Abusive Relationships/in fear

Question
I broke up with my boyfriend about a month ago, and now he will not leave me alone. He has been borderline stalking me, calling me and emailing me. I went to the police after i found nails under my tires. They couldnt prove it was him though. The police told him to stop calling me. He called last week (left a message on my work phone) saying that he wants $1000 for all the dinners and money he spent on me. A few days after that phone call, 2 of my friends tires were slashed. Again we cannot prove that it was him. I went to the police again. They said it would be hard to get a restraining order since there have been no life threats. THey called him again telling him to leave me alone. I am more scared now that he is going to hurt one of my friends. I don't know what to do about this. I havent answered any of his calls or contacted him, I'm trying to ignore him. I am just scared that he will go the extra step and harm me or my friends. On his myspace his quote says "Just write me a check, thats all i want". So obviously this is directed towards me. What can i do????

Answer
since you've already told the police, there's not alot you can do, unless you know a couple of big guys that can pay him a visit and explain to him why it would make sense to stop; chances are, now that he knows he would be the ONLY suspect if anything happened, that he would wise up rather than go to jail...
