Chris,
>From time to time I have been involved in things that it would be nice to
have a police officer there. But they say it is not a police matter. You can
hire an off duty police man for security to just stand there. It makes all
the difference in the world to have a policeman standing right behind you.

I'd gather up all my Pantera buddies, and have them drive their
Panteras over to this guys house, -and- have a flatbed accompany you,
-and- make sure one of your Pantera buddies is either with the police
or wearing a CHPiE Hat.
