Was I followed home? or am I paranoid...

So I picked up some cash and went to my local hardware store for some CFLs, etc and then dropped by my local hydro store for all the other items I couldn't find that I still needed. Then I had heard of ppl getting tailed so I checked my mirrors. I wanted to see if someone was tailing me. The first few turns went fine.

No early sign of anything...I hop on the express way and I speed away. Then I'm looking behind and I see a white unmarked van about 10 car lengths behind me. I slow down to see if this van just passes me by and I switch lanes over. The van pulls up directly behind me and I see two people in the front seat with black hats and sunglasses on. It was near 7' oclock so sunglasses were reasonable but def not needed. The driver points to the passenger requesting something (I imagine them writing my plate number) then proceeds to switch lanes behind me again about 30 seconds later after attempting to pulling up next to me (again could be me imaging things here).

Mind you this vehicle was going 70+ to catch up to me and then slowed down to about 60-55 and stayed behind me for a bit of time when it could've pushed away and done otherwise.

Next I approach a toll and the vehicle pulls away to enter another pay station at the toll. I take a bit longer to pay and be done and I never saw the van again. My vehicle is marked with out-of-state plates, and I rent a place in this state. I'm confident if that vehicle did follow me that it didn't see my home.

Can I be tracked with my plates to my leased residence, even though they're registered in another state?

Was I followed? am I paranoid?

Heavy stuff to be flipping over. Noob here nothing in my home yet besides tools and hardware. Was planning on growing 1-2 plants soon.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you had out of state plates they probably wouldn't have tried to tail you.

next time you think you are being followed you have to drive in circles but not obviously.

not 4 right hand turns, or 4 left hand turns. too obvious.

drive down a road A, take a right (1) hand turn, take a left (2)to parallel the original, take another left (3), and take the last left (4) to back track down A, and finally turn a final left on the road you originally turned right on.

and if you think a car is behind you, don't drive home. it doesn't have to be a cop. could be somebody spotting your schedule to steal your shit....

Make 3 right or left turns next time. Easy way to see if you are being followed. Another way they may attempt it is by following from in front of you but that will only work with someone they know will signal before turning.
 
dude mail order your supplies in non marked boxes... if people see you buying all different grow equipment in town they might suspect! just not a truckload at a time! dont tell no one not even your life long friend what your doing or growing. not even the pope can be trusted. lay low for a while then hit the ground running...not literaly.

well, i hear they use 3 car´s for tailing if they want to be successful :)

on the other hand, this Does sound like paranoia.

why would they allow you to see them like that? and then drive away?

You dont even have anything going yet? I wouldn't worry. So you bought stuff at a hydro store and they got your plate #? That by itself is worthless. Are they going to stake out all the customers? Even going after all the small growers with a few plants in a closet would be overwhelming.

I think they collect info like this from different sources and then put it together. If your name keeps coming up and it looks like it's big time they might take an interest. I would guess the guys in that van just had a quota to fill. You were the last one they needed then they could go to lunch or somesuch.
