Once, when I was taking a picture of a Bentley this random guy came up to me and asked me what I was doing.

Another time was when I entered a parking garage ( which I didn't realise was private ) and got some pics of the cars in there. Another spotter saw me as I was exiting and tried to go in to get pictures but when he went in the security guards stopped him.

Finally, when I was taking pictures of a Pagani Huayra and Bugatti Veyron at a car wash in London, I didn't realise there were signs which said no pictures, so one of the staff told me not to take pictures.

*cracks knuckles* where do I even begin?

. Found Ralph Lauren taking a piss in the woods when I found his RUF CTR-3 parked in North Salem.
. Got thrown out of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club as they don't allow spotters there anymore
. Got thrown out of Miller Motorcars because there was a private event going on that I wasn't aware of + had to deal with the cops because of that
. Found a Ford Mustang GT California Special Convertible in a Walmart parking lot in Norwalk with a fat blonde woman downing six 12-packs of beer in the front seat. She told me no pictures and moved her car to the other end of the parking lot.
. Took pics of a 1989 Toyota Camry at Walgreen's and this black dude started giving me sh*t telling me to delete the pictures and wouldn't let me leave until I did so + threatened to call the cops on me
. People shouting at me "STOP TAKIN PICTURES YOU f**in' WEIRDO" when I stand on the corner of the road waiting for cars to come (this happened A LOT while I was in Maine)
. Took pictures of a 1980s Mazda RX-7 at a repair shop near Lime Rock Park and got chased down by the biggest f**king dog I have ever seen.
. Found a McLaren 50 12C Spider at the post office in Ridgefield and wound up getting grilled about taking pictures without someone's permission for 15 minutes
. Having to wait until the owners leave the car so you can take your pictures to avoid an awkward conversation.

1) Pure 'Murica material right there lmao!
2) What he doesn't know is that you coulda called the cops on him as forcing someone to delete their pictures is actually illegal.
3) I have to go through that one a lot lol. That or waiting for security to stop circling around.

I forgot about that time a BMW M5 F10 owner tried to confront me by shouting across the street "why are you taking pictures of my car?" and honestly I look back and wonder why myself. It was dirty. Clearly he didn't even know what it was, probably picked it off the lot as the most expensive car. He's known across town for his mattress selling business, Billy Bob's Beds, and it gets remarkably poor ratings it's unreal. Most of them are in regards to his attitude, go figure! But that was back in 2015, when I had yet to encounter a rude owner before. Had that happen now I probably would've laughed it off right in front of him.

I ran like an idiot in Hermosa Beach to catch a 275 GTB/4 Straman in 2012. I ran like an idiot in a Ralphs parking lot in Redondo Beach to catch a Rolls-Royce Phantom. I stood too close behind a MurciƩlago LP640 and almost collapsed.

Today I went over to Downtown Annapolis and a saw a nice Bentley Continental. I went to take a picture of it with my camera, but my lens cap was on and it drove by! Thankfully it drove by me again later afterwards...

One time there was this really nice TT-RS parked in a driveway in my neighborhood. I quickly snapped a picture with my phone but then the owner came out of her house and started asking me a bunch of questions in a very aggressive manner. And her kids were there too, just staring at me. I quickly deleted the pictures and then when I got behind a bush I ran far away

Lmao. I mean while it is kinda rude to take pictures of stuff on people's property, she cannot be that oblivious. What an ass imo.

Was spotting in downtown Stuart for a while this afternoon, and this one guy on a bench literally stared at me wherever I went as long as I was within his vision. Walk down the street, watches me the whole way. Walking back, stares at me and actually moves his head, following me as I walk past. Very strange. Not really embarrassing for me, but it was a little unsettling.

I was taking a picture of a BMW M3 last week when the owner walked up and got something from inside

That happens all the time though. He probably just wanted to make it known he's watching and not to try stealing anything.

A drunk man joked about stealing my camera. I was photographing the Bicolore Gallardo, and somehow or another he ended up with my camera in his hands, and ran down the sidewalk for about 45'. I took chase, he turned around though, laughing. It is a good thing I hadn't my boot knife, or it might have come out (defence of life & property).

I wouldn't kill him over property though. Just destroy use of his arms by slicing a tendon.

Kill? No. Slice the nerve cluster in his elbow, yes.
A bit harder to have surgically repaired than a tendon.
