Apparently someone has been leaving me very disturbing notes under my apt door. I won't go into details, but suffice it to saw they were very pronographic. :Q

Late at night (2:00 -3:00 AM) I would hear a knock on my door, and when I get up to see who's there; all I find is a note.

I have noticed someone hanging around near my windows late at night. I think this person is a man. Ugh!!! A homosexual stalker? Good grief, like I don't have enough issues already. :|

After the second note I called the police to file a report. They said they will investigate it, but need more evidence to identify the perp.

I am not living in fear but I am a little nervous. I am not sure what else I can do.



A Glock 29 would solve your problems.....

A M249 would be more appropriate.
 
I'm really sorry you're being stalked, but this thread is funny as hell...

I like the webcam idea. Followed closely by the baseball bat idea. (actually followed closely by the call the police when you get a pic of the stalker idea)
 
Plan A: Buy a .50 Deagle with 3 spare mags. Wait by the door all night, dont forget to bring peanuts to keep you awake. When the guy knocks on the door, shoot one whole mag through the door. Reload with the other mag. Then empty the other 2 clips in the guys body. When the police come, tell them that a huge dog must of attacked him.

Plan B: Setup a small gun turrent that is sensitive to sound. Have it placed behind your door. When the guy knocks, the turrent will end his life.

Plan C: Have a jar of vasaline and a condom out by the door with a note. The note must say: "please come in, my door is unlocked for you." Hopefully the bastard comes in. Then when you see the door open with the guy approaching to you, take your handy baseball bat and knock the f*cking sh!t out of him.
 
The advice a policeman gave my dad when we saw someone creeping around our house:

If he's dead, be sure he's inside the house by the time the police show up.

I'm surprised no one came up with the best idea...

Write a note responding in a positive way to the notes. Tell him you'd like to meet him and do it in a believable fashion. That way, he'll expose who he is and you can end it face to face.

Unless he drugs you, tosses you in his trunk and uses you as a sperm receptacle until he grows tired of you, then ties you up and tosses you in a swamp to be used as gator food.

That's why you don't meet him alone. I would have said that, but I figured the folks here would be smart enough to know that.
 
I suggest donning a manssiere and prancing about your apartment in an effort to entice him into taking bolder action and exposing himself.

If you don't like that idea, you could always try using a Fusilli Jerry as a butt plug.

Take a picture of you holding a handgun. Hang it on the window and the door.

Yeah right! He'll probably find it laying outside his door with the jizzums on it.
 
I vote for installing a security camera so you can find out who he is, along with leaving a note saying that's very nice but you aren't interested. If he continues to persist set up some manner of sting with the cops/a very large and perhaps armed friend.
 
Is there any consistancy to the days he drops notes off? Keep a little log of times and dates, see if there is a pattern. Ifthere is, take a day off of work, stay up the night before. Have a camara, a flashlight and a gun. Take his picture, the flash will stun him, turn the flashlight on so he can't see you, and if he is armed, get him in your house and shoot him...otherwise call the cops and show then the pic you took, or keep him at bay of he doesen't run.

You might want to get a friend to help...never know how crazy this guy might be.

Good luck.

Why not try something simple and easy first? Write a note that you don't appreciate this attention, are not interested, have notified the police, and would like the person to stop. Tape the note to your door and leave it there until it's taken off in the night. See what happens from there.
I have been thinking of doing that for a few days now.

Update: I got another note last night. Ugh!

I feel like playing mind games with this guy. Maybe get him to do something very stupid and have the police waiting for him. Either that or hunt him down like vermin.

Yeah, but there's the unlubed baseball bat problem which was mentioned on the first page.

Still, there's an easy solution.

use a LUBED baseball bat. That way if the guy overpowers you and takes the bat, it won't be as painful.
 
normally this type of thread is funny, but when it involves me, its not funny.

I understand the jokes and all but this guy creeps me out.

No I am not getting a gun. But I do have a nice piece of broom handle that will work just as effectively as a baseball bat.

If I see him, I will end this once and for all.
 
camp out at night and when the picture slips.. open the door with your broom! (trying very hard not to joke about the broom)

if you can't camp out.. get a friend to do it lol.

yes the good ol' basebat ! soultion to everything !

As opposed to all the wannabe Dirty Harrys and their "get a gun" advice. Which usually causes them to try and one-up each other by suggesting bigger and bigger guns with each post after.

HA! I think you just beat them all! Good show! :beer:
 
You might want to check with a neighbor or the mgr to see if anyone else is getting them, it might be kids playing pranks on random(ish) people.

You could also look on the sex offender list for your area and see if someone lives nearby that is on the list. 50/50 shot even if, but, still good to know.

Lastly, as said before, you should be able to borrow/get a camcorder setup to record for a few hours through the peep hole. Just set it up on a tripod on enough telephoto that it gets a good picture. If he's knocking on the door each time it should be fairly easy to figure out who. You can set an alarm to wake you up every 2hrs and change the tape. 4x is not bad to catch who it is.

Then send the tape to the apt complex mgr and have him evicted (because odds are they live there).

And of course keep us updated.
