What Can You Do If You Are Being Tailed?

What can you do if you are being tailed?

Unless you carry large sums of cash, jewels, or contraband, someone following you to do you harm, or take your possessions is not something most of us spend a lot of time thinking about. But it happens everyday. So it pays to keep your radar up and working.

Being followed, or tailed, especially at night, is one of the most challenging personal safety issues anyone can encounter. I do not claim to be an expert in this area, but I've got street smarts, and common sense.

I think I'm being followed.

So what can you do if you think you are being tailed:

  1. Keep your doors locked while your vehicle is parked and while driving.
  2. Try to keep avoid having less that 1/4 tank of gas.
  3. Stay aware of your surroundings. You do not want to be surprised and only figure out you are being followed when you are at your house or apartment. It may be too late then.
  4. If you notice another vehicle mirroring your lane changes and turns, do not drive home or to your place of business. Try to drive to a fire station, law enforcement substation, hospital emergency room, or a business with lots of foot traffic.
  5. If you believe you are in danger, try to call 911 and make a report while you are driving. The more San Antonio's Finestaccurate your report regarding your location, your route, and descriptions of your vehicle and the pursuing vehicle, the better chance law enforcement has for getting to you quickly.
  6. Try to remember the type and color of vehicle, license plate number, description of the driver or passengers if they get close enough.
  7. Don't be afraid to use your horn, hazard lights, windshield wipers, or hand signals to alert other drivers that you have a problem. They may not be able to provide immediate help but, the more attention you can draw to yourself, the less likely most criminals will want to remain in pursuit of you.
  8. Until you can get to a place with people that you are confident can provide help, keep on the move on well-traveled roads.

Stay alert and don't get caught unaware. Not everyone is out to cause you harm. Being tailed or followed is creepy, and can be dangerous. Stay alert and don't lead them to your residence,

Many people work long hours on irregular schedules in some cases. When we are tired, sometimes our guard is dropped. Stay alert and avoid leading cars that may be following you directly to your door.

There are six (6) subdivisions in the Vineyard.

The Enclave is the northernmost subdivision in the Vineyard. It contains ninety-seven (97) home sites. There is one gated entry point, from Huebner Road. The original builders in this community were Japhet Homes, and Perry Homes. The North East Independent School District (NEISD) provides public education to the students in this area.

The Enclave is bordered by Huebner Road on the east, The Province, another Vineyard community to its south, Rogers Ranch on the west, and an unimproved area to its north. The area has several hills which provide great views of the area. Homes located in the western part of the subdivision have the highest elevations.

Vineyard Tower

San Antonio, TX-The Vineyard

One of the most distinctive landmarks in north central San Antoniois the tower at the corner or Loop 1604 and Huebner Road. The tower is on the northeast corner of the intersection. During the late 1990's, the tower was pretty much the only large structure west of Stone Oak on Loop 1604.

The tower marks the unofficial entrance to the Vineyard community. The Vineyard is the umbrella name for an area comprised of six subdivisions. The subdivisions are all under the same general covenants, conditions, and restrictions, use the same management firm to administer the rules, and handle the upkeep of the common areas.

All communities share in the use of and provide funding that support the community pools play areas, and clubhouse.

The subdivisions are Napa Forest, Sienna Woods, The Enclave, Tuscany Hills, The Renaissance, and The Province. Napa Forest and Sienna Woods are east of Huebner Road. The other communities of the Vineyard are west of Huebner Road.
