Pls Help!
A man has been living in the parking lot behind my apartment in his car for several months on and off. I live on the first floor. When I was doing the dishes the other night (fully clothed) I turned around and he had his phone flashlight pointed at his ding dong, and he was masturbating, watching me.
After I did a double-take because I could not believe what I saw, he persisted. I yelled for my boyfriend to come over and only then did the man leave and get back into his car and drive off, only to return the next morning. I was in shock and did not really know what to do (I should’ve called 999 right away), but I tried contacting the non-emergency line and could not get through to them that night.
The next day after consulting with family and friends and realizing it was an emergency, and because he had not left, I called 999. An officer came to my apartment and filed a report. the man was parked in his car in the parking lot the whole time the officer was there, but the cop said he couldn’t legally ask the man to leave because he was parked there and didn’t do anything.
The cop said all he could do was file the report and a detective would be in touch in “a few weeks”…he also advised me to get the owner of the parking lot involved, because only he has the legal right to have the man’s car towed.
I tried calling the tow number on the sign in the parking lot but the number is not even in service.
What can I do at this point…? It has been over a week now and he has still not left the parking lot, (in the past he has come and gone). I feel extremely unsafe and I feel like no one is wanting to get involved for whatever reason. It seems pretty straightforward to me.
I don’t even care about charging him I just want him to go away. It’s really throwing me off. If anyone can guide me and help me get to the next step that would be immensely appreciated.
