Vandalism--Help!!! What can i do to catch these creeps!?

Question

Ok so heres the story-

June 2006 - Sat. morning walk to car to get in for work and discover writing in pink lipstick all over the window, a heart drawn with an arrow through and my live in boyfriend of 5 years initials.

Nasty emails off and on throughout the rest of 2006..on myspace and no way to track them.

Dec. 31st/Jan. 1st- tires are slit on my new car so perfectly that they werent flat when i got in it, but blew out dangerously when i drove it. police took note of this and i told them about prior incidents.

Jan 2nd- hear a car door slam at 1:30 in the morning, so i run outside and see nothing, check my backup car (the one with slit tires is in the shop being safety checked), and now there another heart in lipstick all over the window.

Jan 3rd- boyfriend car gets a heart drawn on it in lipstick.

Cant figure out who it is, nobodys seen nothing, no tracks, no nothing. took pictures of everything and police wrote down incident with slashed tires.

What can i do?

ive ordered a night camera and we have motion lights already- these people come in my yard and do this with lights on!! what can i do else to catch them and get charges filed? new tires for my car were $600.00+ cost of camera $185.00, and my gosh the emotional mess!!! my boyfriend has no idea, thinks maybe an obsessed person, but come on slash my tires- that dangerous! the cop said i could have been killed or seriously injured. other who saw it said somebody wants me hurt!! what can i do? and how did they know i had a backup car from a friend?? are they watching me???? what should i do, im scared about this and tired of it. they are going to get what they deserve!! please help!!

nah its nothing with him i dunno what it is, but hes not cheating. the camera will be here tommorrow. i thought maybe his ex too cause she never got over him and lives about 15 minutes away. i thought maybe some crazy girl or something, i dunno, i just know they need to be caught- put my life in danger-i think not!!!!

ive given him the 3rd degree so hes clean. we have a cop who lives across the street so tommorrow when hes back from vacation we will tell him what happened.

i like the alaram system idea on ebay, will do, i thought about getting a dog for outside, but im a baby with them i love em too much!! cant leave them outside at night!!

so ill set the camera up and see what happens. and get the alarm, and see if the neighbor cop will stake out

im just so shooken up from the tire thing, the cops were like this person knows what there doing blah blah blah

i dont think the b/f knows who it is- he got fed up and bought the camera with rush shipping

ok so we staked out last night, and our neighbor, the cop, has taken a report of all incidences. nothing happened last night, but some big muscular friends of mine are staking out tonight since i have to sleep for work in the morning. the camera didnt arrive today, tracking shows it will be here tommororw...and we do have car alarms, but alarms only go off if someone trys to open the vehicle, messing with the tires and writing on the windows doesnt make it go off...ive got some suspects inmind, and are waiting to catch them in the act. no point in confronting people and asking around,i must keep this very private you know...thanks everyone for your help

Answer 1

The camera is the best thing you can do to catch the person without getting yourself in to a bad situation. If you decide to get a guard dog make sure you have a gate that blocks your vehicle from the street and make sure you place sings warning of the dog or you can be charged if the dog bites the individual.

The camera will catch the person in the act and you will be able to at least have them arrested for trespassing. The tires are probably a lost cause unless you can prove they actually did the slashing of the tires. If the person keeps up with the same M.O. (mode of operation) and they are caught then you have a chance to get your money back.

I personally think your boyfriend has some explaining to do, how else would the person know where he lives and know his initials.
Some women do have a funny way of getting people to break-up and perhaps it is someone trying to drive the wedge in between you and your boyfriend.

Short of hiring a security guard of private investigator you will have to rely on the camera and hope you or your boyfriend can identify the person in the pictures.

Good Luck and be careful.

Answer 2

First of all...i am very sorry your goin through this. Have a friend who wen't through something similar. A video camera set up is a great idea....and same with the motion sensor lights. How well do you know your b/f ? We did a stake-out for her a few times a week for a month. Didn't catch anyone, but it was worth it. Good luck.

Answer 3

Make a list of possible suspects, maybe it's someone you or, more likely, your boyfriend knows. Sounds like maybe an Ex-girlfriend of his could have issues letting go. The camera sounds like a good idea. Get a dog, a reasonably big one that would be able to attack someone in case of an intrusion. Personal investigator could be a last resort.

Answer 4

Borrow a huge dog that barks like mad and hook him outside at night. The camera is a good idea, but be sure it has a day/time generator or it won't be allowed in court as evidence. get a cheap outdoor alarm system on e-bay that will alert you when someone enters your driveway. They work great. alert all yor neighbors as to whats happening. and I agree with the person that said "the boyfriend knows something"!!!! Good luck!

Answer 5

The camera sounds like the best idea.Is it possible your boyfried went astray and jilted girl is doing this.Also contact night shift police and ask for a patrol watch.,

Answer 6

It would be one thing if your boyfriends initials werent in the heart.
IT would be one thing if you werent getting the messages on your account.
BUT come one
with the totality of all of these things, you must conclude that YOUR BOYFRIEND knows who this is

Answer 7

Sounds like your boyfriend has some explaining to do.....and you need to wake up !!!! Your boyfriend is cheating on you !!!

Answer 8

you could ask your local police watch nearby in a stake-out, then if they catch something they will be arrested

Answer 9

ah, maybe one of your boyfriend's ex
someone that knows both of u
because have your email

Answer 10

steak out
