Tell me about the Dudley Boyz, and the Scheel's break in.

The long and short of it is, between 2-6 black males who do not live in any of the immediate houses have been hanging out outside my house, most evenings for the past 2 weeks. Near 27th and Holdrege.
Didn't bother me a whole lot until yesterday a note was in my front yard. "We watching you" is all it said.
I decided to report it to LPD and the officer that took my report was very helpful and insightful. He told me about the Dudley Boyz gang, who had 4 of it's members convicted for the Scheel's break in a couple years back, and have a general history of drug and firearms related crimes.
I do what I can to hide the types of firearms, where they are stored(in a 550lb fire rated safe bolted to my basement floor with motion sensors and dial-out security system), etc. But when I go to the range, I usually have at least 3-4 cases I take with me, and anyone in the neighborhood could have seen this a number of times.
My other concern, given recent events that were given racial overtones by the media , is that they may be trying to provoke me. Now, I am going to great lengths to avoid a confrontation, but I have night classes, and 6 vs 1 is clearly disparity of force, as I will NOT be getting curb stomped.
Last night I elected to call the cops to come scare them off, and it was quite effective. You might say, "why didn't you just try asking them to move on?" Well, I highly doubt that move would be effective, as they would probably just tell me to "get buggered." I would then call the cops, and they would know with relative certainty that I was the one who called. The method I chose leaves that as an uncertainty. My hopes are that after a couple times of LPD running them off, these gentlemen will find somewhere else to hang out.
I've taken several pictures of them, and been doing some research, but I was out of country when the Scheels robbery took place. Any insight anyone can provide on current of past events would be helpful. I truly do hope that this is all coincidence and I am just being paranoid.
And for the record, if it were 2-6 white guys, or even Japanese businessmen in suites, I would be just as concerned. Maybe more so.

first I'll say I think you are handling this correctly. After a couple of calls the cops generally take to patrolling the area more which encourages folks to move where they hang out, I've been through the same problem here in Omaha.
As far as the Scheels robbery a couple of years ago; there was a break-in at Scheels, I believe they drove a stolen vehicle through the doors, and around 50 firearms were stolen. A few were recovered with arrests in Lincoln within a few days of the robbery but others have been turning up in Arizona, New Mexico etc. They left town with persons who delivered drugs and went back to where the drugs were shipped from...
This is why I keep waiting for a Fast and Furious firearm to show up here in Nebraska. We are on a known drug route for these folks.

How old are these guys?
Do not get caught taking pictures of them or video them with them seeing you, do not stare at them, ignore them as much as you can.
Is there a way you can load up guns without anyone seeing you, such as pulling into a garage that is closed?
Ignore them and for the most part they will go away.
27th and holdredge not too bad of area, I wouldn't worry about it but if they know they can bug you they will. I am guessing the note is probably because they picked up on your nervousness or noticing them.
At this point there is nt reason for any violence. They are just punks with low self esteem and bugging you is something fun to do. Dont show you are bothered and it wont be any fun for them.
if they yell at you, harrass you etc calling the cops 2 times will allow you a protection order. then they start going to jail. Do not confront them unless they putting or your family in danger.

20ish. Some younger some older.
Recon was a large part of my job, including taking pics of people without them knowing.
Short answer, no, or I would have always done it. The setup of the driveway and doors to the house is less than ideal, for pretty much everything.
Should have been more specific. According to the LPD officer, the house where the firearms were seized was across the street from me. I live on Dudley, but not near these individual's current houses.
I am avoiding confrontation, as stated already. So far, other than the note, they have not said a word to me, and I have no way of knowing for sure if they had anything to do with it. Could be a neighbor girl with an akward crush. I don't know what nervousness there could have been, I have only ever seen one or two of these guys before they started collecting on my corner. I have only interacted with the "collection" once, when I came home from night classes at 10:30. As soon as I got out of my vehicle they scattered. I live by myself and unfortunately have a very regular schedule.
Thanks for the tips on the protection order. If it does escalate into such a thing, that would definetly be a good option.

When I was in farmhouse fraternity around 33rd and holdredge there was a ton of break ins and shady people. I have jogged by the area in which Wallace lives and it looks equally as bad. Looks like somebody needs a house sitter
