"Please park in your old spot by the sidewalk so I can watch you come and go. I can't see you so well in this new spot, and all I have to keep me company is your photo."

For context, my cousin found these zip ties and some sort of tag on her car. The door handle and apartment door also had zip ties and a note on her apartment door.

Transcript:

"John,
I’m not mad at you. I am terrified by/of you. Once your hands do the reverse seal and your eyes go dark... I have to go fast. Last night, did you see these finger bruises on my wrists? neck? You hit my left side hip and knee with the door so hard it's purple. I can’t walk without limping. Thank you so much for the rides that helped so much. I’m sorry. I’m just scared. You really scare me. I have to protect myself."

#26 This Note I Found Inside A Desk At My High School

"I saw (different names) arm hair up close on (different dates)."

Back in high school, I was in my class, and the classroom had one of those desks with a space underneath to store stuff. I reached inside, and this is what I found. A couple of months later, my friend found another one just like this on the floor, but it was for January.
We reported it to the school, and they took the second note. As far as I know, nothing ever came of it.

#35 I Found This Creepy Note Stapled To A Tree Outside My House

I think the creepy feeling comes from the way the note is written. It’s almost as though they are having a conversation with the person they’re writing to. Something seems a bit disordered in the thinking and conclusions it takes to type this, print it, and find a place to staple it so this one person they stared at sees it. That doesn’t mean they’re insane, but perhaps not as well as they could be.

#49 My Mom Found This Today While Looking Through An Old Notebook. I Wrote It As A Kid, But Have No Memory Of Doing So

"If I was invisible, I would haunt my parents. I would first start out with minor things, like pulling their covers at night or knocking dishes over. Then it would get worse. I would turn the lights on and off. I would whisper sinister things in their ear if they decided to move out; I'd stalk them."

#52 Today I Woke Up To This Note On My Car

The note was placed on my windshield while my car was parked in my building garage, which happens to be accessible to the public.
I’m reluctant to report this to the SF police because they are incompetent and their hands are tied behind their backs.
I’m worried that the threat will be acted upon in the near future.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?

#56 Came Back To My Car With This On My Windshield

I was shopping in a plaza with my little sister tonight and started heading back to our car pretty late at night. I noticed a man leaning against his van (late 40s) and eyeing us as we left the store and walked across the lot. We approached my car from the back since I had stuff to put in the trunk. I didn't even see this until I got home. Inside was more handwriting and a radio station. What do you guys think?

#58 An Old Man Who's Been Stalking Me Left A Note On My Car At My Job

For context, this man was a patron at my work and has been coming around for the past 4+ years to disturb my peace of mind and bring me small gifts. He was generally friendly and pleasant, but always gave me a gross feeling in my stomach that told me I should definitely keep our interactions brief and never give him any information about myself.
The last time I spoke to him, he insisted that I go out to lunch with him or call him on his phone. Putting my foot down, I told him I was not at all interested in ever doing something like that, but I thanked him for the gifts. His reaction was subtle, but it really made me change my tune because I could detect a certain callousness and animosity in his demeanor that stood out as a huge red flag to me.
Today, this note was taped to my car. I have no idea why he addressed me as "Garbo," but I have to assume it's a reference to Greta Garbo.
Hopefully, this is the end of him coming around, but of course I will be on guard for anything suspicious.
