If you make a complaint to your local police department, they will forward it through the FBI to the local police in the miscreant's area and the local police will pay him a visit. This happened to me some months ago when a deranged ebayer reported me to the local police for allegedly threatening him. The FBI routed the report to the Burbank PD and I had a visit from a very amused cop, who told me that protocols put in place after 9/11 required the visit but that the local PD in the miscreant's jurisdiction told him that the guy was a nut. For someone who made written threats, the visit would be decidedly less pleasant.
