Both last week and this week (just now), I have noticed a very large white panel truck with no advertising roaming the streets. The first time was where Beach Drive dead ends into Lincoln Park. The truck was proceeding down Beach Drive and pulled into a spot that was close to a vacant high end house for sale. The spot was very suspicious, so I backed down the road to ask the driver if he was lost. Before I got there, he turned the truck around (with difficulty) and started toward me on this one way road. I pulled into a driveway and he went back out onto Beach Drive SW. The circumstances just seemed odd to me. Everyone on that dead end road knows everyone. So, I followed him, trying to get my cellphone out to take a picture of the license plate. The truck sped up to the point it was speeding along 48th Ave SW, then instead of going around the turn as 48th turns into Erskine, it went straight on 48th, still speeding. I followed it for 2 blocks, until it turned left so fast that it seemed like two wheels would leave the road. Pretty fast. I decided not to follow but to go up the road and turn on the next street. At this point, I lost him. I was not successful getting the picture and all I can remember of the plate was B588*****something.
This morning, I saw this same truck with what appeared to be the same driver (overweight black guy) driving slowly down the alley between California Ave and 44th. The truck apparently went around the block and came by a second time.
I only saw one occupant in the truck, but cannot swear there wasn't another one.
Watch out for this truck - It's a very large panel truck, about half the size of a moving truck, far bigger than a van.
