Stalking is no joke, so I’m sorry the police laughed at you.
A friend of mine was being stalked, because the stalker was an ex-boyfriend of his wife.
One day last year, while his wife was out of town, he came home and got clubbed by the stalker. He was dragged to the basement and chained to an I-beam. He was held hostage for two days without food or water and forced to piss and shat all over himself.
The stalker tortured and pistol whipped him while telling him all the stories of how he sat next to him at his wifes concert. The husband had a new Porsche and the engine went bad. He claimed someone must have poured draino in the gas tank, but the insurance company had him arrested for fraud. The stalker later joked that it wasn’t draino, but it was kitty litter that ruined the engine. My friend was arrested for what the Stalker admitted to, and now the Stalker was torturing him and threatening to kill him.
In the days he was held hostage, he slowly weakened the hand cuffs against the I-beam. He was able to escape while the Stalker slept. My friend ran down the street naked, frantic and ravaged with cuffs on his wrists. He flagged down a lady and jumped in her car begging to be taken to the police station. THE POLICE ARRESTED HIM and still didn’t believe his story.
He took them back to his home and the Stalker was long gone. My friend was immediately taken to jail where he spent another three days locked up. Luckily, the Stalker was pulled over for a traffic violation. He was found to have three guns in his car that matched the description my friend provided. Only then was my friend released and the Stalker was sent to jail for a year. The Stalker is to be released in the next month.
