For about 6 months now we have noticed a car parked on our street off and on
in various places and thought nothing of it even though we could not place
it with any neighbor.

One day my wife saw a guy park a car we had not noticed before, get out with
a briefcase, lock it up, get in the other car and drive off.

Since that day we have noticed one or the other of those two cars in the
neighborhood, never both at the same time. They are normally parked 2 days,
maybe three. Never more since we have been paying attention. Our city
ordinance limits street parking to 72 hours.

I have asked a couple of neighbors if they know anything about this. Only
one has noticed the two cars but not the guy that drives them.

I walk my dog in the area quite a bit and have been keeping an eye out for
either car and have never seen one in the surrounding neighborhoods.

My wife suggested that he lives in the apartment complex three blocks away
and only has one assigned parking spot and that he thinks this is a safe
neighborhood to park his extra car in. Could be I suppose.

What the heck is this guy doing?

This is a classical pigeon drop. One guy picks up the car, and
puts in the contraband goods. He parks it. The next guy picks
up the car later on, does a delivery (or takes it to the next
drop site), then brings it back a while later. It all looks
innocent to the casual observer. They are likely distributing
crack or meth from an up stream supplier down to the regional
distributors. Call your local police dept and let them know.
That might put them on the trail of some of the big distributors.

It could also be a sting operation in progress.
