How Do You Stop A Peeping Tom?
Have you been getting that, “I think someone’s watching me” feeling? Have you spotted prowlers outside your window when the sun goes down? Have your neighbors reported someone dressed in black scampering across your backyard? Sadly, you don’t have to be a model or movie star to be a victim of unwanted photography or privacy invasion. Even so, there are ways to make a peeping tom think twice about targeting your home. Place soft dirt around the window you suspect the peeping tom to be using. If you see footprints facing your window the next day, you’ll have confirmed your suspicions. Take pictures and report this invasion to the police. Post a “No Trespassing” sign in a conspicuous place. A more creative poster might read, “While you’re watching me, the police are watching you.” That should motivate the prowler to tuck tail and run.
