Stranger taking pics of house at night?
I noticed a man sitting in his old car, taking pictures of my house from across the street. Our surveillance camera does not cover that area, so I couldn't get a clear view of what he was doing. Our house is not for sale, and we recently completed a rebuild. We are the original owners, and there's a builder's sign in the front yard, which potential buyers can use to contact the builder for house ideas. However, the man was positioned on the opposite side of the street, where he could not get a good shot of the sign. Additionally, we are not part of a Homeowners Association (HOA). If he needed photos for a specific reason, why would he choose to take them at night?

On a public street, "the eyes can not trespass". When police see an open container in a car, they can make probable cause to move to the next assumption. You can call the police or sheriff, approach the car if you are comfortable, but legally on a public road and from inside a car, they are within their rights under the law.
I photograph property, do neighborhood watch and have done bounty hunting on vandals. There is a variety of reasons to take a photo, but by the same token, I might approach the car depending on my thinking at the time.

Maybe someone is investigating you. Have you made any worker's comp claims or disability claims, or could there be any reason why someone would be investigating you? Unfortunately, as long as they are not in your yard they are not breaking any laws. See if you can round up a few guys to go out there and ask him what he's doing.
Did you claim anything from Insurance of something of that nature? If not than you have a stalker...try and get their numberplate if it keeps occurring if not than don't worry, if it gives you any relief report to the police so they have a case of something atlease
Call the police! This happened in my neighborhood first pictures were taken then those houses were robbed two weeks later....by drug addicts!
They noticed how nice you house is and think you have MONEY!

that happened to me only it was during the day. when i confronted the girl taking pictures she sped off and i still dont know why she was doing that. i called the police and they said she wasnt doing anything wrong.
That sounds a bit suspicious. If it happens again you should call the police.
