It was mid morning on Sept. 7 ,1994 that we showed up near the required time at the Local Magistrate's office. Our neighbor and his son and his wife had arrived before us. We felt it was prudent to wait outside while they sat in the lobby. While we were outside, Officer Williams came out to talk. He wasn't in a friendly mood. While we were all outside, a sports car pulled up and a man got out. Williams asked if we knew who it was and we said no. He commenced to identity him as Philip Lauer. Williams had this demeanor like we were supposed to be quivering. Anyway, WIlliams had gone inside. He had come out and stated that a plea to Harassment was being proposed. we discussed it and decided against it. There was something to the ritual of a hearing that would document the history of us being abused and something Karmic about crossing the bridge to sanity based on establishing boundaries. We went inside and sat across the lobby opposing our neighbor and his entourage. What was interesting is that Lenny's daughter-and-law asked him " how was your small aircraft ride". She asked in a tone to bring our attention to the question. It spooked us a bit since recently there was a small aircraft sort of barn storming our house and property. This could have been him.
We felt terrible about Anna. She was caught in the cross fire of Lenny's mission. We just wanted Peaceful ,Quiet, Enjoyment. I believe that our neighbor was involved in the phone threat she received. Enough was enough. Our compassion for him was interpreted as a weakness. We kept records of the harassment. The Police apparently had talked to him and he denied any involvement. I called the Police and said we had it with his behavior. I believe they were playing a game, they didn't want to get involved. They stalled and I told the dispatcher that if someone didn't come to our home within a reasonable amount of time, I was going to call the State Police. There is an opinion that the State Police are objective in enforcing the Law. Many believe that the Lower Saucon Township Police are subjective in their enforcement of the law. When we called them to report an event years earlier , when our security light was shot out, they stopped at our neighbor's home first, the patrolman then came to our house and said he wasn't home. As we were standing on the drive with the Patrolman, our neighbor squeals out of his drive and goes off. So it wasn't a surprise that the Police were stalling.
