I had a scary ice cream truck incident when I was younger, so this gave me chills to hear.

I was about 12 years old, spending time at my best friend’s house. Her sister was with us at home, she was 16, and her parents were gone for the night. We usually swam in her pool when I would come over, and since they lived on a corner lot, the pool had a side facing the other road. There were a few privacy hedges blocking, but I felt so exposed when we’d be in the pool. We lived close to each other and we both had ice cream trucks every now and then. We hadn’t seen them in a while though because it was probably fall or winter at this point. We live in Florida so we are in the pool year round pretty much. With that being said, it was 8pm and it was getting dark fast. Imagine my confusion when I hear the sound of “do your ears hang low” coming down that street the pool faced. We were totally paranoid little girls and immediately went “HIDE”, semi kidding around. We ducked our heads underwater but then flew up after a couple seconds. The truck did not pass. Rather, it was parked in the road right beyond the hedges. I couldn’t get a good view of the truck, but we could tell it definitely wasn’t stopped for any kids. There were just pepper trees in the lot across the street, no houses. The music was still on, it was super dark outside. I know we had been making noises and being loud before that, so someone would definitely be able to tell we were kids in the pool. I recall being able to swim up to the edge of the pool and peer to the left of the hedges as much as I could, only to see just a plain white van, the creepy kidnapper kind. No signs or menus. Just a creepy dude (from what I could tell at least) driving it. He wasn’t serving anyone. And was right outside the pool cage. A few seconds go by and he hasn’t moved. We RAN out of that pool and locked the sliding glass doors. Ran into her sisters room and begged her to go look. after convincing her, she was kind of a huge brat as are most 16 year olds, the truck was gone and we didn’t even hear the music anymore. Not even distantly. I really never wanted to swim at night again or go to an ice cream truck again.

On a more uplifting note, I’m 26 now and went on the boat with my parents and an ice cream boat came to the island we were chilling on. I got a margarita popsicle!! Much less creepy lmao.

"I'm being followed. Let me be a genius and lead them directly to my house." Too many folks lack common sense in these situations...

Mikey would be on my poop list for the rest of my life for doing that to me if I was that kid. Also a message to all parents, tell your kids to NEVER get into a vehicle with a stranger!

Geez with friends like Mikey who needs enemies

[YOUR-LOCAL]

I never allowed my kids and grandkids to go up to an ice cream truck without an adult family member. Many of those truck drivers look really sketchy.

I never understand these scumbag "friends" that abandon you in crap situations.

We had an ice cream truck come to our neighborhood, but not creepy ones like these.

Story 1 from the perspective of the ice cream truck driver: damn. Wonder where i am. Let me stop on the side to check my GPS. Oh looks like i have to pull a u- turn. Hope these folks dont mind if i use their driveway.

Guy in the last story is a genius. Instead of calling the cops immediately to make sure nobody else falls victim to the trap, he goes to sleep and calls 10 hours later. Big brain move.
