I need advice and protection, because I get stalked and tracked daily in Southern California.
Get out of California.
Talk to members in your Church and see if any can perhaps check up in you, make a showing maybe, hanging out at different times for a while.
It makes no sense someone is randomly stalking you, and if such is true consider moving.I suspect a ccw in Ca would take forever and honestly if you do not know and have not practiced with a firearm you may get yourself on more trouble than avoid it.
Owning a firearm means learning to be proficient with one to use it properly and that takes practice.
Do you have any idea what their motive might be?
Do you know this stalker? Does the stalker have multiple vehicles, or are there more stalkers than just 1?
” A stalker followed me to my mother’s apartment and parked where I always park.”
If they followed you how could they park where you parked?
These folks seem to be pretty sophisticated. 3 Different vehicles and even the security guards from the community where you live.
I’d suggest starting with your pastor. Review these events with him and ask what he suggests.
Are you pregnant? Are they anticipating when they can get your baby?
When they’re following you in your car, let them see you pull into a police station and entering the building.
Have you reported them to you building manager?
1.) Acquire a firearm and complete proper training and practice. Since you live in California, keep it in your home.
2.) Acquire legal self defense items: stun gun, pepper spray, etc. Keep a Maglite in your car.
3.) Document the stalking: photos, license plates, etc. and report it to the police.
4.) I would directly confront the stalker while he/she’s stalking me (while videotaping), but I cannot recommend that to anyone else because of the physical and legal danger involved.
To add to that suggestion the church folks could approach the parked vehicles and take pictures of the license plates for you.
Once you have the plates you could go to the local police station and file a complaint—they will need the license plate information.
Get your CCW permit, firearm, practice and carry.
Better to have it, and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
Also, document (as you’re doing w/ pics) vehicles and people with pics, get faces if you can, security co name from truck, make multiple copies for 2 friends to hold in sealed lg manila envelopes, to be opened in case of any event you’re involved with.
You are mentally ill and need professional help.
Are they swapping the cars, or do they buy a vehicle for each separate mission?
great you are already keeping dialogue with God about it. Ask HIM what it’s about and what more He would want you to do.
Mean time I would continue not document, plates, descriptions of people, etc it all may come in handy.
Can police be of any assistance? Maybe you can file notes about odd situations? again may not help immediately but at least each time you file it lends to greater substance of police knowing what nis going and maybe then they can help?
prayers for you, it can be mighty unsettling going thru such, but as you are already stick with The Lord.
One advantage of filing a report with the police—with license plates—is those plates could be stolen vehicles or have owners who have criminal records who are wanted by the police.
Sometimes you just need to get lucky—but you can’t get lucky if you don’t make the effort.
Excellent advice.
Gently, I think you are suffering paranoia. It is not reasonable to believe that all these random people are after you. You are not a head of state or part of a cartel or a billionaire where anyone would have that level of interest.
I encourage you to seek good counsel from 2-3 local Bible believing pastors and seek prayer and personal support and reassurance. Find a good man or two who will meet regularly. . I encourage you to pray through the psalms
Out loud, read your Bible, and pray especially asking the Lord to help you see what is a true threat and what is not. Sing praises. Attend the public worship.
Everything is going to be ok. This world is a dangerous place but it is not permanent.
Find assurance of salvation and things will get better. God is stronger than any enemy.
> Talk to members in your Church… <
Excellent advice, Skwor. This unusual situation cries out for viewing by a fresh set of eyes. Sometimes a person might see things that are not there. Or conversely, not see things that are there.
Falcon needs to bring some trusted friends into this.
I also agree with Skwor in regards to concealed carry. Proper use of a firearm requires the right mindset, and training, and knowledge of the local laws. That’s a lot to handle at once. Better to start with police grade pepper spray and perhaps also quality stun gun.
Then upgrade as necessary.
Try talking to the lady security guards about security stuff and see what they say.
I had a pastor who use to say, “When I enter a room the devil leaves.” I’d say with security camera backing you up, when ever you see something out of the ordinary, go explore and investigate it with the kind of curiosity a friendly dog would have. Engage Cesar Millan dog whisperer “calm, assertive” frame of mind and confront suspicious characters with a friendly outgoing manner. Conversationally engage with them and tell them what Christ has done for you and invite them to church. Praise God and laugh in front of them. They will have an exorcism right there or your energy will drive them away. Go from fear mentality to care free faith.
