I need to move fast. Could my new neighbors be potential serial killers?

Oh my gosh! That is pretty scary! I just found out my neighbors name was Charles Manson...  would suggest you grab your kids and get away as fast as you can, I hear people named Wayne are even worst than people named Charlie!

I had a stalker a few months back, which finally got arrested and thrown in jail.. but anyways he would hang out alot right outside my door, peek in my windows almost everynight (even if I had company!) Call my house and hang up as soon as I answered (I saw him doing it from his car). Anyways I was really scared and would call the police often about him, but either he would take off before they got there or run.. Police finally watched my house one night and caught him in my yard near my back door.. freaky stuff.

Okay, you've got some good advice here and some useless advice.  I'll offer mine in addition and see what happens.\n\nI'm confused: a woman has been stalking you, but a man was taking pics of the inside of your apartment...??\n\nBut you're asking for advice:\n\nMove.  Seriously.  If you really believe that your life is in danger, move.  Now.  People take the position that "I'm not being pushed out of here by these crazy people" and then live months or years, constantly looking over their shoulders.  I guess you can if you want, but if moving solves the problem, do it.  I know that's not a good answer for a lot of people...but if we are talking about your life, what's more important?\n\nSounds like your last contact with the police was on the 8th, right?  Don't wait for them to call you and let you know what's going on...call them, and ask what's going on.  Have there been any arrests?  What's the status of the investigation?  Can they offer you a temporary or emergency protective order?  Who is the officer or detective handling the case?  When can you speak with them?  What do they recommend you do, based on their investigation?  Where can you go to seek some legal advice or representation?  \n\nI don't know that I'd be so quick to get to the media as some have suggested.  I would certainly make every effort to work within the police department and seek your results through them, rather than possibly embarrass them or yourself in the media.  \n\nIt's late and I'm beat....but I'd be happy to help you sort some more of this out if you'd like.  You can email me at my user name at yahoo.com.  Really need to know what state you're in, though.

Keep calling the police. Call the apartment management. Talk to neighbors. Maybe you could start a neighborhood group that will agree to go together and hang out on the front porch all together to make these guys uncomfortable. Call some Christian rehab people! That'll get 'em!! Don't give up. Too many people give up and the drugs and prostitution takes over good neighborhoods. This is especially bad when there are children in the area, as they are susceptible to influences.

I'd move out of the way and see what they're running from before I started running myself.  To be more philosophical . . . you can run against the grain, but you might be run over.

I think the "neighborhood watch" must be more like "shotgun vigilantes". But I have a spare Nordic Trac that would make mighty good yard art, and I plan to move into the bread truck, as soon as those squatters are out of there! (Where's my pink flamingos?)

Since Stalking can lead to worse things other than what's at hand, I honestly think that you should alert the Police and all of your immediate family members and always let someone know where you are and who you are with just in case the stalker gets crazier than he/she already is.

Be patient and stay in touch with police.  They can't just run in on one complaint and clean house.  Get with other neighbors and see if they have the same feelings and get them to call also.  But if you have given them clear reasons as to why you think this person is dealing drugs, they probably have the person under surveillance.  They have to have reasonable suspicion with documented details to support the suspicion to be able to get a warrant to enter the property and search.  Sometimes that can take months.  I know you want them gone now, but it's not that easy.  Keep a journal of the things you see that lead you to believe they are dealing drugs.  Things like the amount of traffic coming and going from the place, times, etc.  If you notice a lot of the same vehicles coming and going quite often, take the dog for a walk and covertly get some license plate numbers.  Do NOT make it obvious to this person what you are doing!  There could be serious repercussions.  But this information could be very helpful to the police.  Don't approach these people yourself either.  Let the police handle it.  Once they gather enough information, they can put a stop to it.  Good luck!

i dont know if you are considering buying a house there, but one way to find out about good and bad neighborhoods is by logging onto homes.com. it tells you by zipcode which places are ok and which to stay away from. just click on crime info. good luck with the move!!!!

you might want to consider which organized crime group controls the neighborhood you want to open one in and get their input. They might have people on their payroll who can grease the wheels of beauracracy for you, and besides you will end up having to deal with them anyway.

not if you got a neighbor like mine

Do the crime so pay the time. I hope you smarten up before something drastic happens too you.

What you need to do is kill the first one that knocks on your door after 8pm.  Nail the body to your front door.  This will act as a deterant to other, would be callers.\n\nYou might, however, find that the police may get you out of bed, following complaints from neighbours though.

Sounds like you are planning a crime.\n\nNo help with that here.\n\n///

My first instinct is to say that you should call the police and file a report at the next opportunity. The police are usually very understanding and polite about this. Given how many of them work odd shifts during at least part of their career, they are likely to be sympathetic. What they will actually do depends on the situation and the laws on the books. Sometimes, just a police car rolling through the neighborhood is all you really need.\n\nThe mailbox thing is likely to be a federal offense. If it ever happens again, call your local postmaster and see if they'll do anything.\n\nIf you have any sort of home owners' association, you might be able to take this up with them, but I wouldn't bother. Your neighbors sound like trash. They're not going to listen to anyone without the proper authority.
