cops & jogging postscript

Two days have passed since jogging incident.
The way I see it, someone called me in, the cops responded, found me to fit the description and here's the important part, *decided I wasn't crazed* and having done their job returned to the station. They got a call, checked it out, went home. I almost feel bad for them.
The next day I checked with people at work to get some reactions. There were no news reports of any trouble such as break-ins at the youth hostel by the way. :
1. Mentioned it to a really good class. Nice people. My students often ask me out for dinner parties and what not but this is about the only class that I'll make room for in my busy social schedule. I told them the story and they all went. "Hmm... oh the youth hostel in that part of town! I hear it's really nice. They serve many different kinds of sake there." and proceeded to talk for 5 minutes about how nice the youth hostel is. Well, they probably were embarrassed by the cop topic and didn't want the conversation to go that way. Fair enough, they're not paying money to feel bad. There's church for that.
2. Mentioned it to some fellow teachers. A British woman said "Wow. Yeah, we don't know what really happened but it certainly does look fishy."
3. A teacher who is Japanese tut-tutted and said "Don't be silly. They are just looking for high school boys on motorcycles."
I said "Do I look like a high school boy?" And do high school boys on motorcycles tend to run around in shiny jogging shoes, uh, without motorcycles? Not to mention there were no kids on motorcycles that night and when there are I have never seen a cop in my neighborhood. I've lived in the same house for 8 years. There was also nothing in the papers about a high school boy motorcycle gang jamboree at the youth hostel. Thanks for your thoughtful input though.
4. Another group of students took it seriously. They believed that someone probably did call the police after seeing me jogging. After careful consideration they said "Well, you are big and tall foreigner so they think you are a scary person." Which I think is an honest observation but basically only serves to emphasize my point.
5, mentioned it to a Japanese friend. She sympathized and agreed it was likely someone called the cops but pointed out that some people are just plain nuts. For example, she works in a bank and one of her customers always requests the money she withdraws be put in a special envelope because people are following her.
No. 5 seems like the most plausible explanation to me, basically because it closely matches my insightful-yet-open-to- suggestions idea of what happened. I have a merit badge in plausibility. I even like the sound of the root word, especially if I say it with a slight new jersey accent. "Plaus..." Go on, say it a couple of times. Plaus, plaus, plaus. Or, for those of you from Long island "Plawz"
Not to obsess here, but something is worth pointing out. Sure, there are nutcases everywhere. In peaceful societies they seem to be the ones getting the most handholding from the police. But I ask you, if I had called the local Kochi police and said "Hey guys, you gotta help me! I saw a strange Japanese guy jog in front of my house!" would they respond by immediately sending over 2 squad cars?
