I gotta admit you were in a tough spot. I had an incident this past spring. A pair of guys in a white pickup on the gravel road by my place. They would back the truck down the road, then park for a bit. Then they'd back the truck somewhere else on the road and park. Wouldn't go forward, only backwards. I saw one get out and drink a beer. I assumed they weren't making out with each other. But I didn't know if they were running a meth lab (a major problem in Iowa) or waiting for someone to make a drug deal. Several homes could clearly see the road. So I called the police. A sheriff showed up within 5 minutes. I don't know what finally happened, but the sherriff was there for a good 30 minutes or more.

A few years ago, I would have done something hot-headed. With a wife and a baby on the way, I am finding my views and actions changing. I still get fired up, but I try to think things through first.
My problem with society in general, is that we let too many things slide. So some people never learn about the rules because they never had consequences.
A local guy I know has a son that has always been allowed to slide, but not by him. Kid has a major chip on his shoulder. He wouldn't lock his car which was owned by his parents. So his best friend (a mexican with no license, good parents, worthless kid) stole his car to get to a party. Along the way, he managed to hit 2 parked cars, one of which was a custom job. So his dad took away the car. The kid went and bought his own. When he got in trouble with another town's police for not registering the car, he stole the battery and plates from the care his dad took away. He finally got thrown out the house by his dad. So he found a place with another family. Only stipulation was he had to go to school (senior at the high school). He couldn't even do that. So they threw him out. He also got a girl to buy him beer and pass it through a local fast food drive through window to him. So now she's facing charges of supplying alcohol and will likely lose her job. But what does he care? He had his fun ruined when the cops took the beer away. He's not facing any charges cause the local police have always let him slide. So he has never learned anything. Another meathead that society has always let slide so he keeps on learning nothing.

It's never too late to make a report to the police. They may find your description of the people useful and may put a stop to the rash of breakins.
Tell them you didn't think much of it and your situation, but then tell them you heard about all the breakins and they may find the info useful.
