Angry Off Topic VENT: Creep lives in my apt. building!!!

So stupid me, I just signed a new lease to stay here for another year. I like it here for the most part & it's very nice for what I can afford & for a pet accepting property.

However....about 2 weeks ago now my dd (14) & her friend had an encounter with a man that lives here & another guy.
We were all leaving & laundry needed to be switched down the hall. I was going to take Princess to change it while the girls finished getting ready but heard this loud yipping bark down the hall. Couldn't tell exactly where it was from so I poked into the apt. & told the girls to switch the clothes, that I was taking Princess to the car (have encountered vicious dog in past here). We wait in the car & the girls finally come out, both clearly a little upset. dd says 'Omg, two guys just blocked us in the laundry room & tried to hand us their number. They said they live in our hall & have a shock collar on their dog & want to know if it barks. They said the 'dog just barked & it sounded like it hurt, haha'. Girls said no, they are leaving. After further pressing the guys gave in and cleared the doorway to let them leave. dd did not take the number. dd said as they walked to the laundry room to begin with one guy was smiling a 'creepy smile' with his hands on hips or arms crossed (I don't remember). This tells me they were planning on saying something to them. There are 5 occupied apts. in my/our hall, why wouldn't he ask any one of us adults about his dog? I was furious. I still am.

When we got home I called the complex who recommended a police report so I filed one. The cop never got back to me, who knows if they even looked into it. Well a few days later Princess was going ballistic barking on the balcony (we're on 3rd floor). I looked out & dd said it was the guy w/dog. They started to enter our building so I put Princess in dd's bedroom in the back in case I opened door to see what door he entered in our hall. Princess was slamming herself into the door!! She was freaking. He walked past as I looked out the peep hole he glared at my door. I decided against opening it at all.

I ended up getting mace for dd & I & something to reinforce the front door as well as another lock on the balcony. But it's not fair. I'm scared to walk the hall, scared to do laundry or to let dd do anything here alone. She walks to school in the dark while I work. I hate it.

Tues. we were leaving in the car & he walked past & glared at us. I went into the building a few seconds behind him to see what apt. was his. I was not quiet/sneaky, he looked back at me then continued walking past all the apts. Today I have the air on & left my bedroom window open on accident. Came to close it & that jackelope was turned around outside looking up at me! How do I not feel creeped out? I can't get a PPO unless there's at least one more 'incident' & I pray there isn't. Just wanted to vent, and also want it on the WWW in case, just in case.
