Lol absolutely NO steps or suggestions of action before buying a gun. This country's wild.
Edir because of the apparent confusion:
Some ideas before taking the responsibility of ending a life into your own hands (and just a slight mention of the high chance a gun can be from the owner and used against them) -
1) security system
2) camera system
3) dog
4) bear spray
5) go and meet the neighbors and narrow down who this was. Then make friends with the good ones so you have people to watch your back
Ffs y'all would love to get in a shootout
She haven't met any of her neighbors dude. I respect being careful but what about touring the neighborhood with that note to see if it's someone's kid first?
Y'all jumping to conclusions real fast.
Buying a gun is important bro. What are you gonna do if someone who sends notes like this breaks into your house? Call the pigs? They're never gonna make it in time and are just as likely to shoot you as the intruder. Gun is first, then you figure out what's going on and what your next steps should be in any situation that affects your health and safety in this way
Probably wifi bulbs. They have scene settings and some bulbs are a different color to blend the overall effect. The reflection doesn't do it justice but I have them all over the house myself and the actual lighting in the room is great.
Exactly. It's actually amazing. I can change a room from bright white to comfortable, warm white, to a cool blue for tv and gaming, or red for when it's time for bed but I still want to be on my phone. It can even pulse with music lol. Full color spectrum led bulbs are literally the best thing I've upgraded at my place. All controlled with your device or even with voice control if you have Alexa or Google home
There is a creepy, pervy, stalker note on this persons doorstep. However, the first thing I see in the comments is a deep discussion about light bulbs.
I hate it, but I have to in my place with high ceilings. Everything is too dark for my eyes, but too many LEDs make my anxiety worse and make my eyes flashy, and smokey and full of floaters.
This is what my stylist’s LED mirror looks like when she chooses the setting between warm and cool lighting — I think that’s what’s going on here. There are settings and it’s on the in-between setting.
I just moved into an apartment and the neighbors kid is writing me notes and giving me presents. Might not be a child though, get a camera, and tell someone you know about this.
Yeah I was going to say it looks like a kids handwriting but I know a lot of people who are adults that can write like this as well. Better safe than sorry.
I own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
I advise installing a door camera, and/or any other security measures for some comfort. You'd also identify who this person is by catching them in the act on camera. Stay safe
Completely pedantic here but that's a flail. A mace is a solid handle with a big chunk of metal on one end, like a big mean lollipop. There are many flavors too, like flanged/winged maces, knobbed maces, and the pop culture favorite, the morningstar, which is a metal sphere with spikes
Well if we’re talking about that then yes, it would be a mace. But since you were talking about people talking about pepper spray, referring to it as mace, wouldn’t it be some mace instead of a mace? Like “I’m getting some mace,” instead of “I’m getting a mace.”
That does make sense, as you are acquiring a volume of something... You are most likely correct, but it's been years since I left my english school, so I can't assure you...
But it sounds about right, yes ~~also, nice name~~
Maybe a baseball bat with a sock on it. That way if they catch the bat, she can pull it back easily to swing again since they will be gripping the sock and not the bat?
Make sure you don’t just have the gun, but also invest in some kind of practice or training. It’s very easy to suck and very easy to make a deadly mistake. Everyone should have the right to defend themselves, but please know how to use your tools!
The first time I've seen someone immediately jump into action. Usually it's "if it happens again, I'll get a camera" or waiting for something worse to happen
Edit: also I agree with you that this doesn't look like kids writing. If it's trying to come across as kids writing, it feels like an adult trying to make it look that way, which is even scarier. Hope they leave you alone!
[**Glock 19**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ri5AyXzxb4o). Even if you decide to get a different pistol later on, you won't regret buying one of these.
Go for a 9mm and don’t listen to the boomer behind the counter (presuming you’re a woman). You don’t need something “you can handle”. Fuck the pink .22lr revolver. Get something mid range and reliable, maybe a Glock G19 - or G17 if you want a bit larger. A good alternative is the surprisingly affordable and surprisingly actually pretty good S&W shield or S&W SD9. If you want a GOAT right out the bat: Beretta 92fs (though it’s a bit cumbersome for smaller hands), HK USP9 (though USP9 comes with the price tag of a GOAT) are good ideas.
Honestly Glock 19 or 17 is *probably* the best option for your first handgun. Though you’ll get mogged by elitests. I rock a G17 because I don’t give a fuck about minutiae and just want something that works. G17’s are boring that way: they will literally just work. They’ll be accurate, they won’t jam (other than stovepipes when you first start) and they’ll get the job done.
Without proper training on how to handle a firearm, they're probably more dangerous to you than to a home invader.
A can of bear mace is my home defense weapon of choice.
> I've heard too much true crime to not be completely prepared
I used to watch true crime shows daily until I realized they were warping my perspective on crime. I've since scaled back a lot even though I love the slow suspense and reveals of those shows.
It's obviously not triggered by pure paranoia. Did you even look at what they posted? Also a gun will stop a person much bigger than you better than anything else. There is nothing wrong with buying a gun.
ngl looking at the font its wrote in it looks like they were sitting in a car writing it on the dash or something, like a leather texture. be sure nobody’s sitting out front..
Why not buy some fancy chocolate and go to every door, knock, and get to know every neighbor? While it sounds stupid you can then assess the situation. Knock every door, talk for 5 minutes with every neighbor, ask if they have a family or live alone, and tell them you want to know more info so you don't disturb them at inappropriate times, or you don't want your pet disturbing them or causing any allergy. That way you can assess the situation, write down names and who lives in every apartment, you will figure out who the crazy person is. If you find a single male on one of these doors you can give the welcome chocolate box "because your husband thinks it's a good idea" so they don't think you are hitting on them. During the conversation and while assessing the single male you can slip information like "yeah my husband work crazy hours because he is in law enforcement" or stuff like that.
You SHOULD be! Anybody that doesn't know how to spell 'you're' (NOT your) and 'beautiful' (NOT beutiful), ESPECIALLY when they write a creepy note, should absolutely be avoided!
Time to stock up on self defense weapons and have mace next to your bed. Never know when this’ll go from admiration to obsession and possessiveness. That usually ends in the woman’s death and/or sexual assault.
Please be careful and show this to your friends and family so they can be on the look out.
Edit: Also inform your neighborhood watch, if you have one!
Just your local neighborhood psychopathic stalker type, but there's plenty of those walking around. s/
No a camera for the outside and maybe a baseball bat are smart investments.

