    I have to say when I read that a man had taken a photo of her at the car and then as she walked away, I thought how creepy is that. A woman alone being photographed by some random stranger late at night. 

    I'd have felt very nervous and vulnerable under those circumstances :/

    ETA just seen the op's latest post that her daughter wasn't alone! But what if she had been?

    I interpreted photos as being stills from CCTV.  Someone running around with a camera seems less likely.

    Yes, 'leaving the site' allegations (a favourite scam of ex-clampers UKPC and UKCPS) are always done not by CCTV but by some goon hiding in a car then leaping out with their iphone.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    I agree with Umkomaas and report to the police.

    In this day and age ladies are at risk.  The man might be employed by the PPC but he is still a man wondering around at night

    It may do, but not for an accusation of leaving the site.  99% certainly a hapless idiot on foot who can't get a real job.

    Possibly, but I'd bet on it was more likely a man with a phone :/
