Today, I found out the identity of the pervert who's been staring at me through my bedroom window in the late hours of the night. My parents and I decided to set out a trap for 'him' instead of reporting to our local cop. Turns out, we caught my 37 year-old neighbor in the act. He's the cop. FML

Today, as I was going to bed, I spotted a man staring at my window from a neighbor's yard. Ten minutes later, he was still there. I freaked out, started crying, and contemplated calling the cops. My creeper turned out to be the neighbor's wooden lawn ornament. FML

Today, I caught some perverts sitting in a car in front of my house, spying on my neighbors. When they refused to leave, I grabbed a baseball bat and they sped off in a hurry. Later, those same perverts came back to arrest my neighbors for drug trafficking. I had threatened cops. FML

Today, I heard my neighbors having a violent argument in their front yard. I listened in, and soon found out why the wife wasn't happy with her husband. Apparently, she had caught her husband peeking through my windows for the second time this month. FML

Today, I woke up to NYPD detectives banging on my door with flashlights, looking for some criminal who used to live in my house. Apparently, when they showed the man's mugshot to my neighbors upstairs, for some reason they identified the man as my husband. FML

Today, after nearly a year of being stalked, harassed and even terrorized, the police finally found out who my stalker was. It was my 19-year-old son, who thought it would be a fun prank to pull. FML

Today, me and my friend decided to spy on my crush. He lives across the street, so we climbed on the roof of my house and watched him with binoculars. He was working out, and after 5 minutes he started writing something. He put a piece of paper against the window and it said, 'Stop watching me.' FML

Today, my neighbor - whose first words to me when I moved onto the block were "I don't like your face" - called the cops and claimed I'd been exposing myself in public. His lowlife buddy backed him up on his lie. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up in deep trouble thanks to them. FML

Today, I was asked out by a guy who is doing community service because he was caught peeping through windows. I was tempted to say yes. FML

Today, I came home from work and went to open the door. I Iooked through the window and saw a man in my house. Terrified, I called the police. They came, searched the house, and found nothing missing. I went back inside and looked through the window and saw him again. It was my reflection. FML

Wouldn't it be nice if they invented some sort of way to cover your window to keep people from looking at? Maybe even add an easy way to uncover it if you want the view outside during the day. Oh, wait. They did.

Thank god you caught him! If you had just reported a peeping tom, he just would've gotten sneakier and you wouldn't have known. And, people shouldn't NEED blinds to keep people from looking in their bedroom windows at night! In a perfect world, people would respect others' privacy.

58, it's true. You do, in those states, have a right to shoot to kill if somebody is trespassing like that.

Uh you can still see through blinds and curtains, especially the shadows. Also she could not have been undressing but just had the blinds open and sitting and doing her homework or something. I don't think she was undressing in front of the open window. Plus if your a stalker or into children being naked, under 18 still constituting and child, then you don't care about trifling blinds and curtains, also just watching the person do anything will get you off.

Jeez, all the people saying she should get curtains, blinds, etc., maybe there was a reason she hasn't gotten them. So it's HER fault he's watching her? Seriously, people, think.

I understand that people keep saying, "Get blinds" but there probably is a chance that she's already thought of that. There's probably a reason why she doesn't have them. Obviously. I don't know. You still could have reported him. He's not the only police officer in the station, I'm sure. So you could have reported him to another police officer. Like someone said, yes it would be hard to pin it on him (without evidence) but it's still possible. He shouldn't abuse his power like that. Fricken jerk.

#37 - FTW! But seriously, OP, go to someone above your nasty ass neighbour. Trust, you're cleaning out the already polluted system by getting rid of that scum. THROW HIM IN JAIL!

Yeah cops will do anything to cover their asses and it can be hard to punish them when they break the law. But you and your parents are all eye witnesses. That's some of the best evidence you can have in a case like this. Especially after catching him red handed (excuse the pun).

As I have been peeped on before, and I know how startling the experience is, I feel for you OP. You lose all safety, or rather the feeling of it, in the one place that you should feel safe no matter what--home. The violation of privacy and the creepiness associated with it... is just horrible. Either way, I agree you should go first to other cops and then go to a lawyer, if that fails to work. I wish you the best of luck, and as a vindictive bitch... in my opinion, you should make sure he's prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
