Thread: Dealing with a stalker - Suggestions

Hi Loanranger and while not sure what the outcome was regarding the drone, but if it was a genuine problem, try the link below.

I had a weirdo stalkig me ( electronically ) for a while a couple of years back because I'm a moderator on another forum. He'd already driven one of the other moderators away... I didn't really care, none of the text messages or facebook messages etc threatened violence ... Fortunately for me he lived in Sydney ( otherwise i would have headed straight there and sorted it out in person ... no doubt .. right away ...

Anyway, I ignored them until my wife started getting freaked out when she asked me why my phone kept beeping text messages all the time. I had a couple of choices, my instinctive one was to jump on a plane and go plant a fist in his face

The answer was obvious, I looked up his name in the phonebook and rang him ... His wife answered .... Well ... That was the best news ever. I explained to her what was going on ....5 minutes later ... no more messages but a freaked out phonecall .... from what was obviously the toilet where he was hiding....... He was frantically trying to yell at me, but be silent at the same time .... His wife obviously flipped out and demanded to see his phone... and looked in the inbox and outbox ( I'd ignored all contact so inbox would have been empty, but outbox full of weird crap) .... and asked this WTF was going on .....

How is THAT for a comeback. Way better than a fist in the face.... a ****ed off, freaked out wife giving you buggery for the rest of your life

Never had another weird message or anything from him since.

Thanks Drivesafe,

If I see a drone I'll follow it up on the link. Alternatively I'll just take my clothes off that should cause the pilot to lose control

Borrow a shotgun for a drone.

A throw net would be a good way to bring it down in suburbia
BCF should stock them.

You don't get that instantaneous satisfaction with that approach.
