Today I got a text message from my friend and she wrote: "I got a new phonenumber. I will explain later" I wrote her back and then she told me what happened.
She said that she got a new number because there was an unknown man who kept calling her. She also told me that she had seen a man sneak around in their garden and that he stared at her through the windows.
My friend is very scared now, because she is a housewife and during the day she is alone in the house while her husband is at work. She is afraid that the man will try to break into the house while she is alone.
She has talked to her husband about getting an alarm so that she wouldn't be so scared when she is alone in the house. She doesn't know who the man is or how he got her phone number and her address. I am worried about her, and I really hope that nothing will happen to her.
Have you ever been in similar situation?

That's very alarming I hope she can report it to the police so whatever happen to her they will have a lead. I hope her husband will take some action for the safety of her wife.

They can also put some CCTV cam outside the house where the man usually take his post while sneaking around so they got evidence for the police.

That sounds like a good idea. I will suggest that when I talked to her next time, because I think that the man might return to the house.

I also think that she needs to report it to the police. So far she hasn't reported it because she hopes that her new phonenumber will solve the problem, but I that man still knows where she lives and he might sneak around near the house again or worse try to break into to the house 
Her husband is also worried about the situation. They are together in the evenings but during the day he is at work and my friend is alone in the house. I hope that they will get the alarm that they talked about, that would to inprove her safety when she is alone in the house.

I have never been in a similar situation, becouse things like this doesn't happen in my country. Also a housewife isn't normal in my country ;)

Where are you from? It is good to hear that you have never been in a similiar situation because it is scary situation and my friend still doesn't know who the man is where she got her number from.

I also think that she ought to report the whole thing to the police. She hasn't done that yet, because she thinks that her new phonenumber is going to solve the problem, but I am afraid that it won't solve the problem because the man still know where she lives. In this discussion I got a suggestion about installing cameras in front of the house and I think that sounds like a very good idea. If the man shows up again and they will be able to record him and show it is to the police. She doesn't know who the man is, it is someone that she has never seen before. She doesn't know he got her phonenumber or her address either.

Your friend needs to keep all her doors locked and windows shut. She should have some get some pepper spray ready to ward off the stalker.

Yes, that is very important, because she is alone in the house while her husband is at work and if that man is watching the house he might try to enter the house when her husband is gone. He used to call her all the time, but she got a new number and she hasn't received any phonecalls from him since that time, and he hasn't showed up in front of her windows the last couple of days either. I hope that he has given up, but she continues to be very careful in the future in case he comes back.

It is good to hear that your friends have been able to avoid a similar situation. Fortunately I never experienced the same thing as my friend, but I am worried about her safety because she is often alone in the house and that man knows where she lives. I hope that her new phonenumber will prevent the phonecalls from the unknown man, but is scary that he knows where she lives. She has no idea who he is or how he got her phonenumber and her address.

I agree with that. It is very important to feel safe in your own home. Hopefully that man is not going to break into the house, but the fact that he has been walking around in their garden and the area around the house and stared at her through the windows is scary, and I would also be very worried in my friend's situation. She is alone during the day when her husband is at work. I hope that her new phonenumber will prevents the many phonecalls from the man, but he still knows where she lives.

Porco, indeed it is scary if someone whom we don't know keep stalking at us. But, i am really wondering as how that man able to get hold of her number and home address. Does she ever fill-up any contest or application form that fell into the wrong hand of people? Hope she and her husband will figure out the best and safety way to protect their home. It is really dangerous to live there without any proper protection. Because we never know what is in the stalker mind. Better stay safe then feel sorry later.

well, sometimes it could be a form of being a paranoid to those with mental problem though some people create such imaginary stalker. in case your friend is telling the truth she need to make a precautionary measures and changing the phone number is not enough, if the stalker continue to threaten him and allow her everywhere she goes. she need to talk to her husband and from someone closer to him to give her advice and seek for protection and walk not alone but with a companion. so she felt terrible with those feelings that something bad might happen. so this arouses from her trouble of facing her stalker. so f she becomes so worry and anxious she need to call a police and report anything that bother her.

I think your friend should do something about it . She must report it to the authorities. CCTV would be a great idea. They might as well as help from their community to check for suspicious-looking man that might be going by her house everyday.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, your friend must be bold in such kind of situation and face him with her confidence. As you mentioned she told about this incident to her hubby, really it is a good thing, hope she don't face any issues with this stranger. I never faced this kind of situation in my life, if i face it, i will place a police complaint and request for their protection

Pretty scary! Does your friend have any idea who this man is? Is your friend new in the neighborhood? Anyway, reporting to the police, like what other mylotters have suggested is a wise move.Also, they can also buy a surveillance camera for their protection.They also must keep their surrounding lighted. I hope nothing bad happens to your friend.
