Man Believes Thieves Followed Him Home From Bank

- When a Texas homeowner pulled into his driveway, three men jumped out armed with guns and tried to smash in the windows of his car. Fortunately, the driver and his son were able to drive off unharmed. The victim, Mark Gardner, believes the thieves followed him home from an ATM. The terrifying follow-home attacks are becoming a shockingly common occurrence across the United States. Now, cops say now more than ever you have to be vigilant. Inside Edition's Steven Fabian has more.
If you think you're being followed, stay calm and take 4 right turns. Nobody with good intentions follows you in a circle. If they're still behind, do not go home.
When I was about 10 years old, my mom was driving us home and noticed someone behind us that had been following us for a while. When we turned onto our street, they turned as well. She ended up driving right past our house before leaving the neighborhood, with them following us the entire time. She drove straight to the police station after that, and they of course stopped following at that point. Because of that specific situation, I always pay attention to who is behind me and how long they've been there.
I agree with your mom. Smart woman! It happened to me, too, except I had to do 100 to get away from them. I, too, drove to a police station! Be safe always! 🙏
Or perhaps have a shotgun while driving
@@_trust9994jus so you can get arrested and not them? Smart..
@@heartracerrrr Okay Biden Voter
Yes my rule is if I’m being followed at least 1 mile that’s too long for me. Heck most times if I’m being followed for half a mile I’m questioning it. You just never know.
I'm so VERY thankful that father and son were not harmed
It's so easy to be thankful, but that doesn't fix anything, people standing up to these people and doing something about it is the only way to fix it
Same here
He should have given money 😮
But the thieves know where he lives; they may return another day in the middle of the night.
@@wildcatslife686why??? Why should a decent hardworking citizen just give his money to thugs? The oppression of criminality cannot win out
I am sick and tired of lazy people who don't want to work steal from others
You know, not to be that guy, but driving to a bank, waiting for someone to go to the ATM, following them home, storming their car with guns and then sprinting away is not what I would describe as "lazy." Despicable, scummy, sure.. Lazy? Not the word I'd use. Might even be more work than working a regular job.
@@comfysituations3566 any way to get quick money by stealing from other people is lazy to me
@@comfysituations3566Definitely lazy. What do you think they do when they’re not doing their highway robbery gig? Work a 9 to 5. Nope, getting high as a kite on Mary Jane and having babies left and right. Dropping out of high school because it’s “too much work “ and leeching off of innocent people doesn’t exactly make you a “hard worker”
@@izziestevens5835 "Getting high as a kite on mary jane. Having babies left and right." Lots of people who work regular jobs also do this on their time off.
@@comfysituations3566yo what? Stealing things OTHERS worked for isn't lazy? Like... sure they drove a car. Sure, they lifted a gun. Sure, they ran. NONE OF THAT IS WORK LMAOOO. It sounds like you don't understand what a job is either.
As soon as they got out of the car, I would have treated them like speed bumps. He took too long to drive off.
This happened to me and my sister after we rejected some guys that we found very obnoxious and annoying while having a lunch date together. They followed us for about fifteen minutes. You see though, we live in a private neighborhood and before that neighborhood, there’s a sheriff academy right next to a police station. We entered the police guest parking lot and hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the building. We knocked on the door and explained the situation. My friend happened to be working that day and offered to escort us home with her patrol vehicle. The world is getting scarier as we speak. 😢
If they weren't your friend, would they've still escorted you?
@@danko5866 probably because it’s only about three blocks away from them.
Why can't people stop being terrified and actually fight or push back?

Where the guys you knew well like from school?
It shameful and scary how these criminals can easily get away from law enforcement after robbing innocent people in broad day light and that too in front of their homes.
Dude they're black , if they get caught Kamala Haris and her doggies (dems) would personally visit jail and get 'em out .
There need to be more cameras, and they need to be in the right places, and they need to be higher quality than 480-720p.
@@rickyoder9604 Yes, needs to be 4K!
@@rickyoder9604Ah yes, so we can waste a lot of data.
@@Aagggyy Is it a waste when you're using it to put criminals behind bars...? The cameras just have to auto-delete data beyond a certain limit. For example, after 2TB of stored video, the oldest footage starts being deleted...
They need to lock these people up for life with no parole. It's beyond ridiculous now.
As long as Biden is president, that will never happen.
That's why I always make a circle around my house especially when banking, shopping etc before I go into my garage. My husband taught me this back in the 80's.
smart man!
@@brickinvestingsmart gay man
My mom taught me always change up your routes home because you don’t know who’s watching you or could be following you home. She always said to watch your mirrors(while driving in your car) and windows(while at home).

