    Debt-free and Proud!
    This is dreadful - you've worked so hard to become debtfree, and just when you should be able to enjoy it, in peace - not have some nutter/stalker/madman accosting you with unwanted attention.

    I hope it all gets resolved quickly and take care of yourself.

    yes, totally agree

    Take care darling Piq

    I am just about to lose my darling moggie so keep on with the tales of Colin so that I can still smile!

    It has left me afraid, it's horrible. What I didn't put down here was that I think and so do the police that this person undid the wheel nuts on my car. As luck would have I realised quickly something was wrong with the car and pulled over straightaway to find my wheel at 90 degrees to the car. I can't get the thought of what would have happened if it had come off completely. I have to get a locking wheel nut this week, a friend has said he will put it on the wheel for me.

    Piq - get 4 - one for each wheel.

    So sorry that you are having to endure this crAp. Can't add any safety measures to what has already been suggested.

    Just hope the chap or lass who is doing this stops or is stopped - can't come soon enough :(

    That's awful. Poundland do,rape alarms, (or failing that air horns) might be enough to put them off.

    1. Put car and house keys on a wrist strap so that if you get frightened and in a panic, you do not end up dropping your keys.
    2. Always carry a very loud (acme thunderer type) whistle, blown very loudly and very close to an eardrum can cause intense and instant pain - enough time for you to exit.
    3. always carry a can of air freshener/deodorant - sprayed in the eyes is instant blindness but no lasting damage, allowing you time to remove yourself.
    4. Before leaving any place of safety, press 999 on mobile keypad ready to press dial if needed, hold your phone in your hand ready.

    Been in similar boat; the police were brilliant, no messing about. Stalking is not funny.

    I am sure you are already doing everything you can to stay safe. Just remember: stalkers very rarely move on to face-to-face confrontations.

    i would also add to suseesu's like that if you have to go anywhere by yourself, even if it's walking to your can txt or call someone to say you are leaving and to wait for your txt/call when you arrive or get into your car, where you can lock yourself in.