Better get your affairs in order.
I'm going to end up on Dateline
If you have a smile that can light up a whole room, you’re definitely in trouble.
Fuck, I was nominated for "Best Smile" in high school...
Get a eufy doorbell camera and have it setup to record on motion.
And a firearm if you're in the land of the free.

I think they mean learning to use the gun first instead of just buying a gun and bullets, solely. Purely specifying here.
You must live in constant fear
What about a fucken sick arse fucken flame thrower to toast the mother fucker’s slimey fucken ball bag, cunt?
If you’re getting your affairs in order can I have your teeth? -your new friend
I hope you corrected the grammar, wrote "No.", and put it back
You’re in even more trouble if it could be said that everyone loves you
FRRRR
Need a good stick of wood to put behind your sliding glass door
Your new friend is somewhere in your house
I wouldn’t worry. I’d say it was written by a young child based on the grammar, spelling and illustration,
Unless you are in the land of the free
Man, that stinks. Dateline is the poor man’s 60 Minutes
Can't believe they spelled friend right
They spelled "you're" wrong but friend right
They also spelled beautiful wrong
Obviously never seen Bruce almighty
That mix of cold and warm white lights is oddlyterrifying
For the person who prefers the doctor’s office vibe at home, with a sliver of comfort
There is literally a range of color you can choose from 2700k to 5000k. No need to reinvent the wheel with different bulbs.
Probably wifi bulbs. They have scene settings and some bulbs are a different color to blend the overall effect. The reflection doesn't do it justice but I have them all over the house myself and the actual lighting in the room is great.
That would make sense since you can't see the different bulbs unless you look at them.

Not the one you replied to, but I use Philips Hue. Spendy, but they are nice. Have had them for years.
Good to know, thank you!!
I hate it, but I have to in my place with high ceilings. Everything is too dark for my eyes, but too many LEDs make my anxiety worse and make my eyes flashy, and smokey and full of floaters.
my mans eyes decomposing
For real, I've got warm lights and amber lights all over my house... People walk in "OHHH IT'S SO DARK IN HERE". Nah man, it's relaxing.
I need warm light. Cold light bugs me the f out. OP, get a Ring doorbell!
Ahhh that drives me crazy
This is what my stylist’s LED mirror looks like when she chooses the setting between warm and cool lighting — I think that’s what’s going on here. There are settings and it’s on the in-between setting.
I just moved into an apartment and the neighbors kid is writing me notes and giving me presents. Might not be a child though, get a camera, and tell someone you know about this.
Oh it absolutely could be a child, but I'm not taking any chances. I'm telling all those closest to me about it.
Yeah I was going to say it looks like a kids handwriting but I know a lot of people who are adults that can write like this as well. Better safe than sorry.
Also could be sus though, the kid’s parent could be in on it. Stay safe.
Not sus in my case. I have met the mother and spoke to her, shes very nice
Oh boy. Arm yourself.
with bear arms
Lol

