Put his number on Gumtree with an advert for a caravan or something for sale at a too cheap to miss price.
Audi A4 TDi for sale just needs front tyres for mOT £500 ono
Clearly the Police can't do anything until a tangible threat exists but obviously that's not much use to the OP.
The situation needs to be nipped in the bud so the best policy is to phone this guy up and find out the exact situation. Odds are even if this guy is a potential stalker that this would put a stop to it. If he doesn't provide a reasonable explanation you can then think about the next step.

We had similar a couple of years ago, some nutter started ringing my wife's mobile incessantly, we used to just answer it and put it down without talking, he soon got board.
A good start would be to just not respond, the sado will move on. Sadly of course this is only a solution for you and he will move on.

Obviously we have the number. I phoned to check and a guy answered. The question is what to do now. I can clearly tell him to f
k off and stop doing it, but I am away quite a lot, he knows were we live and I don't want to antagonise him any more and I am sure Yod*l don't exactly have a strict entry policy on their staff.
Open to PH.
Order something nice for the missus from a website that delivers with Yodel.k off and stop doing it, but I am away quite a lot, he knows were we live and I don't want to antagonise him any more and I am sure Yod*l don't exactly have a strict entry policy on their staff. Open to PH.
Order in your wife's name, and get it delivered when you'll be there.
You open the door.
Perve asks if you are 'Patricia' or whatever your wife's name is. You say yes. You ask if it was him calling you. He realises that he is fantasising about a bloke.
He never calls you again.
Hi all, no we haven't told him to stop it as I am concerned we give any further time to this idiot he might keep on going. The number is blocked now so I think my wife is not a jittery.
I personally just want to give him a taste of his own medicine but ensure nothing comes back to my wife. I am tempted to do it the other way and just keep ringing from a withheld number at silly times of the day. I get up at 5am, I doubt he wants a random call one day a week at that time.

So when you called him and he answered, what did you say??
There's a number for bt thats some sort of line test number thats basically permanently engaged, I'm sure its googleable, but I'd send a text to him and say please don't text me on this number, call me on xyz and we'll arrange something. Let him spend 10 hours a day calling it...

I'd put a call into The courier, some couriers do DBS checks on drivers so finding the drivers name and reporting him to the poilce may have very serious implications even if they just record it against him.
Some couriers systems actually prevent the driver from knowing the delivery persons addrss to prevent this from happening, not sure whether the OPs courier does. (as for how, they have a phone icon on the hand held which if they need to call they use and then the back office piece makes the call masking the number from the driver and the drivers number from the delivery point)

If the calls are from the delivery guy then his activity needs to be stopped by either the police or his employer. He holds a position of trust that allows him personal customer details and closer unchallenged access to private addresses. Are his employers likely to knowingly continue that level of risk to customers when they are presented with the text evidence? I think him being sacked is well on the cards.
