Logging with police re harrassment from an ex

Can you log harrassment with non emergency but ask police to not take any action at this stage? Hopefully I think he will leave me alone now but I want it logged in case there is a next time.
It's not physical threats or anything violent but I feel intimidated (things left on my car at work, presents for my parents put through their door etc..he only met them twice!) contacting me from other numbers as I'd blocked him, etc. I had asked many times to leave me alone, before blocking him. He wasn't a serious ex. Also he is actually with someone so I have no interest!
There are reasons why I don't want action taken now, but I do want it logged just in case... so if I report , would they take action regardless?

This is stalking OP. You’ve done the right thing.

@oldmanandtheangel sorry I have only just seen your question it was only about 6 months ago.

You have done the right thing in logging but because of the potential delay and you not being able to give his details, I'd also go in (if possible) or ring your local police station. Honestly, I know that sounds basic but I found they were so helpful in getting the right person to contact me very quickly.

You did the right thing.

Especially as you have already warned him that if he continued you would report as harassment, and he has continued.

Agree with ring doorbell and maybe get a security firm out to advise on other systems you could install at your place and your parents’.

Why are you so afraid of them contacting him? Wouldn’t it get the message across that his behaviour has to stop? What do you think he will do?
