Really?

I went to go visit a friend tonight, and I did not have my glasses (I'm blind) so I stopped across the street of the housing complex to make sure it was the right place. I stopped for less than a minute. I head into the complex and have to go through a roundabout that tells you the apartment numbers at each entrance. I have to slow down a couple times, until I find the right one, then park. I get out of my car, lock it, and this black car rolls by. The man says "Hey, (insert my last name) right?" I'm confused but say yeah this isn't a police car so I figure it's someone my friend knows. He goes on to ask me if I'm lost, because he saw me parked across the street and... Me: I'm looking for a friends house, can't see too well, don't have my glasses.  HIM: Oh, I was just wondering because there's been some break ins recently and you were driving through... Me: Ok, I'm looking for apartment 152, am I in the wrong lot? HIM: No, that's right over there, have a good night.              

At first I couldn't understand why this left me unsettled. Now I realize that this happened within the space of 3 minutes.  He saw me park across the street and immediately ran my plate. After that showed him I've NEVER been arrested or even had  a parking ticket, he still felt the need to come over and warn me that I'd been seen and was being watched. On top of that, I had actually passed by him to get into that section's parking lot and so he had to turn around to give his warning.  F*ck You. What pisses me off is he thought he was being clever and sly, and I was too confused to call him on it.  Now I'm wasting my life thinking of all the things I should've said.If I'm here to steal I'm not going to admit it to you. If I'm lost I'm not going to go deep into the complex and park my car and get out. Ask any of my friends and they'll tell you I'm a creep. In fact, I freely admit it. In this case I wasn't acting the least bit suspicious, and instead of correctly and logically assuming I was looking for a specific apartment this man decided I was casing the entire neighborhood...by myself...in my inconspicuous Black Punch Buggy. I don't appreciate being stopped like that and I want a do-over to be facetious and snarky.
