Oh Val, Just read this post. You stay safe!!!!!!
Stalkers are crazy people, I should know, I had one
many years ago. This creep knew where I was and what I was
wearing all the time!!!! I was always scared to death to go anywhere.
I wouldn't go anywhere until he was locked up. What a nut case!
You be very careful, and Please don't go out at night alone.

When I was 19, I started working in Manhattan at a large law firm -- my first "real" grown up job. After working about 5 or 6 months, I began to notice this middle aged guy in a lot of places -- on the train or express bus, outside of my office building occassionally and sometimes at places I'd go eat for lunch. But I never really paid him any attention because I just figured he worked in the same area as me. But then he started making eye contact with me and giving me these creepy, leery smiles. Then one day out of the blue, while I was walking from the train station to work, he came up to me and said "Good morning Jennifer." I almost had a heart attack!! I said, "Who are you and how do you know my name" and he said (which scared the HELL out of me), "I know everything about you Jennifer Lynn. Where you work, what train you take, where you live. I know that you when you eat at Wendys, you dip your french fries in a frosty. I know everything about you." I remember what he said to me EXACTLY! Well I'm sure you can guess my reaction … I RAN LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL TO WORK!!

When I got to work I called my parents and the cops. My dad took me to file a police report. But basically the police said they couldn't do anything to him because he hadn't threatened me or tried to hurt me -- also, I didn't know who the guy was, I didn't even know his name. But I was still scared $hitless. My dad drove me into work for the next week but that couldn't last forever so I started to take the train again. I didn't see the guy for a few weeks and then it started again. He would always say hello or hi and smirk at me in some sick way. By this time, my dad was picking me up after work (which wasn't easy because he worked in Brooklyn and I worked in Manhattan -- he had to drive through all that crazy traffic every night!!) Whenever my dad would pick me up, we never saw the guy. It was like he saw my dad and then just left so that there would not be a fight or argument. But my dad is smart (and sneaky). One night after work he said that he wasn't coming to get me. So I left my building and the creep was outside and started following me. Then out of nowhere my dad and 3 of my cousins jumped out of a car. They said to me where's the guy and I pointed him out -- he was walking practically right behind me. So my dad and cousins surrounded the guy and basically threatened his life! They grabbed him by the shirt and were yelling at him and shaking him. The guy said that he never touched me and it's not illegal to say hi to someone. My dad forced the creep give him his wallet so that he could look at his ID and get his name. Then my dad threw him on the floor and said if he ever even looked at me again, he'd have both his knees broken.

After that I didn't see him for awhile -- about 6 weeks. Then he started in again. He must have thought that my dad wasn't serious. He tried to kiss me and I then I ran and he chased me into my office building at 9 a.m. in the morning on a crowded Manhattan street in broad daylight!!! I won't go into detail but my dad and cousins basically beat the crap out of him. They had his address from when they looked at his drivers license. After that, I never saw the guy again.

The point of my story is that the guy got MORE and MORE aggressive each time and he got worse each time something was done to him. So Val please be careful with this creep -- he may seem "harmless" now because it's over the phone but he may get aggressive once the police get involved. He's already proven that he's determined because he keeps calling after your hubby threatened him -- in fact, you said he got WORSE than before. Please carry pepepr spray on you (just to be safe) -- at that time, I even carried 2 box cutters. You never know when you might need it and I hope that you never do. But sweetie, you know the saying … better safe then sorry.

Screw the Pepper Spray....I'd invest in a Glock!

P.S. I just love your Dad...he's my hero!

I was going to suggest a number change and get it unlisted!

Jen...your story is very unnerving! What a FREAK!!!

Passionfruition · 05-12-2006, 01:34 PM

I know, dude, Jen's story had me shaking in my computer chair. My eyes welled up with tears just trying to IMAGINE such a horrible thing. What a sicko! I am so glad things were resolved but it SUCKS that the cops wouldn't do anything!!!! I guess it's a really testimony and it probably happens more than some of us even know - or DON'T know we're being watched, that is.

I really am scared but so far haven't noticed anyone following me. I commute 30 minutes to work and I live in a gated community so I feel pretty safe but gosh I'm going to start carrying pepper spray, seriously, bc Jen's right, you never know, and this guy Ricky is obviously a sicko as well.

Val. I think you also need to notify your Condo people to keep a really good eye on your place. I know you probably already did but with Sully home.... I figure I'd mention in just in case....Let us know if the phone calls worked.

Great - neighbors too - can't hurt to have everyone you know keep an eye out for you - this world is too crazy....I know your work is dog friendly - maybe you could take Sully The Wonder Dog with you more ? I know that would make ME feel better if I were in your position -

GOOD LUCK girl - I hope that guy gets bored & leaves you alone. I want to say I hope they catch him - but that would mean he'd have to DO something ...and we don't want that !

This was happening to my 17 year old daughter. He was calling from a blocked number so we had all of these calls blocked. When he began calling from his work (a real estate company) the police paid him a visit. He ended up being like 28 years old. He never said anything dirty or threatening, but did call at all hours. The police took it seriously and put a stop to it quickly. Her father and I had already politely and not so politely asked him to stop calling. We would keep her phone with us when we went to bed and answer it, but this went on for a month and we couldn't get him to stop.

I would personally change my number. Did you know that there is a site called reversephonedirectory.com that he simply has to put in your number and it will give him your address.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope that this is soon stopped.

pspin1975 · 05-12-2006, 07:12 PM

WOW, scary! Just so everyone knows, if you do want to call the guy and you don't have a private number, hit *67 before dialing the number, it makes your phone number blocked. Little trick i learned back in middle school when i would call the boy I liked just to hear his voice but didn't want him to know it...or maybe it was high school too...lol! Becareful Valerie...I hope he goes away...yuck. Nasty perverts.
