What game is my ex playing now?

[Aquarelles]

Hi all,

I've posted before about my exP and how he would set up cameras in and around the house, in the garden, and even put a tracker on my car to monitor where I was going.

I left him and we sold the house 4 months ago.

Unfortunately I still need to see him as we have a DS who we share custody of, but everything has been cordial and we've been getting on OK.

Anyway I got a new car yesterday and drove through to where ex lives to pick up DS. Ex was asking the usual nosey questions "and how much did that cost you?". I turned my back to put my bag in the car and when I turned back around I caught ex taking a photo of my reg plate.

I was going to confront him, but I know he'll just deny it. He pretended he was just checking the time and quickly put his phone back in his pocket.

Can anyone think what he could possibly want my reg plate for? What benefit would he get from knowing this information?

Probably to look at past MOTs so he knows something you don't

He's probably going to look up how much it's worth.

Could be that. He could just look up the make and model though, why does he need to remember the reg plate?

I know I probably sound OTT and paranoid but unfortunately years of being secretly watched and interrogated will do that to you

Does he know where you live now? Could he be trying to get your address?

Yeah he's going to look up the mot History, which when you type in a registration, gives the more specific model of the car... Which he can then Google and see what it's worth.

I remember you

Didnt you talk to the police at the time it was happening? Maybe go speak to them again and perhaps ask them why and if they think its weird they can add it to their record they have on him. It all adds up.

He knows where I live. He made a point of "just popping in" on my move-in date

No, I didn't go to the police. I wanted to. I had enough evidence to do so, but I just thought end the relationship, sell the house as quickly as possible then I'll be free of him!

Hopefully he is just bothered with his nose and wanting to see how much the car was. I don't care if he knows that.

I was wondering if there was some weird and wonderful way he could use my reg to track the car again. I never did find the tracker he had on my old car. I'm convinced he had one though because he was able to follow me even when my phone was off.

Mine did a "popping by" one day at about 5:30pm. I was out at an all day event, picked up by a friend, DC with my parents, so my car was on the driveway. Cue: hysterical phone calls to the DC school to ask where DC was, were they OK etc. Please note: no call or text message to me at all. School call me ad nauseam most of the evening (my phone was switched off at certain times so they didnt get hold of me). Now it was a controlling maneouvre - my DC were on a school minibus dropping off at certain point to be collected by a pre-arranged individual, if not parent. School had record as to who was collecting from minibus; and all they had to do was to contact the minibus driver and ask! I lambasted the school - if their understanding of safeguarding, divorced parents, pre-arrangements, etc was so poor how could I trust them with proper safeguarding. And funnily enough just a few years on - major issues.

But watch the dropping by. My ex tried to use it to bad-mouth me to school.

My guess would be that he plans to have someone else put a tracker on your car. Reg plate will make sure they get the right one.
