JimL1 Champion Author Phoenix Posts:6,305 Points:907,900 Joined:Jul 2003	Message Posted: Aug 30, 2010 4:32:21 AM Ignore JimL1 Report Abuse Carl Moore sounds just like my neighbor who calls the police, and various city departments complaining about just about everything. The city services she calls frequently come, investigate, find nothing wrong, and leave. I have asked that the city charge frequent callers who file invalid complaints with something like the "False Reports" charge used to handle false reports to Police Departments, however, my city even accepts and investigates reports without the reporter identifying themselves, which this neighbor uses.

It sounds like that neighbor should be locked up for criminal harassment and threatening phone calls in the middle of the night.
