“I’m not alone and I’m glad I’m not alone, that’s what I think when I see that,” said Cindy Sidener. “I fear for my friends who live alone.”

Police said some members of the community were able to identify the man in the video and were following and harassing him. They said self-defense can hinder an investigation and it is a difficult case that takes time and persistence to get an arrest warrant.

In the meantime, it is a crime that many residents want to see quickly taken care of.

“I’m glad I have a big dog with a strong voice,” Sidener said. “The safest place you’re supposed to be is your home. “
