A friend of mine has someone who lives a few streets away from them who keeps walking and cycling up and stopping in front of their house in the late evening, often multiple times a night.
They'll often stop across the road and start doing stretches, continually looking over towards my friends window or towards them directly if they're sitting out in the front yard. There is no back yard, so it's the only place to sit. It's kind of tucked away too, so you do purposefully have to stop in a pretty exact place across the road to look over. What makes it weirder is he'll often be in tight lycra cycling gear and completely over emphasise any motions that involve sticking his ass out.
This activity has been very disconcerting for my friend as she lives alone. So much so that one evening he began doing the same thing as usual. So after his first round she went to a neighbour and asked if they'd sit out with her for a bit. He obliged and as predicted the creeper came back. The neighbour took out his phone and began recording this person, standing in the garden, saying absolutely nothing whatsever so as not to provoke the situation verbally, but to show that he was being noticed and watched.
Oddly, instead of moving on after seeing this so as not to be filmed. He sort of embraced it and came over saying things like 'Oh, do I look good on camera do I?' and posing. Going on about how he's got every right to be there in a public space. Really quite bizarre behaviour considering the only action was to stand up and start recording, nothing was said to him. Eventually he moved on. It was as if he was expecting a confrontation at some point.
It's very odd. She is moving soon, which is good. But we were wondering if it would be worth reporting the activity before she does move or even after? She really doesn't want any stress and is happy to just leave. This has been going on for quite some time, many many months off and on.
We do know where he lives and we're pretty sure he's married. We're wondering if there's even any point to reporting the activity? It's all a bit bizarre, but he's not done anything substantial apart from just being a creep. I'd feel pretty terrible though if something happened before she moved or if something happened to someone else after she moved.
