Do you think it would be beyond her capacity to rent or borrow a car I dont' know and sit outside my building?
Sorry - I meant a different property entirely, not just a different unit in the same apartment. If she hunts you down at a new place, then I think she's crossed the line into stalking, and you can revisit the restraining order issue. Is she already at the point that she's parking in your apartment's lot and watching you? If so, you migth want to check with a different cop - that's enough to make any sane person worry about his safety. If not, then you're just staying one step ahead of her.

I'm pretty sure they'll help you out with this one - just tell them you're being harassed, and trying to solve it without court orders or lawyers or whatever. You're not the first person to need an emergency phone number change, though I imagine it's mostly women who request it.

Her son could have. Her boyfriend could have. Her brother could have. The guy who broke into her house to steal her stereo could have. I don't know why she's contacting me, and I do ignore her. As for a restraining order, the phone calls HELP, but they aren't threatening. I talked over and RO with the cops, and in order to get one, something has to be going on that would make "a reasonable person" feel they were in danger. Right now she's just annoying the shit out of me every other day or so, which as I said is only worth a $200 worthless ticket right now.
And I will say again, that if you get her a citation for $200, it'll make clear that you're serious about getting her to fuck off. And if you have to get several of them, it'll cost her lots of money, make a large inconvenience in her life (especially if she has to explain it to her son or boyfriend), and make it clear to a judge that she's nuts, and that you deserve a restraining order. Do you really think that a 40 year old woman with a career, a kid, and (presumably) some kind of life isn't going to stop and contemplate the fact that the police are issuing her citations over her actions?

I can't help you there.
