Early Morning Harassment from Neighbor Alain Goodman -- Loken Builders Employee?

The police department is so far taking the official position that private communication with our neighbors about their harassment of us somehow amounts to harassment of them. At this point it makes sense to publicly document the harassment and identify the individuals clearly to protect ourselves -- since the police department isn't in the mood.

My mother just walked in the door looking terrified. I asked her what happened.

She was returning from getting morning pastry on foot. As she crossed the alley, she noticed that a vehicle was pulling out from in front of the Goodmans and looked intently at the license plate to see if it was local. She kept walking toward our gate and looked at the teal green truck as it drove by. She noticed that the sign on the side read "Loken Builders." Before she could even register that a Loken Builders truck had once again been parked at the neighbors', as she did a double take, the driver slammed on the breaks and backed the truck up about 20 feet so that it was beside her. She then saw that he was our neighbor, Alain Goodman.

He yelled a series of things, but all that she could make out among them was "You got a problem with me?"

She didn't. She was minding her own business, carrying croissants. She said nothing.

His demeanor and expression were quite menacing and it seemed as though he was going to jump out after her and so she hurried inside the gate. He sped off. She walked inside, looking terrified.

We left a message for Sergeant Richardson. It will be interesting to see if/how he tries to make this Mom's fault somehow. I also sent an email to Department and County employees, asking how we officially report these incidents, and emphasizing how important it is for them to send a message that it is unacceptable to engage in harassment or intimidation.

So, does Mr. Goodman work for Loken -- the man who bilked materials, committed what most would interpret as fraud, and seemingly engaged in a variety of strategies to devalue or foreclose on my mother's home? That would explain a lot. Including the drug entrapment attempts that the Goodmans seemed so intimately involved in.

Ironically, if he hadn't flown into a rage and backed up, Mom would not have known he was driving the company truck.
