FYI my mother (80's) lives in the mid 4200 block of 177th st. I visited her tuesday 1/19 and left shortly after 1PM. She said a few minutes later she saw a newer white compact vehicle pull up in the lower part of the driveway. She has poor sight and thought it was perhaps me returning. A minute later a male black knocked at the front door and then pounded it loudly. She did not answer and yelled what he wanted. He said he was looking for someone and left. The driver was also a young male black. She said she thought they were in their early 20's and were clean cut. She did not get a good look and cannot identify either one or the car unfortunately. She will call in the future.
