It’s good you have your apartment on the market. I can relate to your problem. My family and I had something similar but much worse happen to us in our apartment block.
If you are able to move, that’s best. Meanwhile, get a couple of WyzeCam 2 small and ridiculously cheap (and fun) CCTV cameras (only 20 bucks in USA, sadly about 100 here online). Easily researched. They are excellent! Have one trained from your windows looking out if that makes sense. We do that and we also have one at out front door; no OC permission but our neighbours who benefit from them are happy enough, what with parcel and food deliveries and tradies coming and going.
It’s good you have videos, keep at it; get used to walking round with your phone video turned on so you can press ‘record’ instantly. If your apartment is for sale and your stalker knows, his behaviour may ramp up.
Get your computer and phone checked for incursions. This may sound over-doing it and it may be. Our psychopathic ‘harasser’ was in the tech field though, and hacked us easily, we discovered.
In short, again, it may sound alarmist but leave nothing to chance.
Do your neighbours know? If not tell them.
There is a lot on government and police web sites about this sort of intimidating behaviour, if you haven’t seen it already.
You’re right, the police may not be able to do anything but if you edit a few clips together and take them to your local Police Station, jump up and down, be very polite but make a bit of fuss and have a copper watch the video, they may undertake to pay the stalker a visit. Certainly DO ask them for a numbered Incident Report as a record of your visit.
Finally, a solicitor may write a letter to this stalker for you putting your fears and feelings in writing.
