So it looks like I have an admirer, and rather than sending me "likes" on facebook like a normal human being, he/she has resorted to keying my car instead. Short of getting bored and moving on, he's kept this up for well over a month. There's only one person I've had the sort of disagreement that could result in such a personal fixation, and everyone I've talked to says that he doesn't fit the mold. In fact, after the last attack on my car, the fixation is so perfectly manic that even I have to admit that the person I suspect probably isn't responsible. The time frame makes no sense and the vandalism seems utterly disproportionate to our conflict. That said, my landlord sent out a building-wide email to cut it out, and the next day it looked like someone went at my car with a weed wacker. Therefore it makes sense to me that the culprit is a tenant.
Every attempt I make to resolve this has me feeling a bit like Wile. E. Coyote. Everything I buy or do just backfires on me in some hilarious way because the vandal has every home-team advantage. He can pick the time of the vandalism, hiding a camera is next to impossible, there's likewise no place to hide if I want to hang out all night with a baseball bat, and proper camera equipment that would actually work is many thousands of dollars. In addition, I googled the issue and my landlord is not legally required to provide security for the building as a whole.
Has anybody else dealt with this type of issue? Were you able to resolve it, and how?
Oh, to be clear, I'm the only one who's dealing with this. Nobody else's car is getting vandalized, and the person is so thoroughly fixated on me that they're ignoring my wife's car and any of her other belongings.
