I am scared. I have a lovely daughter who lives in the next town, works in the courthouse - her dept is out of the line of public eyes.

Recently she rented and moved into a lovely house, about 3 months ago. She spent part of the past weekend here in my town babysitting her gchildren. She went home Sunday to find that someone had been there, left some of her very own plucked flowers stuck in her front screen door, her big drive-in gate to back yard ajar, her utility shed door ajar, and a small slit in her screened in back porch. No main house entry. She reported to police next morning thinking it was neighborhood children. The culprit returned that night, leaving the drive-in gate ajar and her walk-in gate ajar. She reported to police who told her to get a silent alarm and no trespassing signs for the yard. They dusted for prints - nothing. I also advised she leave on her outside lights, front and back. This morning she woke to find a fire had been set in her front yard between the house and her car, with flames reaching at least 10 ft in the air because the tree limbs above the fire were burnt (this the police said). Nobody saw anything and the police surveillance didn't see it. She is frantic and I told her she must not stay there anymore; she must come home to my house til we decide what to do - and never enter that house again because now her life is in danger. I have contacted my local sheriff's dept asking for surveillance at night for my home. They are giving it for two weeks. I live on a private road owned by the railway so nobody should be on this road unless they have business here. I have Miss SS to bark, but she's no threat to anybody - just loud when there are strangers. My daughter will get a cell phone to carry with her at all times. If it is a stalker, and it must be, then he can find her here just by following her or if it's someone who knows her, they can find my house easily enough.

My daughter is very beautiful and has a sexy body. She attracts attention wherever she goes. We have gone over everybody she knows and nobody sticks out.

She must've made the culprit angry by involving the police so he set the fire to pass on a message to her? When she is gone from that house, will he return and burn down the entire house?

Have I covered all the bases for protection for her and for me? I consulted my dear Joe's son, who is captain of detectives in another town and he is advising us, too.

And I had a pretty good night's sleep last night - at least 5 hrs. Not tonight, I guess. Neither one of us!

Thanks for listening. I am trying to settle down but it's been 5 hrs and I haven't gotten settled yet. She hasn't either.
 
Wow, Ann, that is shocking! It sounds to me like you are doing all the right things. We will keep you and your daughter in mind and in prayer that you are safe and that the nut is caught.
 
Hi Ann-

I'm so sorry to hear this horrific set of circumstances. Have you considered getting your house alarmed? And also getting deadbolts on all the doors, and all the windows secured and motion detectors? Maybe you need a weapon.

I am hoping the police will be able to find this person. I hope they consider it a priority.

You and your daughter will be in my thoughts and prayers.

God be with you.
 
Wow dear How scarey.I would have sleepless nights too.Do think you are doing all the right things.Hopefully the police will soon get the colprit as he keeps going back.Hope all will be over soon for you and your daughter.My best Shana
 
My word Ann! Please take care. Ask her to borrow or rent another car before driving to your house until this passes. Don't want to instill more fear...but she may be followed!

Has or is your daughter married? Old relationship?

Gosh, I am so sorry. Happy you have the protection! Be safe and keep us posted.
 
Ann,
Please keep us posted. Do you have motion sensitive lights outside? That's just another thought.

Ann,
That is absolutely chilling; I agree with Gina -- have her rent or borrow a car so she's not followed. You and she are both in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted.

Ann

My thoughts and prayers for you and your daughters safety are with you. Until then please watch out and do everything to keep yourselves safe.
 
Hi Ann,

That's a scary picture you painted for us. Hope it works out.

How long has she rented the house? Could it be possible that this may be caused by someone who wants to chase her out so they can rent it?

She could also purchase an outside motion detector that would let her know the minute someone enters the property. These are not too expensive. It would allow her time to call 911.

My 2 dogs are my first line of defense. They bark at anything out of the ordinary around the home. Their barking gives me time to get out the big guns and turn on the flood lights.

Maybe she should borrow a big dog that bites!

Hope you both get some sleep, and this situation resolves itself quickly.

Dear Ann,

How frightening for you both! I was stalked years ago when in my late 20's, but letters, phone calls, visit to my place of work and to my home was the extent of it before I got him arrested and they forced counseling and probation on him.

I always make sure, to this day, that I have my cell phone and pepper spray readily available (one for each hand). his sort of thing makes you know to be aware of your surroundings at all times and keeps you paranoid years later. My stalker was unknown to me...had met me (introduced only) at a public gathering of friends. He pursued all the info to locate my last name, phone #, address, and place of work. It was a nightmare!!!

I understand your fear but it sounds like what you've done along with suggestions from others should keep you and your daughter safe.

Sending comforting hugs, prayers, and hopes for quick end to all this!

Anne - So sorry you are having problems. Wish I could be of some technical help, but don't think I can. Rely on your local law enforcement officials as much as you can, and we'll all hope for the best. This too will pass. Chris
 
You need a mean dog and a big gun!

You need a mean dog and a big gun!

Wow, Ann!! How scary!

I?d make sure lights were on outside, lock all doors and windows, make sure all drapes are pulled tight and leave a light on in one room.

You?re both welcome at my house!
 
Gina, no, she isn't married anymore - it's been about 13 yrs.
She has no recent boyfriends. Her activities are very limited - she goes to work, stops at the 7-11, an occasional Saturday trip to WalMart, and coming to town here. She is extremely careful and aware of all her surroundings all the times. She does not talk much to strangers.

Her car isn't here. She heard a sound in the engine and thought maybe the culprit did something to her car so she went by the garage before she left her town. She had to leave it there for a new fuel pump. What else could happen.

We were just now sittin on the porch and I saw a car drive down our road. I believe it was a deputy's car, so we are being watched over.

I have a noisy chihuahua and a hound dog who barks loud at strangers, but is a pussy cat. Also outside lights. And I am up and down through the night.

Rob, she moved in about March 1st. I don't think it's someone who wants the house. Her real estate agent said she probably won't have any trouble getting out of her lease. Owners would probably want her out anyhow because of the fire danger!

Police said there are some hoodlums down at the beginning of her street. Thing is, nobody else in the neighborhood has been bothered and all of this has been this week.

Anyhow, she's home and will stay for awhile til she decides where she wants to live - and to get her peace back. But she will live in our town. Her family is here and she needs to be with family.

Thanks for your support, encouragement and advice. It means a lot to us.
 
Ann-

It wouldn't hurt if you both had a cell phone. You can buy a pay as you go Tracfone fairly reasonably. You just buy cards for the talking minutes. You can get them in Walmart and a lot of other stores like that, and add minutes as you need to. They have a mode which will automatically dial 911 with the touch of one button. Always good to have it in your purse and in the car with you anyway. If you don't talk a lot on the phone but need security for yourself, that's the way to go because it would be cheaper than a big plan type phone.
 
Just put a picture of my avatar in your front yard-Problem solved!

You girls will be alright. Watch the animals for changes. If they act up, call the cops and have the zone unit do a drive by and check things out.
 
Hi Ann,

I wanted to post to you yesterday but my computer started having all kinds of problems. Nevertheless I found you and your daughter on my heart all day. I hope they get this guy and that he/she is soon out of your lives. Some people are just so evil!
I am keeping you in my prayers.
 
Hi Ann

This must be so scary for you and your daughter.

Try not worry, I am sure your Law Enforcement Dept will do there best to protect you both

Thinking of you both

Love

Jan
