To all lurking freepers, creepers and other rightcrawlers:

[guitar man]

I don't know if it is politically motivated, but SOMEONE is watching my house. For all I know, it could be some of my wife's creepy extended family, but I kind of doubt it. I thought I'd post this here and at the other boards where I hang out in hopes of diffusing a situation before there actually is one. If admin has to remove this, I fully understand. I will try to be as tactful as possible.

Whoever you are, if you are reading this you need to know your actions could have some very undesired consequences. You may think you are being "patriotic" or something, but know this. I WILL NOT TOLERATE brownshirt type intimidation and tactics. Not when it comes to my home and family. PERIOD! I may be an outspoken liberal, but something you may or may not know is that I served in the US Marine Corps. It may have been 20 years ago, but I still have my skills with the "tools of the trade" if you know what I mean. I have taught my wife a little something about wielding the "tools" also, and If you haven't noticed my dog you're just thick.

So whoever you are in the little blue Honda car, the best thing you can do is stay the hell away from my property and my loved ones. We wouldn't want things to come to a bad end, would we?

1. can you get a license plate number? In some states, you can

go to the department of motor vehicles and then find out to whom the car is registered.

[fdr_hst_fan]

5. Go for it, DUDE!

Don't be intimidated!

[wicket]

2. That's so scary

I'm so sorry to hear this :( Is there any way to get the authorities involved?

[sangh0]

3. Report it to the police

Please.

[libhill]

4. YOU GO BUD -

These right wing assholes seem to think they`re the only ones with guns - hee hee

[pocket]

6. ambush them

break the windshield with a tire iron.

watch 'the big lebowski' first to get worked up for it.

[redqueen]

14. Yeah right... emulating Walter is the answer - NOT!

lol... I hope this was a joke!

[pocket]

22. it was mostly a joke

DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS?!

heh :)

[redqueen]

31. lol

I got labeled as Walter Sobchak on the Which Big Lebowski Character are You test... not what I expected!

[Bertha Venation]

7. Have you spoken to your neighbors?

Told them about what's going on?

Taken down the Honda's license number? Reported it to the police?

Good luck.

[the Kelly Gang]

8. get a little video camera and film them

[tom_paine]

9. kick

:grr: :mad: :grr: :grr:

[iconoclastic cat]

10. That's freaky. Why would someone stalk you?

And, are you sure that it's you that they are stalking? Man, go to the police.

on edit: I agree with some of the ideas here: Tell your neighbors, get a camera, maybe hide across the street and get some footage. I'm pretty sure that with the proper info, you could find out who this is and get them in some serious trouble.

[guitar man]

21. Why?

I've been pretty outspoken and haven't pulled any punches about the way I feel about things. Not so much here as in other places. Here it's like preaching to the choir :)

I just thought I'd put it here too just in case.

[guitar man]

11. The cops know

So far, I haven't been able to get the tag number. The SOB always seems to show up when I'm naked, either coming out of the shower or um, other activities one might be doing while disrobed.

[iconoclastic cat]

13. Exactly, what does this freak do?

Are you sure it's a male? Does he just sit in the car? If this is happening in broad daylight, someone else might've seen him.

[guitar man]

20. Only once in the daytime

He pulled up in the end of my driveway this morning when my wife was puting the dogs out.She was in her robe and he made a lewd comment. The other times I've seen him, he's been sitting in the street in front of my house, watching the place.

We had a feud with her family a while back, I won't go into the gory details. It could be one of them, I don't think even she might recognize everyone from that bunch, especially just seeing the person for a few seconds. I don't get the feeling it is one of them though.

[Hubert Flottz]

33. Shoot them a moon, It works for me!

But out watch it's not Bob Dole or Mite Dickya, all hopped up on Viagra! I'd be hot too! I've had stalker trouble before, but they didn't like my Buford Pusser impersonation and my baseball stick, so they bugged out pronto! I had a ball playing hardball with them while it lasted! Hell, it was almost as much fun as bowhunting! Your visitors sound like the same class of people that I dealt with several years ago! They haul ass when it's their ass that's in pain!

The cops didn't help me much either, but they let me take care of my bidness! I think they were glad to see someone gently kick these people's asses! The idiots I had trouble with didn't learn much from the lesson from me, other than that they picked on the wrong construction worker! After I busted their chops some old lady kneecapped one with a .38, when she caught him in her garage! Two of the others hitched a ride with a guy at a bar and tried to rob him, and he cut them up so bad they both almost bought it!

I had a 16 year old girl babysitting my kids and three of these bad boys came by and ran my kids in the house! Then they tried to load the girl up in their Clampett truck! She got away and called the State Police! The cops called my wife and I at our jobs and told us nothing, but that we should come home ASAP! The trooper told me that if they came back to call them and they would bring me a warrant to sign! I told him that if they came back he'd better bring a death certificate! The trooper said that if I bagged one in the yard, to drag him in the house before I called!

