Karin's move went off without a hitch. el Jerko didn't show his face at all, he might have been hiding in his room but we don't know. I did keep an eye out for his car but didn't see it anywhere so he might not have even been home.
So, Karin is now safe and sound in her new place and her two cats were begining to explore it all when we left. I think Karin will have her internet up by next week (at home) so she will be checking in from work
Bless you.

Thank you, Instinct! I'm relieved to hear that Karin is safe and sound in her new place; I'm sure she's grateful for your help.

Instinct, please no clues about new location.

I'm glad it all went safe. I was concerned there might be problems with the actual move and have been keeping an eye on here for word. Thanks, Instinct

Not to be an alarmist but, please, caution Karin to watch for being followed from work. It is still a starting point that he knows and use to find her. Until she finds another position, she needs to take multiple paths home with occasional stops in public places where she can throw off any pursuit. (enter one door walk to another exit and circle back to her car). I'd make a change to the tags or any identifying items in the car. Take out or put in dash ornaments. Tag covers dirtied to make them harder to read can be employed. I'd find new places to shop as well.

God bless you, Instinct! And I am glad that you were so ready for combat; being ready beats being unready any time.
Funny, tho, isn't it? Her ex can be soooo threatening and intimidating and such a manipulative swine when he is alone with Karin (or in the company of the Mutual Waste of Plasma). However, add someone to the mix who is fearless and male, and the ex disappears like a bad dream. Amazing, no?
And again, thank God for you and for you being there!
You're our hero, Instinct. Many thanks for taking care of Karin. I know she's most appreciative.

Just a random thought -- should Karin go to the local police and inform them that her ex might start stalking her because of the whole greencard-divorce-threats-extortion-coercion-blackmail routine that the ex has performed? She might get someone assigned to her -- not a babysitter or a bodyguard, just someone who is aware that Karin is fearful for her safety and the ex is a nutter.
Actually, they couldn't do that. She could attempt to get a restraining order but that then requires court time and even then there isn't much the police could do about it unless they get him right there harassing her.
She could report it, and she does have a lawyer who knows everything so I think the proper steps will be taken
The best thing for anyone to do is be prepared and if you do feel like you are being stalked, do report it but then also take precautions and do what you need to so you will be safe - mace is always a good option, so is a stun gun (if you can get them in your area)
Long term solution would be a good self defense course, but that is a whole different subject on how to find a good one. If any of you would like to know what to look for just say so and I will give you my dissertation on "What Makes a Good Martial Arts School"
Instinct, you do good work Charlie Brown :P Thank you for being a good friend, and you are right on the advice about being prepared for anything. Really glad that she is safe and out of the physical situation.
Everyone has given good advice on things to do so that one is not an obvious target, again thanks for the tips.

Thank you, I am glad you did not have to employ the whack-bonk stick. Hopefully Karin, will exercise all caution, get a couple of whack-bonk sticks of her own and some pepper spray. One of the best ways she can keep safe is to get to know her new neighbors and make sure that the know to never just buzz anyone in for her.
