If he parks his vehicle in the same place, you may call a neighbor and have them diaable the vehicle until the police arrive. One important thing to remember. While it is important to get this guy to stop, and He probably wont stop on his own, unless he is inside your house, if you hurt him, he is the one with the rights. It isnt fair, but it is reality. YOu may detain him for the police, but you cant hurt him, gun or ballbat, it doesnt matter. It does matter that you keep your family safe, therefore I suggest that you never ever let your wife or daughter be there alone after dark to be confronted by him alone. I have read about getting a dog. That is a good starting place and I would make sure it is a dog that would intimidate any perp. Yard lights are also a deterent. The Electric company will install one for little cost. Perps hate lighted areas. If you see him, even thru a window at night, try to remember as many distinguishing features as you possibly can. Its hard when you are in a panic mode, but it may help convict him which is the only sure way to keep him away. Keep a mental inventory. If things come up missing, know it and what the items are. He may be comming in when you arent there and he needs trophies. If you are in a chase situation, try to orchestrate his escape route and try to have the police waiting for him. I'm speaking from experience here as I have been where you are now, and it is scary. You never get over feeling violated.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
