Hi Rose
I hear what you're saying, but the police can only do so much and usually only AFTER a crime has been committed. They don't have the resources to keep a watch on your home 24/7 and, let's face it, they don't care as much about you or your belongings as you do.
I'm not out for awards or to prove anything either, and I don't place myself or my family at unnecessary risk. If the man is innocent, there would be no reason for him to become defensive. If so, it could easily be laughed off. If he's guilty, and something does happen, you'd be able to give the police a complete description and valid information to help catch him.
Lynn, I'm glad the police are aware of this. I'd probably mention that to him as well, especially if he becomes defensive - i.e., "BTW, the police have been wondering why you're hanging around here too.....and they've offered you free access to their drinking fountain. Want me to call them for you?"
