This went on for over 6 months and the threats became more serious and still the police would do nothing.\u00a0 they wouldn\u2019t even go pay her a visit to inform her that she needed to stop or she could end up in serious trouble if not dead.\u00a0 Stalking laws are very week and it\u2019s not uncommon to hear stories on the news that end up with either the victim or the stalker being shot or seriously injured. I finally got tired of the stalker and the police inability to do anything about it so I decided that I would start building a case of my\u00a0own and kept every deranged letter, phone call message and package she would leave.\u00a0 I also installed a\u00a0camera system around my house and believe it or not, the cameras were not completely installed yet and we were capturing footage of her driving by.\u00a0 The very next day we had images of her vandalizing our cars and leaving letters in the mail box.\u00a0 Up\u00a0until now the police would say how do you know it is her.\u00a0 Well now they couldn\u2019t say that anymore since we had images of her, her car and license plate.\u00a0 She did finally leave a note that the police took seriously and we had to get a lawyer to represent us when she went to trial.\u00a0 All this cost us several thousand dollars but the best\u00a0envestment was in the camera system.\u00a0 I later became a\u00a0sales rep for self defense and home security products which you can view at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texasdefensemaster.com\">www.texasdefensemaster.com<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.texassecuritymaster.com\">www.texassecuritymaster.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let this happen to you.\u00a0 The only way to stop a nut job like this is to be proactive and build your own case before someone get hurt or worse.\u00a0 Protect yourself. Oh by the way, we won our case and she did 9 months in jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me share something with you that actually happened to my wife and I a couple years ago,\u00a0 we had a stalker who would leave bizarre messages, letters and even come to the house and vandalize our house and vehicles.\u00a0 This went on for months and we would call the police to file a report [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2741,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,15,16],"tags":[32,20,55,56],"class_list":["post-10","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-empower-network","category-home-security","category-self-defense","tag-empower-network","tag-empowerment","tag-home-security","tag-self-defense"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2741"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10\/revisions\/13"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/justvision\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
