I had a similar series of incidents (breakins and voyeurism activities) happen to my family when I lived in Ohio. The police would do nothing, and an off duty policeman who lived next door saw the perp at the window and still did nothing because according to him, it wasnt his problem. Even after we gave the police the name and address of the perp,(my daughter recognized him as a neighbor) they did nothing, but advised me that I could go to jail if I hurt him. It was only after the perp tried to burn my house down, (stating that he was angry that I bolted down the windows) that he was arrested. Not by the Police, but by the Fire Marshall. I pray to God you dont have to have a fire before the police do something. Its a shame, too, that many police departments are so focused on creating revenue, ie speed traps etc, than crime prevention or reacting to a crime that has already been committed. Shame on them for that, (This only applies to some police and police departments...You know who you are)...and God Bless our real heros, the fire fighters everywhere. By the way, the perp has been in prison for over 10 yrs. He was sentenced to 5 to 25.
