Man living in fear of stalker

He says the obsessed woman follows him around, lurks near his home at night and steals his clothes from the washing line.

stalked him for two years.

He says the obsessed woman follows him around, lurks near his home at night and steals his clothes from the washing line.

Paint has been thrown on his walls and doors. And this week the headlights of his car were smashed and a tyre gashed with a weapon like an icepick.

"There's no telling when she's going to strike,'' he told The Royal Gazette .

"She wants something she can't have -- me. She wants me and she can't have me because I don't want her.'' Mr. Robinson, 40, lives with his girlfriend. He says he has never had a romance with the 41-year-old stalker.

He says he met her on the street while doing his job as a Hamilton Corporation roadsweeper, but was only a "close friend''.

"She caused me to move from my residence on Parsons Road. Since then I've moved to Smith's, but on Monday night she was up my house. She threw a whole bunch of loquats down in my yard.

"In the morning I parked my car down BAA field and I found she'd smashed both my headlights and a front tyre was flat.

"She wants to own me and control me. This is the worst thing she's done so far.'' Mr. Robinson says repairing the car will cost him more than $500.

"I'm tired. The Police say there's nothing they can do unless she admits she did it. They say I have to see her and catch her.

"Me and my girlfriend have a registered letter for her to stay away from my residence, but she still comes around.

"She hangs around two or three nights a week. It's frightening. You can't sleep, you can't put your clothes on the line. You can't lie down and watch TV like you want to. You can't even take a bath because you're on the run in and out. If I hear the dog bark once or twice I have to go to the yard because she unties the dog.'' The woman is a part-time housecleaner who lives in Devonshire, said Mr. Robinson.

He believes this is not the first time she has stalked a man. And he feels the problem could be a wider one in Bermuda.

"There's a man divorced from his wife for two years, and his wife is still stalking him. There should be a law against women stalking men.'' Police declined to comment.
