Call the po po and say there is a strange van that keeps watching you. Walk over while on the phone and ask if you can help them with anything.
Stare back with binoculars.  Post a pic. Make contact with truckers on 19 and shoot the shizz.  Give them something to listen to under 4 watts.  Bore them to death.

 :D Maybe one of 'em looks like someone famous...if so ask for an autograph. Go around your neighborhood & collect dog poop not picked-up (major problem here)  then... well just use your imagination. Wave a banana at them... :o

the thing on its roof looks like a cap of a mushroom but its flatter and made of plastic... my geuss is its some kind of antenna..

Sounds like a GPS antenna.

Last time I saw an FCC vehicle I think it was a ford SUV with gov motor pool plates.

From reading this thread, my guess is that there may be some sort of illegal activity going on in your apartment complex, and the police were perhaps trying to figure if your antenna was a part of it or not.

You hear any strange transmissions in your neighborhood? Maybe an unlicensed FM station or something? Any other curious activity going on?
