I read the story.

Maybe my threshold is different, but the only times I have ever called police was when I was pretty damn sure a crime was being committed.

Unusual people walking around does not strike me as a crime.

I've seen all sorts of nutty things going on outside, but there's no way I'm calling the cops because someone is walking around in a Halloween costume.

I would never call the police merely because I "wasn't sure what someone was up to." If it doesn't involve me or an apparent crime, it's none of my or the police business what other people happen to be up to.
