Think of it this way: Why would someone forewarn you that they would break into your house with a phone call, that only gets the victims well prepared for any possible break-ins, the intruder usually likes the element of surprise, so I don't think he would call, unless he is a very sadistic and twisted individual.. Nonetheless, better safe than sorry so I reccommend strengthening the security around the house.. not only for this crisis, but for any..

Moneeb, I have used the "Call Trace" service from Verizon here in Massachusetts. I don't know about California but I'm sure there would be a way to trace it. What I can tell you is that it's not a standard service (at least it was not in my case), you have to call the phone co, tell them what's going on and then they set up something for you - IT MIGHT NOT PRE-EXIST ON YOUR PHONE. I think it also costs you extra but it's worth it. You can check the verizon website for more details.

I have so many strong feelings about this but I'm going to get myself in trouble. Take action yourself, don't rely on ANYONE else to handle this for you. Probably just a prank but it never hurts to be prepared.
