so i have a peeping tom. im moving in a month to my bfs house but until then, here i am in a house where the peeping tom has come by at least 5 times since february. the last time was less than two weeks ago and i called the cops then (after yelling at him to fuck off) i have a motion detector light over my window but it doesnt seem to make him not want to stand there and be creepy. ive never seen him, bu tthe first three times i noticed him it was because he was talking outside of my window i have called the cops twice, hid 3 times. i just notified my landlord, the local grocery (put up a little sign and talked to two employees for a bit), created an email addy for people to direct questions to on that poster. i called a family friend (ex military) to swing by teh house now and then if hes willing to (just got his cell ubt hopefully he will). going to the police station tomorrow to file a report (no good way to get down there and back today). i am so fucking tired of this bullshit. i am tired of being scared in my own home. im scared of having my only recourse to be running and hiding. i cant go after him because i dont know howh to defend myself physically. i dont know who he is so i cant hunt him down (never seen his face, im too scared to find out who it is.. dumb fear yeah but im scared that if he knows i know what he looks like, he'll escalate. hell he already is coming by far more frequently than ive ever noticed before). im moving in a month but fuck fuck fuck i am so tired of this i cant booby trap my hous because its against the canadian criminal code (had contemplated putting up an electric fence outside of my window). im jumpy after 11pm for every little sound or light that may be him. im emotionally and physically exhuasted (barely slept last night) i miss feeling free in this neighbourhood. ive always loved this area and now this particular pocket of it doesnt feel safe for me. it doesnt feel like home. i miss having a safe place
Next time you see him, take a picture, hang that up everywhere, and right next to it, write PEEPING TOM!!!11shiftone. It is good that it is ending in a month though. Also, I would start chasing his ass one time, w/ a bat, hopefully he will lead you back to his house? Maybe not...
im 5'1" overweight and a chick... i doubt i could beat his ass in even if i owned a bat (i do have two swords however, hrmm) ive contemplated the picture thing but again, im worried about making him escalate and try to get into my house or after me or something for real, yknow? freaks me out btw thanks you two for actually reading my rant/venting heh
Yeh, my aunt actually had a peeping tom across the street in her teens. He got sent to jail for theft and shit, so he isn't doing society and favors, but sitting and rotting.
aaand i nearly called the cops on my bf last night >.> well, i did call 911 but i realized it was him before the cops actually came by and asked the nice lady on teh other end to cancel the request for cops please. well, he finished work early because he felt like crap, so i heard crunching outside my window (whne he KNOWS i have issues with a regular peeping tom) and so i grabbed teh phone and locked myself in teh bathroom to call 911. then i hear someone ringing the doorbell and ive been all paranoid about my tom escalating and... yeah. after about the 5th ring he yelled and i recognized his voice and went out to yell who was it where i could hear better (hearing inside the house from a locked door.... yeah) :embarrassed: poor bf. i apologized like a million times
Ive delt with a peeping tom in my old neighborhood, and before the neighbors told us about it, I would sit in the back yard (privacy fence-well probably not much privacy..) and i would be in my panties. I wonder how many times that dude saw me! Strange thing is, that this was one of those cookie cutter suburbs. and almost every police officer in that town lived there too! crazy people, they dont give a shit do they!
Mace.....with the high powered spray......just a spritz out the window should cure the problem....that or go to the pound and adopt the largest, most ill-tempered dog you can find!
