About a year ago I was climbing a tree in my front yard at around 4:30
a.m. I had walked a lady friend to her car and was killing time until I
got the "I'm home" text, and the weather was nice for tree climbing, so
I just did it. This particular night my neighbors didn't lock their gate
like they normally do, leaving easy access to their tool shed, lawn
mower, etc. I guess the guy forgot, it happens, but it was definitely
noticeable (large gate, right next to the road, expensive old man
tools).

So as I observed the gate from my lofty perch and considered all of the
reasons it would be open, I noticed a car coming down my street very
slowly, eventually coming to a halt right in front of my neighbor's
driveway. I looked into the car and saw two young men pointing and
looking intently around his yard. Sketchy shit during daylight, much
more so at night.

After a minute or so of being too nervous to do anything at all, I
realized I was leaning pretty heavy on some branches, exposing myself
more than when these two had just driven up. That was when it happened.

the guy in the passenger seat noticed me first. He did a panicky sort of
double take when he first saw me, followed by what I generally assume to
be the words "OH SHIT!", and rapidly punching the driver in the arm.
Attempting to look menacing, I did the only thing I could think of which
was hold my arms up in a claw like pose (like a tree-rex). when the
driver saw me, He did the same panicky double take before slamming the
gas and hauling ass outta dodge.

I like to think I was the creepiest/scariest thing those two ever saw.
