The stupid bastard should be locked up.
If I saw a little red dot on me or mine and I spotted where it was coming from, there would be a call to the police as fast as I could get to a phone, right after I cleaned up my pants that is.

LOL, I reveived a bright white light across my face, woke me up out of a sound sleep. i at first thought it was the fire dept, but then realized i didnt smell smoke.

no little red light, bright white, kinda like a light you would use going hunting, or something to that effect.

but anyway, all good the last few nights, but as soon as i see the flashlighting, even if it isnt in my window, I am calling 911.

Its stories like this that makes me feel good about moving out of an apartment in Brooklyn and into a house on LI. I don't know how I would have reacted to this situation. I'm confrontational and I might have gone up to the apartment in the middle of the night and banged on their door.
These are the nuances of living in a building with other people. You could live in a building with hundreds of other tenants and just one ahole can ruin your day. As you said, you've been there for 25 years without much issues until now. I feel your frustration and hope this doesn't happen again.

Wow! This is a different level of some of the annoyances of living in an apartment building. How bizarre! I can't think of why someone would do this unless they were working for the NSA or a nutjob....

It is actually baffeling to me.

I can see the woman, maybe she has the "eyes" for me, I dont know. Maybe she knows who I am out in the street. I have not a clue.

but the man, that supposedly is her emotional unstable father, ???. At first I only saw the man, the last Saturday, I discovered the pony tail, and was shocked it was a woman....ugh. a woman!!!


anyway, my binoculars have arrived from amazon, and I will give it a good look tonight.
In the meantime, we keep our shades the same way in the living room, as my plants need morning sun, and we are never in that room anyway. the bedroom shade that faces their window, I just keep pulled all the way down, till I put the a/c in the window, that will solve that, as long as there is no flashlight, I will be ok......

And if you see the laser, put down the binoculars...one perfect beam will blind you.

The binoculars are really good. I can see the kitchen cabinetry and all. I saw someone near the kitchen area, but couldn't see the face, they moved to fast.
I didn't have as much time last night to focus on it, but I did however leave my shades rolled all the way up in my living room, like we normally do, and as i passed my living room, i can see right to their window which had the curtains tied back, then a wall.

My partner said he saw the man smoking at the window in late afternoon, but that was about it.

I am hoping they got the message with the police there and all....and I know they know, that I am hip to them now. LOL....
I will keep trying, probably this weekend, since i will be home more.

It is funny because I never really took notice of thier window before, it was kinda of like just there, like mine and paid no attention to it. Now when ever I walk in my apartment, my eyes go right out my window to thiers.

i did however keep the bedroom shade down, which is better anyway, because their window and the one above them is distracting when I watch TV as my TV is in the corner so it is in my eyes...