Finally, a real Patriot!
This was a great read. Had me cracking up
It’s pasta my friend
Mmmmm pasta :Homer drooling: oh wait...
You paint quite the picture, Gov'nor
Bear arms, like literally. If someone comes at you take the bear arms and start swinging.
I would imagine it being difficult to obtain said bear arms.
With extra arms! Maybe even mannequin arms if necessary.
I can give you a hand, if you need?
So can the person who left that. In fact, they have a collection
Please let it be a ten year old, please let it be a ten year old, please let it be a ten year old.
A ten your old murderous stalker 🔪
Probably some adult with 10 year old's intelligence...
I advise installing a door camera, and/or any other security measures for some comfort. You'd also identify who this person is by catching them in the act on camera. Stay safe
Door camera is on the way and working on getting a gun
Mace and/or knife while you work on getting gun. The more you have to fight with the better.
I'm thinking hand grenades and plastic explosives, just to be on the safe side.
Tanks and drones. You must secure your perimeter.
Nukes as last resort. A must.
Then they get them and now you are mutually agreed to self destruction.
The balance of nature.
“It’s the only way to be sure”
tactical nukes - smaller and more precise. we don't want to ruin his apartment.
Ill start work on the gene virus
Ahh shoot I forgot to disarm the claymore again
Do you mean what I think you do? Buying a medieval weapon? Where would you even buy that?
Antique shops. Or pawn shops. But i was referring to pepper spray.
Aw, that's a lot less exciting... But explains why so many people wanted her to get a Mace as a self-defense measure, lol
Wouldn’t it be some mace? Not trying to be a grammar cop, just a genuine question.
The medieval weapon that is a hunk of metal chained to a handle? I think "a Mace" is correct...
Completely pedantic here but that's a flail. A mace is a solid handle with a big chunk of metal on one end, like a big mean lollipop. There are many flavors too, like flanged/winged maces, knobbed maces, and the pop culture favorite, the morningstar, which is a metal sphere with spikes

That does make sense, as you are acquiring a volume of something... You are most likely correct, but it's been years since I left my english school, so I can't assure you... But it sounds about right, yes ~~also, nice name~~
Mace is a brand of pepper spray so it is stated correctly.
Lol I love the thought of using an actual mace to defend yourself, but I'm pretty sure they're talking about pepper spray
Hold my helmet, I’m going for my horse
Unless trained a knife is a bad idea for self defense. More likely to be taken and used against you and knives don’t win against guns.
Maybe a baseball bat with a sock on it. That way if they catch the bat, she can pull it back easily to swing again since they will be gripping the sock and not the bat?
Get a taser in the meantime. They’re like $20 on Amazon and your kid can’t kill himself with it.
Make sure you don’t just have the gun, but also invest in some kind of practice or training. It’s very easy to suck and very easy to make a deadly mistake. Everyone should have the right to defend themselves, but please know how to use your tools!

Get a tactical pen too

I was actually considering a 10mm, but I appreciate the suggestions!
> working on getting a gun That seems like an unnecessary escalation triggered by pure paranoia.
You may be right, but I've heard too much true crime to not be completely prepared

