A neighbor invaded our home (no joke) Don't know what to do.

[unblock]

8. we have a good friend whose ex is now in jail awaiting trial for this kind of stuff.

i don't want to ruin your sleep, but you need to be prepared for the possibility that this is not an isolated incident.

definitely lock the doors.

definitely notify police to start a paper trial.

document, document, document. simple as sending an email to a friend, just so you have the details *and a timestamp* for the events.

our friend had this happen to her repeatedly, so she even started erecting barriers of garbage cans and such so there would be a noise whenever he approached the house.


in your case hopefully there's no particular reason for this person to revisit your house as opposed to any other house (unlike the case for our friend given their previous marriage, kids, etc.) but i better safe than sorry.


even if it is the first and last time she does this to *your* house, it's likely not the last time she does it to *someone's* house, so it would be good for the police to know the details in case it's a pattern....
