Anyone ever have a problem with a "peeping tom"?

We have had an issue with what we believe to be a "peeping tom". I caught a man looking through our living room window twice, about 5 or 6 months ago. We just now caught him again about a half hour ago. I called the police and an officer came out, and told us he would put an extra patrol in the area around the time the "peeper" seems to strike (between 4-6 a.m.)

My question is, has anyone else ever had this issue or problem? Any ideas on what I can do to deterr him from coming back/staying away. I of course always keep my doors locked, but it's scary.

Any ideas/suggestions?

    **Make sure you always have your doors and windows locked and I'd keep my curtains closed so that he can't see into the house.

    Do you have a boyfriend or a male friend that you can have stay with you so that he knows there are other guys around?

    I wouldn't have the guts to go outside and try and find him but if you do, that might be one way to deter him as I don't think he'd be expecting you to do that.

    Other than that I don't know what else to suggest.

    Hope it all works out for you.**

    No I haven't. Get a digital camera re4ady, with a flash on it. Catch him in the act, and the flash will be something he will not ever forget. Awe, it even sounds fun, wish I could do it. Good luck, don't take this garbage from anyone!

    Yeah, I was in the bushes and then they came out of the house yelling and throwing things at me... I was scared for my life.
