How can I know if my family is being stalked?

Since we have moved to our current province, we have been experiencing really weird events. The first notice of this was in our first apartment. My wife would msn me at work saying she thinks she heard someone try the door knob. Of course I would rush home. Then one day she said some older guy was parked by the sidewalk and when she walked by he called her closer, which she didn't do. He said he thought she was someone else and that he made a mistake. Then he started asking her questions like if she lived around here. I don't know how much, if anything, she told him, but he started talking about how he lived around here and he loves the area... blah blah. She was very uneasy about this, and the next day when she was going to pick up our daughter from school, I picked her up early and we went to see if the guy was there again. He was, in the same spot, stopped. I parked a ways away and waited for him to leave and followed him home. I then called the police who went to his house to question him. His answer was it was an innocent mistake. The cops left him alone.

A few months later, we went fishing as a family (my wife and daughter) between 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM. We lived on the basement floor and we were the only apartment on that floor. we came home at 8:30 PM to find someone had smashed our lock but unsuccessfully tried to enter our apartment.
We called the cops, and they came over but couldn't do anything. The landlord installed a brand new lock.

A week later, in an even smaller window of opportunity and in the middle of the day, we went to church sunday morning from 10:30 AM to 12:00PM, we came home and noticed that the brand new lock had been tampered with. We called the cops who asked us if anyone was out to get us, and then told us to get the h out. We did.

New apartment as of october 1rst. Baby born early Oct. all seems well.

the weekend after we buy brand new tires, we have a flat. We take it back to get looked at and the guy tells us that there is nothing wrong with the tire, that someone just let the air out of our tire.

During the holiday season, 2 guys come to my door claiming to be Bell Inc. employees doing door to door sales. I didn't buy it so I went out into the hall with them took all their information and got some good hard looks at the guys.

One day early Jan, after going into our storage locker, I notice that the door is unlocked, and our luggage is stolen. I also notice that the super old and crappy practice amp that I had in the doorway was still there. Thought it weird that they would have left it, but it was a pretty crappy old amp.

Just this Saturday (Feb 12 2011), I went into the locker and it was unlocked again. This time all I could tell was missing was the practice amp. We went away for the weekend and came back sunday night. As we got to our apartment, there is a helium balloon floating outside our door saying "Congratulations, It's a boy!" no note, no card, nothing. In almost a panic (I see now I should have kept it) I took it and let it fly out my window.

I feel like so much has happened, but I have nothing to show to the police as proof. What can I do??? I live in canada and I need to know what action to take to protect my family. Please only informed answers if possible, I need to deal with this fast.
Also, and pretty important, some random woman sent my wife a facebook message about being from out of town and wanting to connect with people with the same interests. She never responded to her.

Answer
Hire a private investigator and install security cameras and to be safe get tazers and/or pepper spray.

Wrongful arrest by wall mart ? CANADA ONLY PLZ.?

Josh B

My wife went to Wall Mart tonight to pick up a few things, while she was there she went to the electronics section and bought a battery for a small remote controal she had with her to make sure she had the right battery. She paid for the battery at the checkout in the electronics section, put the battrey in the remote, put the remote back in her purse, and went on with her other shopping. When she was done she checked out at the regular checkouts and was leaving the store when a man standing at the door approached her and told her she was under arrest for shoplifting . she told him she bought the battrey and she had the reciept to prove it. He then says "You Know you didnt pay for it I have the package" and told her to come with him. He then grabed her by the arm, she then asked him to to remove his hands from her arm. he refused and again told her she was under arrest, Placed her in hand cuffs and and Marched her in front of everyone in the store to the back room where he held her until the police came. While she was in the back room she again tried to tell him she had the reciept for the battery and it was in her purse. She was told to " Shut the fu*k up and sit down" and She was refused access to the bathroom... when the police came he thought it was a joke but had no choice but to give her the promisss to appaer because it was the Store cop that was pressing the charges .My questions are this
1) Is this a case of False or Wrongfull arrest in Canada ?
2) Is this a Case of Forceable Confinement ?
3) Is wall Mart responsible for the actions of the store cop ( is that who we would sue)
4) do we have a criminal case against the store cop for his actions. mainly grabing her by the arm and refusing to let her go
Oh Ya. My wife has NO record, is a new mother to our 7 month old son, she drives a $70,000.00 SUV we own our home and do NOT have money problems.... the battery was worth $6.97

Also what is this sort of settlement worth.. we would like them to settle fast and donate the money or wallmart gift cards to some local familys that wont have a very nice christmas.
As for the comment that there is more to this story.. there is not.. dont be so nieave to think there has to be more to it.. even rent a cops can be total idiots .. he refused to let her go in her purse to get the reciept... as for what Province we live in: we live in a small town in B.C (Powell River)

and what does a $70,000.00 SUV have to do with it?.... If you can afford to pay for a $70,000.00 SUV outright .. do you think its likely you would risk being arrested stealing a $6.97 Batt. ??
The rent a cop was Arrested this evening and charged with Assault X1 Forceable confinement X1. I am informed my wife will not see a court room over this matter, Not in the Hot Seat anyhow.. furthermore the Walmart manager was a TOTAL DIC* he basicly told us we were full of it and defended the rent a cop right untill the police showed up, put him in cuffs, and walked him through the store out to the car.. he even wore his jackett over his head, man it felt so good to see that....

Greetings from a CDN RCMP!!

He could be charged with kidnapping, forceable confinement, harrasement, unlawful arrest...the list goes on. What Prov. are you in as the powers of arrest for rent a cops varies by Province.
Definetly a lawsuit in the making, and were the local PD crazy for issuing a notice to appear? She had the reciept, there is camera footage , especially in electronics, this is one of the craziest judgement calls on the part of the "arresting" officer.
The store security is an employee of Walmart, that is who you take legal action over, and they really should suspend that security guard, bad attitude for one, and stupidity second.