@@mmmmmmmmmmm10 why! Smh
It’s dangerous times when you believe it’s easier to steal than to just work.
I don't get it. If you want to make a living through crime, why not just be a scammer? More money and less risk.

NEVER drive home if you’re being followed on the road!
They didn't notice though. I know to drive straight to the nearest police station.
@@blackcherry6877 Also they’ll know where you live.
Get on the freeway and go over the speed limit. And if the scumbag is following too closely, hit the brakes kind of hard. And then if the thug panics, swerves and then crashes violently, just drive off like nothing happened. Even if the thug hits the guardrail and starts flipping wildly.
Crashes xD lol
@@mathewmclean9128Bad idea. Not everyone is a Fast and Furious driver. This is dangerous for the driver. But more importantly this could cause an accident that dangers other drivers on the freeway.
Better idea would just do the classic 3 or 4 turn rule. If continue to follow you. Go to the nearest pubic place and police. Hospital, police station, or you could just open your window and say yeah I am calling the police. That would most likely scare them off. You could also actually call the police. Get the plate number and description of vehicle.
With all the crimes going on across the country day after day, I am just always saying to myself, “ Be prepared for an ambush. You're in a society filled with criminals. “ or “ Dont drop your guard, if you do it will have an affect on you.
Monkey see monkey do 🙉🙉🙈

Its crystal clear how these thieves have no fear of LAW or its officials ......
Nice friendly white folks just wanted to says hi to him
What law? lol

