I'm not surprised most men don't report these incidents. I was stalked by a crazy girl for a few years, to the point where she moved across the country to be in the same city I was to stare at my house. I had ignored the nonstop gifts and threatening emails/calls from her for a few years, but after it got to this, I went to the police station to see what my options were before escalated to "Fatal Attraction" level. She wasn't a big girl, but batt crazy....and most people know that crazy can often be much more dangerous.
I was pretty much laughed at by the first 2 cops I talked to, and only the 3rd one (a female) actually even gave me a listen, if not much of a solution. I didn't accomplish much and was made to feel like a Semin. The lesson was pretty clear, if a woman threatens you in some way....mentally or physically....then you better just toughen up buttercup.
