Creepy Ice Cream Van going around at near dark

Do not hesitate to call local law enforcement. They will just stop the van to see what it is. They won't be able to do anything to him, but they can inform the community that the van is not a real ice cream truck, and up patrolling in the area for a bit.

Law enforcement are bored 90% of the day, so, I promise they will not mind, especially if you worried about a possible abduction of children.

You can also get the plate numbers from the van. Dispatch can run the plates right then and there and can tell you if it's a company van or not. Dial 411 and ask for your local police station if you don't know it. You can dial 911 as well, they'll understand.

I'm afraid I can't speak with any authority on the modus operandi of your average child snatcher, but if I WERE in that line of business, I don't think I'd be making such a public exhibition of myself as this guy is.

It looks like he can't win either way: when he comes round he is accused of being a child snatcher / drug peddlar, and when he doesn't he is "deliberately trying to avoid becoming noticed".

As for the drugs thing ... why don't you go up and ask him for today's **wiiiink** special.

Edit to add: you really ought to take up Milkyway12's suggestion above.

I agree.

Just call the buzz and if they don't get there in time...just take one of the number plates off... gets the cops attention either way.
