I noticed his hand kept hovering around his pocket and it spooked me a bit so I moved sideways and forward so I could see him better. Even my wife noticed this and gave me a look which again spooked me.
I looked long and hard at him again as he moved a little bit closer to me.
I took my wife's hand quickly walked a few meters along the road hailed a taxi and jumped in it.
We talked about it and both thought he looked and acted like he was up to no good.
Of course we could both be wrong but that's what happened and it's made us more alert. It's not going to affect our trips out and in a perverse way we feel a bit more confident that we can quickly spot something not quite normal.
Good choice you've decided to take a cab instead, Terpe. Better safe than sorry.

There are some people who really don't know that staring is rude.
