Well....That's Creepy

Today I am thankful for my four security cameras.

I think I found out how the visual footage is hard to see at times.

When I come home in the dark, I can see my face, my car and even my license plate in the front security cameras.

When the neighborhood cat comes to call in the wee hours of the morning, I can see him with the back yard cameras -

but, last night I couldn't see the person who stood breathing in my front yard.

All I could see were two lights.

This happened twice; once at 0036 (again) and 0536.

I suspect whoever is doing this has OCD...I mean, the times are eerily similar.

I saved the footage.

I'm an artist, so I'll take it to the various video editing programs I have to see if I can get an outline of the person's face.

At least my former life as a YouTube content creator has taught me a few life hacks!

This is Wednesday.

My ex's family always had a penchant for harassing me on Wednesdays (especially in the wee hours of the morning).

No one tried to break into the house this morning. The camera just captured video.

I have only had time to reach out to ONE of my security camera manufacturers.  I have two different systems now.

Apparently, if one shines a bright light directly into the camera, it tricks the camera into thinking it is daytime so the night vision doesn't work.

This is easily remedied by changing the camera settings to constant IR night vision.  One system is now set to day vision - the other is constantly set to night vision.

It's sad to say this but I have a third IR camera system.  I thought about donating it to charity.  I've decided to hook it up by the windows.

One can use a cell phone light to obscure his or her identity but it is rarely effective.

When I found video of my gun-toting neighbor setting his camera on my porch for a few minutes, I wondered if anyone could use a phone camera to thwart a security system.  They can - but only at night.

My Private Investigator neighbor is worried about me.

I don't know, yet, if there is cause for concern.

It would really be nice for this to be over.

Love ya,

S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Temporary Ending

Dear Readers: Over the past three weeks, I attended both a city councilperson's town hall and the mayoral town hall. Despite battling the flu, I dedicated two days to watching all available city council meetings and study sessions on YouTube in between bouts of cold chills. What I observed was a troubling pattern of disregard for honesty and disrespect towards citizens, the rule of law, and the influence of partisan politics. It has become evident that certain issues transcend the scope of a mere community art project. This realization prompted me to raise my voice, a departure from my usual composed demeanor. After discussing the situation with my family, we collectively decided to remain in Aurora. It is clear that true leadership entails making tough decisions rather than simply following personal desires. I look forward to the opportunity to address these concerns further in a different forum. Warm regards, S.  P.S. There will be a new website. 

Visiting the Graveyard in my Hometown and Addressing Fears I'll Soon Join the Party

 Today I am thankful for a laugh.  It didn't start out funny.  My aunt visits once a week to use the washer and dryer.   My new dryer broke just a few days out of warranty so we dried her clothes outside. While standing outside, she took me aside an said "I don't want to alarm you, but....." then she got silent.  I pointed at the shed.  "Are you worried about all the stuff pulled out of the shed?", I asked.  "Yes.", she replied.  "That happens all the time!"   She advised me to chain the door.  I've done that.  The thief just tears the roof off.  It's easier just to keep crap in it I don't care about so the thief can rummage and take what he or she wants.  Again, I was advised to consider moving, especially after finding a full gas can in the mess.  My aunt is afraid my ex-husband is going to kill me.  I've been court-ordered to live here for another two years.  Sigh.... I'm sure a judge would allo...