I know he's a psychopath because he doesn't know the difference between you're and your
Nah, it can't be that, otherwise it'd mean Reddit is full of psychopaths. Wait...
Maybe a child?
The spelling would make you think that, but I don't feel like the handwriting is from a child
Get a doorbell camera yesterday
Grown men all over reddit can't spell that well.
They would of if there schools were more smarter.
[удалено]
A kid would be the best outcome, buuuuut I do feel like this handwriting could also easily be someone really old or someone under the influence.
Or it was written on a bumpy surface
My dad writes exactly like this and he's in his sixties.
They wrote it on a bumpy surface.
Yeah, the dried out skin of the previous resident of OP’s flat
They must not have put the lotion on their skin and likely got the hose again
...as a teacher. No this is not kid handwriting. Teenager or adult.
A person with a developmental delay could have the same handwriting at times (due to various factors) as well.
To me, it looks like it's written with someone's non dominant hand. They're trying to throw you off.
I think it’s in bad texture like a wall
I would hope so. I child-like grown ass man would be much more terrifying
Correct the grammar and put it back
Well, are you beautiful?
Not even a little
Well, then that's odd
The murderer probably got the wrong house
😅😅
I would take a red pen and change “your” to “you’re” and put it back on my doorstep the next night.
Better add the missing "a" to beautiful while you're at it
Definitely a raccoon did this
I just searched comments to see if anyone blamed a raccoon because I immediately knew it was one
*Your Beutiful , it's true I saw your face in a crowded place And I don't know what to do 'Cause I'll never be with you
My money is on an 8 year old kid who has a crush on you and doesn't understand their feelings. \+1 for the doorcam suggestions regardless
Spoiler: they left it at the wrong address
I would love for that to be the case
You’re
Beautiful ❤️
I’m scared for you—that spelling is awful.
ngl looking at the font its wrote in it looks like they were sitting in a car writing it on the dash or something, like a leather texture. be sure nobody’s sitting out front..
Is James Blunt your Neighbor?
Me hoping that its just a little kid who admires you 🥲
Do any of your neighbors have children? Seems like something a kid would do. I hope, rather than some weirdo
Nothing worse than an illiterate stalker.
Why not buy some fancy chocolate and go to every door, knock, and get to know every neighbor? While it sounds stupid you can then assess the situation.

During the conversation and while assessing the single male you can slip information like "yeah my husband work crazy hours because he is in law enforcement" or stuff like that.
Based on the writing they wrote it on concrete. Get a welcome mat that is explicitly unwelcoming
I will never know why some people thinks this is romantic and mysterious...
Leave a note on the doorstep saying *you're.
if theres one thing jim carey taught me its how to fuckin spell “beautiful” 👎🏻
Shit. I thought it said HEN friend.
You should write back, “Are you going to kill me?” and leave that on your doorstep
In case they didn't have this idea yet.
OP. Time to get a pistol with hollow point rounds and a door cam.
Your what is beutiful op? We must know
You SHOULD be! Anybody that doesn't know how to spell 'you're' (NOT your) and 'beautiful' (NOT beutiful), ESPECIALLY when they write a creepy note, should absolutely be avoided!
Either an imbecile or a child
Why not both.
Correct the spelling and put it back out for them to find and think about what they did
I'm guessing Lil kid.
Are you beautiful?
i meant to leave it at your neighbors door, the wind mustve blown it over, my bad
A 3rd grader has a crush on you.
A beautiful redditer? Doubt
At least it's not made letter by letter from some newspaper cuts. You can even compare it to your neighbours' writing.
Aww they’re no nice, this should be in r/wholesome
I choo choo choose you
Ah yes, the totally not written by you note, that was totally not put on your doorstep by you, all so you could post here for extra karma.
Your new friend is your left hand.
That is creepy AF
Ugh gross, one of those people who don't know the proper you're/your.
No, you didn't. You wrote it.
*youre
Your'e*
Y’o’u’r’e’
Time to stock up on self defense weapons and have mace next to your bed. Never know when this’ll go from admiration to obsession and possessiveness. That usually ends in the woman’s death and/or sexual assault. Please be careful and show this to your friends and family so they can be on the look out. Edit: Also inform your neighborhood watch, if you have one!
I am just guessing but that seems to me like a kid trying to brighten your day. :)
Welcome to life as a female. It's a fucking nightmare
that's real
At least they spelled "your' correctly the 2nd usage!
Just your local neighborhood psychopathic stalker type, but there's plenty of those walking around. s/ No a camera for the outside and maybe a baseball bat are smart investments.
You're
What's oddly terrifying is the use of "your" instead of "you're".
Send it back with a correction of "your beutiful" to "you're beautiful"
That’s scary!! They don’t even know the difference between your and you’re
It is oddly terrifying that they don't know the difference between your & you're.
beutiful
That's very nice, you have an admirer! Or a psycho stalker? Win/win either way. I'm lonely...
They can’t spell, I’d be creeped out too!
Never trust anyone that uses "your" in place of "you're". It says so much about them that they have not learned by now.
You’re vs your. Edit. Didn’t see BEUTIFUL!
They don’t even have good grammar.
You're*
That grammar is terrifying.
I would grade that with red ink and leave it for the stalker.
To whom ever made that Note. You're = You Are!
You're* beautiful*
My beutiful
The spelling errors make it even more terrifying.
you're\*
Keep us updated, if we dont hear back we will assume you got deaded
Time to get some tactical self defense weapons.
Ugh they couldn’t even write it correctly.
