Hmmm, that experience sounds like one we had while camping w/ a half dozen
other split buses in the west desert of Utah at some hot springs.  In the
middle of the nite, we awoke to pickups driving in circles around our buses,
shooting guns into the air, & yelling obscenities at us! We all just ignored
them, & finally they all drove off after they ran out of ammo or got bored!
