A guy has been terrorizing us for over a week now. Last Saturday he tried to break into our house. He rang the doorbell, and when we opened the door he immediately stepped inside, claiming it was his house and that he had a problem with us and had been looking for us. We have absolutely no idea who this person is. We forced him out and he threatened to come back and said “you’ll see what happens then.” We called the police. They came, interviewed us, and left. About 10 minutes later they had to come back because (we later found out) the same guy was at his own house, apparently going crazy, holding a knife and threatening someone inside. The situation escalated so badly that special police units had to come and raid his house. He was arrested. We honestly thought that would be the end of it, especially since it was such a serious intervention. But a week later, he was released. Today at 11pm, exactly like last time, our doorbell rang again. We didn’t open the door, but we saw through the window that it was the same guy. We called the police again. They came, questioned everyone, and took him away — but told us he’ll likely be released again in 2–6 hours because he has mental health issues and apparently believes our house is his. We are honestly scared. We don’t feel safe leaving our home. Every time we step outside we have to look around to make sure he isn’t there. We just want our peace, but it feels like nothing is being done to protect us. What can we realistically do in this situation? Restraining order? Legal action? Is there anything that actually works in cases like this? submitted by /u/eengamer2004
