For the last 6 months or so, an older lady sits in her car in front of either my house or my neighbors. She sits all day. Her car is full of 'stuff,' and I mean, full. She reads, knits & sleeps. My neighbor was bothered so I went out & spoke w/the woman. I asked her if she was homeless. She gave me her address, which is not too far from here & said she just likes the neighborhood. She is here nearly every day & watches everything that goes on. I feel like I'm being watched. My neighbor called the police twice, but there was nothing they would do. Seriously, it's been 6 mos. or so & it's really starting to bother me! What do you think?

she says she has a home & older children. I have thought about how she is kind of like a security guard. I smile at her & sometimes wave. I'm still thinking about it, but thanks for your insight.

Yes, she's back today. I'll be curious to see if she's here on Easter.

shemust be depressed or lonely, go see the address and see if anyone knows anything about her, invite her for dinner or something, maybe she is very troubled but doesnt know how to show it, or a crazy old woman, idk....

ew, thats a toughie there. I would have suggested the police, but you have already called them..... Ummmm... if she is in front of your house then that is trespassing and that is against the law. Also, there has gotta be some law against what she is doing. But I suppose you wouldn't have the time to take this matter to court. I would politely ask her if she is able to leave becaus eit make syou feel uncomfortable her watching you every day and all. But, if you are too shy for that, I would maybe find her some friends? If she wasn't too much of a creep, I would invite her over for tea sometime and while you were there, ask he if she would mind not being around your house all the time. Tell her you need your privacy too. And then, I would invite her over in a few more weeks. I hope at least one of my suggestions will work for you, if not I am terribly sorry, I have tried my best.

...and giving you her address meant what for you?...
...proof of?...
did the police give you any ideas of what you could do? Are her plates legal?
do you have the nerve to claim she has verbally threatened you and your neighbor will claim to be witness?sorry...lie.
She needs to move on. She's a danger to anyone including and especially the neighborhood children.
Does your lawn sprinkler also sprinkle the street when you water your lawn?
How about a car parked in front and behind too close for her to get out? Accidently mud the windshield and back window?
Does she leave at night?
Try going out with a camera during the day and taking all kinds of pics of her and her car at all different angles, maybe hollering to your neighbor as s/he watches "They said to be sure to get a clear picture of the license plate and her face in the same pic". and "They said if we can match any of them up from the post office pics we'd be moving the case along a lot quicker."
I've got a neighbor who tracks my leaving and coming home and also figures out what room of my home I'm in at night based on the lights, tracking me in my own home. I did the picture thing and they stopped for now.
Good luck. The cops dont do sh!t. Ooooh, how professional.

I think you're making a big deal out of this. She is just an elderly lady with lots of free time and an odd way of spending it. Have you ever asked her to park somewhere else? If you politely ask her to, and tell her that you are so glad she enjoys your neighborhood, but sometimes her car is distracting for you, I think she would park in another place. Remember that you might be elderly and bored and lonely one day, and you would want others to be kind to you.

She's probably homeless. Or scared to be in her own home. If she's not hurting anyone or anybody - give her a break.
Although in rethinking my answer above, I'd imagine it would become very worrisome to see someone living in their car across the street from my house. You might want to call social services or a local church to see if there is anything anyone can do to help this lady out.

call your local job and family services and explain your situation and see if they have any numbers for a local place that deals with cases like this and approach this lady and get into a conversation with her and find out some info on her like if she lives alone and how old she is if she has any living relatives ect....then contact a family member of hers and notify them that she has been acting this way and to have her looked at by a dr. or physcologist....her behaviour resembles that of a adult with adult dimensia she needs someone to help her....do the right thing and and seek help for her...poor little thing