Anyway, it turned out that a couple of good ass kickings did the job! I do think it adjusted their attitudes toward me though!

[Moonbeam_Starlight]

12. Yep

I say call the police, just give them a friendly little heads up and definitely note the license plate number.

Then clean the guns.

Even the liberals here in Texas are armed! LOL!

Hope it turns out well!

[meisje]

15. a beautiful mind?

[iconoclastic cat]

18. Now, stop that...

[The Stranger]

19. Blue Honda and Black Helicopters?

Sorry, couldn't resist. You shouldn't either! Resist this oppressive surveillance!

[iconoclastic cat]

16. Nice studio!

I wish I had the money to buy a freakin' ADAT, for Jeebus' sake.

on edit: Green with envy!

[guitar man]

24. thanks

look on ebay if you want an adat or two. Since the hard disk machines have gotten so popular, the adats have gotten pretty cheap.

I have all my stuff moved out to a friend's studio right now. We're working on his album over there while I'm doing some expanding and remodeling at my place.

[iconoclastic cat]

27. First, I need to find a job.

Then I will buy toys. But I do dig those hardisk decks!

[Lori Price CLG]

17. Your post title rocks; I am bumping up your message.

Bumping up your post - and best of luck to you tracking down the Reichwing terrorists.

23. Might be thieves casing the neighborhood?

If you've already notified the police, does your area have a neighborhood watch or anything? If this is some people casing the area looking for houses to rob, chances are you're not the only one who has noticed them. Call your neighbors and ask them, maybe. Semper Fi.

[West Coast Democrat]

36. That's what I thought when I saw these parents sending their kids...

from door to door in my neighborhood last night pretending to be Trick or Treaters. It was after dark.

[guitar man]

25. BTW

Thanx for all the support. DU ROCKS!!!

:yourock:

[Bunny]

26. If you're not shy,

throw a towel around yourself, grab the camcorder, and walk directly toward his car, filming the entire time. He will notice that. If he has any sense, he will then leave and not return. If he is dumb and stays there, walk as close as you dare and keep filming. It may be all it takes to let him know that you are on to him - he may honestly be dumb enough to think he's under the radar!

There are all sorts of surveillance equipment that you can buy online. Maybe something like a motion activated camcorder? Place it near where he parks so that you can get some ID on him.

If he seriously has a beef with you, you've probably done what you can for now. The police have been notified, your neighbors are aware, you have weapons and know how to use them, etc. Keep your vigilance up, and always look for ways to get his plate number or other ID.

Good luck with this.

[guitar man]

29. Not too shy

I might just grab the camcorder in one hand and th .45 in the other and go after his ass stark naked, that ought to startle the shit out of him! :) He runs off pretty quick though. The dog let's me know when he's sitting out there. Pissed me off royally the other night. We had the candles and massage oil and Marvin Gaye on the stereo........Oh, you don't want to hear about all that :evilgrin:

[Bunny]

30. Unfortunately, that as close to IT as I can get, lately!

Glad someone else is having fun!
;)
Seriously, be careful.

[West Coast Democrat]

28. Hmm...that's odd. Do you want to hear something weird...

Some kids were going around our neighborhood last night claiming to be Trick-or-Treaters. They knocked on several doors yelling, "Trick Or Treat!" They even had empty bags to put candy in. Am I dreaming? It's not October yet, right?

[tom_paine]

32. I woudln't exactly compare that incident to the one which started this

Would you?

Naaah. Comparing a grown adult stalking others (especially the creepy semi-sexual aspect which may just be a coincidence) to some kids having a pre-Halloween prank on a lark...

What's weired, to be quite honest (apologies if this offends but I gotta call 'em like I see 'em), is your bringing up this situation at all...

[West Coast Democrat]

34. Their parents were with them too!

Anyway...I thought it was odd. Not that I'm comparing it to being stalked. I was just mentioning it because I had never seen these people before, and they were going from door to door in the neighborhood.

[tom_paine]

35. OK, that IS weird.

You convinced me. Did you speak to the grownups? What did they say? What did the kids say? Or did you just see it happening but they passed your house by.

Good news: You convinced me.
Bad news: My interest is peaked and I want to know MORE...

[West Coast Democrat]

37. My husband just closed to door on them...

but I told him he should have asked them what they were up to. I was feeling a bit paranoid afterward.

Also, we have a Kerry sign in our window, even though I'm not assuming anything was political.

[Moderator]

38. Locking.

If you believe that someone is watching your house, please contact the police.
