Thanks Melba. I'm not sure I'll go for an IVO, I'm not sure I'd even be able to since he hasn't actually threatened me directly, he's just made threatening comments about me to other people. If he comes back though, then I definitely will

Stay safe dude. It’s a pain in the butt but I suggest jot down anything that happens along with the date. (Even if it’s only a few words or one line.)

Also it might be good to set up a camera in any way that works for you.

I've actually been pushing to have a camera or maybe one of those little ringy bells installed, but the old LT was against it. Since it's just me though, I think I will setup an old phone in a position that'll capture the front door at least with one of those ipfs camera app thingies.

The old LTs room sits right at the front of the house and has a view of the driveway and the front entrance, my room is in the front but sort of to the side (so I have a general view of the front porch and kind of the front door). But that's also why I'm a little nervous, if anybody was going to break my window, they wouldn't need to jump a fence first or anything, they could just walk up the driveway

I’m sorry you’re in this situation. Definitely set up the old phone camera and keep yours handy

Unfortunately I can't because the best vantage point and my spare phone are in the spare room, which the cops told me I should keep it locked and avoid going in there until they've come out, or officially decide not to. I did have another old phone in my drawer next to my bed, but I noticed today that it's completely smashed and no longer turns on