they only fear a gun or german sheperd

Good on the dad for always backing in to the driveway that plays a key role in escaping. If he had just pulled in he would have been easily blocked or crashed trying to escape.
I’ve been victim to these. Noticed someone was following me closely and took a lot of detours and couldn’t shake them off. I eventually parked in a public space surrounded by people and they got out of their car and screamed at me. I was terrified
It happened to me too but instead of parking I went to the hills and started speed racing and their car had absolutely no chance of keeping up
@@realazeemy guy .. ❤ glad u got away..
always watch your mirror’s people ..
Go to any police department is probably the best. Public sometimes do nothing even if you’re physically abused. I’m glad you’re ok though
Cool story. Didn’t make much effort into making it believable eh?
@@dallas218 How would you know.. a 60 year old white women just did the same thing, in Oakland from car 🚗 jackers .. search it .. 😂 up.. she was terrified and 911 had her on hold..
Always pay attention to your surrounding, pay attention to the car behind you, if it follows you make multiple turns to confirm it, never go home, go to a police station.
There’s a reason why the 2nd amendment is in the constitution.
It was great seeing 3 people exercising their 2nd amendment rights in this video
Yes, and one of them is to revolt against a tyrannical government with a peoples militia. Crime would drop if this would happen.
@@PelosiStockPortfoliothat’s you assuming that they got their guns legally
Why did it take half the comment section to finally see this? This should of been number 2. Never bring them to your home and get the 2A out.
@@brianaguilar8283you missed the irony completely.
This actually happened to me a couple years ago, here in 🇳🇿 New Zealand.
A couple of teens followed me not to my home but at mall car park and tried to steal my car when I got out.
However, at the time, I drove a manual 2004 MINI Cooper convertible and they didn't know how to drive stick and ran off after failing to get the car to work.
Still a scary experience though.
It seems like your guys crime is going up lately.
That was really scary to watch thank goodness the father and son were not harmed.
Everyone please pay more attention on the mirror, someone followed you for awhile should be aware
I knew someone who was withdrawing a large amount of money for something and also to wire family to in another country. She ended up doing it a few days ahead of her planned date and the guy at the bank was really weird about it, surprised she came early…and made her wait in a room while he did stuff she couldn’t see or hear. Said he had to “make calls” before she could get her money. Not even 10 minutes after she left a group of men robbed her blind of the money as she was on her way out, as if they KNEW she had it. I 100% believe this was a scheme with the bank worker and the group of robbers. Don’t trust anyone, take someone with you for things like this, or don’t pull the money if the worker acts weird.
It happened to my mom’s friends. They came in the bank to withdraw thousands of dollars for their trips to Vietnam. Once they got out of the doors, they got robbed right away. And it happened so often at that bank in CẢ.
I hate the fact that people get followed home. This habit needs to die. There is no reason to be following anyone to their house, especially adults and seniors.
Lol. This is the most bizarrely obvious statement ever.
Stay strapped. . .
@@zaraloveskoda It sounds bizarrely obvious, but its true. Why on earth would thieves want to follow anyone to their houses, especially an adult or senior? You can always use a beware of dog sign to deter them. Dogs make great deterrents, especially Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and Dobermans.
@@bananasayswhat The thieves as well. I forgot to put that down. Thank you very much. With the Minnesota mom, if she had a Rottweiler, Doberman, Bullmastiff, or an American Bulldog, the thieves might want to think twice about robbing her home. Also, a beware of dog sign would make an amazing deterrent.
@@Alex-vz2jz Thank you! I know self defense. I've trained at a mixed martial arts dojo for 8 years. Since I know self defense, I'm golden! I'll also keep an eye on my surroundings as well.
Those animals need to be removed from society.
I'm glad the man did what he needed to do to protect himself and especially his son, good game pops
Yoo Dolph pfp!
It’s happened to me after leaving my Wells Fargo bank ATM. Right after I actually went to the car wash and as I was vacuuming I got drove up on and them demanding money as if they knew I had it on me. After putting the puzzle pieces together they post up at a bank and watch people who take money out from the atm and follow you.
It’s very scary but true. Just watch your surroundings.
I can't remember the last time I used an atm. If I really have to get cash I go to a supermarket and do cash out. And always have some cash on me for emergencies so I don't have to actually stop at an atm.
so what happend did they succesfully rob you ? or what did you do
Like grandpa always said, never count your money at the table
This happened to me and my 2 sisters back when we were teens(2009,2010 or 2011 can’t remember). We were coming home from the mall, I believe, and this weird car full of young black guys was traveling in the opposite direction. They weren’t coming from the mall but we were in this intersection turning left to head east and they were turning left to head west. Anyways I remember looking in my rear view mirror like 2mins later and they were behind us. At this point we were already getting ready to turn into our housing community. I was driving my sisters were like “don’t go straight home” and I was like “I know I’m not stupid”. I turned like 1 right and then like 3 lefts until we lost them. While doing all that,in the matter of like 2-3mins, we developed a plan 1st sister will use house key to unlock door, 2nd sister will run to open garage, and I will drive straight in and 2nd sister will close garage. Our garage hadn’t closed completely and we decided to look out our front window and there they were driving past our house. SCARY MOMENT FOR 3 YOUNG TEEN GIRLS.
The more and more I see these horrific attacks, it just makes me wonder what went so wrong in these people's lives that has led them to commiting such violent acts and crimes
no father figure or deadbeat parents
This doesn't happen in homogenous white areas like Utah/Idaho/montana
Jail is their home
Doesn't matter a jot to the potential victims. But solving that set of problems IS a laudable social goal.
Social media flex
when have we had enough, when will we start putting these criminals away for a long time?
These criminals need to be put 6 feet underground. There's absolutely no place for them in society, at all. Jail/prison only wastes taxpayers money.
You'd say a long time, I'd say forever.
We need people to shiny up their spines, spit out the Dumbocrat Kool-aid and start ACTUALLY SEEING what's going on rather than letting the media keep telling us what a good job Brandon is doing.
Not likely because of their skin colors.
Around _ _ _ _ _ _ , never relax.
A common activity in South Africa as well! It really sucks living this way.
ALWAYS be aware, vigilant, and observant of your surroundings
You said it! It's very important to be aware of your surroundings. I know self defense so at least I know how to defend myself.
Ok
If you think you're being followed make 4 right turns because nobody is making those turns by accident then drive to the police department.
This is why you don't "stay in your own world" I've avoided at least 3 instances that could have ended up badly for me.. one time, I was walking home from a 24-hour grocery store at 2 in the morning and noticed a truck pass me and my brother and turn around on the street behind us.. as we walked around the corner, the same truck suddenly pulled into the driveway right in front of us, and than his reverse lights were on.. I stopped my brother and said " let's go back to the store".. as soon as we did, they pulled out the driveway and sped down the road.. clearly he was planning to back over us
Even with all the cameras, crimes still on the rise.
KEEP VOTING DEMOCRATS
Having all the cameras in the world won’t mean anything if the DA refuses to prosecute the charges. That’s why these criminals feel so emboldened to commit these crimes, cause they don’t fear getting caught anymore.
Cameras don't deter crime.
What about having alarms
@@Brianuwu622this is Republicans fault they let people buy gun and thieves. You no nothing 👈
Just sad! Always check your surroundings.Years ago, I was coming from a Club, after 3:00 am. A car of men in black. bumped my bumper from behind. I outdrove them and drove to a Police Station.
I lived to tell about it! So glad that these people survived! 🙏
🤬What’s messed up is, if their juvenile delinquent azzes got caught, they would get slapped on the wrist and let go to do it again(SMH). THESE DOMESTIC PEASANTS NEED TO DO ADULT TIME for their violent crimes!
Can someone explain why it’s always black men tho?

