Paranoid or justified?

Just had quite a strange encounter.

Picture the scene;

It's 6pm and people are wandering home after work. I'm walking too, and chatting on my phone, but out of the corner of my eye I can see someone behind me on a bicycle. I move over a bit (although the path is at least 3 metres wide) and my spider senses are heightened due to the presence of this stranger.

He goes past me then asks why I am so paranoid. I'm on the phone, so I just pretend I fail to hear him and make a non threatening hand gesture. He asks me again and carries on cycling. My spider senses are still tingling and a bit further along the path he meets up with a mate of his who then takes the bike. By this point I've finished my phone call and have spotted the opportunity to take a short cut and avoid any further verbal contact because,

a) they seem a bit more agile than me

and b) I didn't want to make the situation worse

My questions to my fellow fabsters are do you think I was right in not responding to him and if not, what would you have done in this situation?

For the record, I didn't think I was paranoid at the time (although what happened in the minute or two after changed that). Also, I have a Samsung S5, so on reflection, that's a phone which can be valuable on the black market - although theft of anything is bad.

You should have given him the Vs,spat at him,and then battered the shit out of him!

Or probably best to just take the short cut.last thing you want when you are on your way home is a potential fight.

To be honest I find the fact he questioned you a little odd, most people wouldn't do that

Paranoid no. I think you was cautious Simeone was behind you and you didn't want to get run over.

You did right.

I teach "stuff" like this. Avoid at all times where possible.

Thanks guys and gals

I'm pleased at the way I handled things and will keep my eye on the local newspaper website to see if there are any thefts reported.

Sorry to of made you paranoid but your conversation was interesting on the phone . As for giving my mate the bike I think you will find if you looked closely he had a kitchen knife and no bread.
