you have the burden of proof if you bring a 'private' prosecution. this is expensive. you can get a 'restraining order' if this is a 'dating' relationship. however, you will again have the burden of proof. we do have an excellent private investigator who can determine if prrof is available. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600

It would depend on what proo or evidence you have of who did that to your car, and if you have a reasonable fear/belief that something else will happen or that you are in danger. you get the restraining order at the local police station but then you have to go to the County court house to get a permanent restraint and the judge might find that there is not enough evidence to allow it.