@@Tom-sj3vn Broke Hood mentality, refusing any type of help or work because of invisible opps. They all wanna be rappers instead of wearing a wrapper. The cycle repeats.
This very thing happened to me except I didn’t go home I went to Walmart to get groceries & they attacked me in the parking lot. They drug me and my purse for about 20 feet. But the miraculous thing happened as I completely let go of my purse… my wallet flew out as he yanked really hard and they didn’t notice. Thank you god! I had $2500.00 in my wallet that was needed for a friend. All I can say is it was a horrible incident I still have flash backs of. But it was also a miracle my wallet flew out the way it did. This happened in 2016 and the lesson I learned is …I no longer carry a purse or wallet & I no longer take out large sums of cash. Always Always be aware of your surroundings.
Is there any common factor with all of these bad guys?
They all grew up poor in a bad environment and chose to hangout with bad people and lack the proper parental figures in their life.
Well well well

Exactly, why am I not surprised by who was responsible for this?
I think they wipe poop on their skin to ensure uniformity of skin color
Thanks for not calling it "Jugging".
As a woman, I’ve had men follow me because I rejected their advances. I drove straight to a police station. The man sped off. Situational awareness is Key.

Guy pulls out a gun against 3 guns? Not a smart move bud
I was followed on my scooter when I was in highschool. I pulled into my garage and quickly locked myself inside. The guy pulled into the driveway, got out of his car with a baseball bat and started banging on the door. My mom called the cops and they came and dealt with him. I couldn't sleep for days.
I stopped going to the Bank in 2020. I use my Bank App to deposit checks & do Cash back at the Stores if I need cash. I wish the Homeowner would have flat-lined all those Bums. I'd give up some bullets or a job Application. 😡🤬
Same. Just do online transfers or checks.
Yes, I do that now. I've only been into a bank 3 times in the past 12 years. Not worth the risk. Same thing could happen to anybody where I live in the UK.
He blocked himself in. I wonder what world people live in? Like does he not keep aware of his surroundings? Great job leading them to your home.
At least he parked in bone out position for an easy escape. It’s Texas he should have been armed. however, the deescalation of the situation saved property and lives. Still the media pushes call the city revenue collectors who show up later with yellow tape and chalk.

Always be alert! juggers could be following you, if you suspect so, drive straight to the police hq.

It’s a shockingly common occurrence because a lot of suburban families have no idea how to deal with violence or stressful situations. They typically freeze and aren’t observant to people following them.

Funny how the news report fails to point out the common denominator
I can imagine the victim being in disbelief or denial. What I don’t understand is the long pause with armed guys banging on your window with a gun and yelling threats before you decide to get the hell out of there. Wish he would have done a uey and followed these jerks to, at the very least, called the cops while in transit. However, I do believe they will get caught…and then (I wish for) giving them at least 20 year sentence. Need to send a strong message to would-be thieves.
I was followed and I knew it. With my two little sons in the back. I did have some cash that they might have seen in my wallet when i paid and they waited for me to leave before following me, went into a random parking lot just to make sure, they followed me out of the parking lot and through a few turns so I managed to make a turn as quick as possible in a tight space so they can’t make the turn or get into an accident. Than drove off as fast and made as many turns as possible.
Over here in southern Africa we call them bank follow-ups and they've been common since banks started. Experienced 2 myself and witnessed some. To be safer, if you see the same vehicle following you for 5 minutes or 5km drive to the nearest police station.
Great job dad
