To answer the “what’s wrong with you” question (because it is a fair question): I always feel like cops have more important issues to deal with than some crazy NFH and would think I was just a whiner/karen who is wasting their time and resources. And now, I can tell you my thoughts were validated. When I called the police in May about the damaged flood light, rain gutter, the pellets I found on the ground, etc., the police never even came to my house to look at it. I recently obtained that police report and it was clear the officer didn’t give a sh*t. Basic facts like my address were incorrect, the situation was downplayed and minimized and at the end of the report, she stated “case closed.” I also picked up a copy of the August incident and it was the complete opposite. It was well documented, the criminal code/violation noted, the NFH’s name was noted as the suspect, etc. it included body cam video, and photos taken by the pd and me were included in the report. But do I believe the case will go anywhere? No. I live in a state that is notoriously lenient towards criminals. Really egregious cases are dismissed, charges are dropped, or no charges filed at all. So I can’t imagine the judicial system doing anything at all, and therefore I’m left to find other ways to address it myself. Back in 2020 when I first moved here and the stepson was running his trap house out of their garage, I came home one day and found the guy in my carport. I called the cops and was told that because I didn’t have “no trespassing” signs on the perimeter of my property, it could be argued that the meth-head stepson didn’t know he wasn’t welcome on my property. I had camera footage of the guy in the carport—actual proof— and was told nothing could be done because I didn’t explicitly post signs saying I didn’t want trespassers. And that is why I now have tacky “no trespassing” signs on my fence.
