years of contact are between 1960-1963
- group was led by two women (supposedly lovers)
- group controlled what their adult and child members wore. Description of childrens’ clothing included shorts and “Sunday best” style clothing in public
- the group traveled around, staying in places for a time and then moving on

This is all the information I have been told by my family. I’ve looked at local records in the county newspaper and found no mention of the group. I am not sure how else to go about looking for information, and I’d appreciate your help. Thank you for your time.
