You’re welcome Kathy.
Now here’s your next step.
Contact your local police (or sheriff’s department if you are in the county).
File a “suspicious circumstances” report.
Ask for the report number and keep that number for reference.
If it’s not a formal report; ask the dispatcher for the dispatch reference number (sometimes called a CAD number).
Ask for extra patrol (ie extra patrols of the neighborhood).
If you aren’t a gun owner yet; consider becoming one.
God bless you.
P.S. Changing locks, having someone stay with you and alerting your neighbors are all very good steps you have taken.
Yes, I notified the city police yesterday. You are right about getting the report number. I will call and get that today.
I did ask for extra patrols and I emailed the cop that was here last night and thanked him for watching my house. (I figured if they are watching my emails they might as well know I have extra eyes on me now, besides theirs.)
I also own a gun and keep it nearby now.
Plus I am going to write an article about gun rights and women’s safety.
