DanceWithWinds60: Yes on both Shine. But in the court system, it is extremely difficult to prove harassment. The only reason why her husband was successful in getting that order, is because he had recorded something she had said to him, unbeknown to her. When she was asked in front of the judge if she said that, she denied it. The recording was played, the harassment order went into place.
This morning, my friend awoke to her tires on her car slashed. We all know who did it, but there is no proof.
This has gone from a desire (wanting the husband) to a revenge (getting caught and charged) payback. If both are still her intentions then, best to start putting up cameras on their property and catch her in the act, then let the police handle it. They'll have their proof, plus, it will remain on her record, so as each time the police need be called makes for a quicker response/arrest, the deeper she places herself into the hole she's been digging...she'll eventually find herself in prison if she continues.
DanceWithWinds60: Great idea! I will even help her buy them, that is a good price. Do they record or just view?
I honestly don't know, but it's worth looking into. I'll have to ask her or go on the Walmart website and look them up and see what kind of description they give. If they don't do the job it would probably be worth it to look at other video cameras.....cheaper than a set of tires.

Get the cameras, start changing it around.
I am agreeing with the cameras and am actually speaking to her now about it. She too is agreeing. I am afraid for her, and if this woman can maliciously slash tires, this makes me believe she is capable of doing bodily harm too.

I'm telling you.....they need to be able to say, "I feared for my life". If this situation escalates and something really happens this is going to be the key phrase right here.

She won't go to prison for harassment. She might spend a night in jail when she gets violent if a police officer tells her to stay away from the guy.
She will want revenge if she is forced to go in front of a judge. Ignore her. Put up the cameras. Do not confront her. Every action causes a reaction. The best thing that could happen is for her to be arrested. They will see how she handles herself and if she is truly mentally handicapped, they will hold her.
2intrigued: The key is the statement highlighted in bold above and if the couple are secure in that thinking, there is no issue.
Given that more details are being shared beyond the original post, I think it's gone far beyond worrying that the woman will lose her man to a stalker who's determined to make both their lives miserable. My only suggestion is to document everything, stay well away from her and continue to report to the police.

She was caught with proof on that tape, she wants revenge, and won't stop until she feels she got it...which in some cases never get satisfied, or the desire to cause harm could also escalate and get completely out of control.
Your friends can also get 'dummy cams' and put them on the dash of their car, as a cheap deterrent while the real cams get installed around their property. Also, have sensor (motion detector) lights installed around doors. Solar sensors are good for around windows....so are dummy cams.

Slashing tires is more than a harassment. Causing trauma is more than a harassment. As she continues, it's possible that it could come down to bodily harm. Eventually she could face imprisonment if she gets too far out of control.

I agree Shine, and have her working on that, she is now admitting she truly is fearing for her life and safety.

Secret, I lean towards the revenge part too. It became 100% worse when she had to face the judge and the judgment was against her.

At this point, all means of security and protection should be put into place.
Everyone has been very helpful and it is appreciated. It is nice to see and have people care enough to give great advice. Thank you

DanceWithWinds60: Okay ladies, tell me, what would you do with the knowledge that another woman is wanting to take your man away from you? You know your relationship is secure, solid, and that your man would never do anything to hurt you. But a woman finds an overwhelming desire to have him, and will go to great lengths to get him. Lies, deceit, set ups to make a situation look bad, setting him up into a situation he had no idea that would put him into a bad spot, etc. What would you do?
