Nuckingfutz is right. In my case, police only aggravated the situation. The guy broke into my house with a gun and tried to shoot me. The gun jammed, and to this day, I think I had a guardian angel that night. I lost around $20,000 to this nut, and the only way I got away from him was by selling my house and moving away from his neighborhood. He did go to jail, then prison for a short time, but nothing equal to his crimes. As Nucking said, these people know how to manipulate the system.
