I don't know if you can, but if possible, make it a policy to not answer
calls with no caller i.d. or restricted numbers. People who restrict their
numbers should learn to expect that many people will not answer their calls,
if not for any reason other than the problem you're having.

I'm also not sure of this, but I believe you may file a report with the
police. They may obtain the caller's number since I believe it is against
the law to threaten or harass people on the phone. Anyone know more about
this?

Your local police department can be MOST helpful in this respects. Take
all the evidence you can, like your sellphone caller ID of this clown's
number and any other threatening evidence, including witnesses if you have
them, down to the POLICE DEPT and have a little talk with them about this
problem.

Police take this quite seriously as it's easier to do something NOW, than
it is when they have to investigate your murder...reducing department
loading....

If the police fail to act, you need an attorney to draw up a restraining
order the courts will force the police to enforce. You don't need the most
expensive lawyer in town to get this done as it's a pretty standard form
and it's not really expensive. If, once served with the court order which
is quite easy to obtain, he even has a simple contact with you, police must
enforce the order and can his sorry ass for disobeying it. If anything
untoward happens to you, they go STRAIGHT to his front door....and they let
him know it when they serve him the order.
