As a follow up if you are using Comcast for your home phone:
*57 will initiate a trace on the phone number, and tell you to call the police, however, the police do not seem to know about this feature.
*60 will allow you to screen (aka block) numbers, up to 12. The system is menu driven and easy to use.

fofd1091, I really like your idea, will try it the next time I/we get one of those calls.
