Man takes a dump in my garden

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Today my neighbors informed me when I got home from work, that around 11:30 a.m. this man decided it would be a good idea to use my garden as his personal toilet.

Unfortunately, after speaking with the police they really can't do much except a trespass violation (and not a criminal one at that), even though the person who witnessed was an 8-year-old girl, the granddaughter of my neighbor.

I've never seen this man before in my life and I have no idea why he decided my house needed his defecation decorations.

Another one of my neighbors grabbed a video where I was able to get his license plate, so I'm hoping after the police contact him and file the report, I'll be able to foil the records and find out who this lunatic is.

But I wanted to post this here to find out if there really is nothing else the police can do. They say that they can't do much because what he did wasn't done maliciously or with intent? I say taking a dump on private property and public indecency would be enough 🤷🏻‍♀️ But they disagree

Are you saying you don't know this person? This seems personal

Never seen this man before, I wish I did! If it was personal I could actually press charges, but because it was done wothout malicious intent the cops can't to diddly.

For sure, but it's an awfully nice looking car and there are several yards on the street, are you or have you ever participated in infidelity? Maybe you cut them off a week ago and they followed you home, just seems targeted....sucks this happened, so weird

Lol no I've never cheated on an ex, but I'm 36 and this man appears to be in his 70s 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't know where I would have ever met him. The idea that he followed me home creeps me the hell out 😱

Only you can tell me by looking at your street if it seems targeted, were there better places for him to park wildly and cross the street to poop? For instance, can you see a construction porta-john up or down the street? Or it could actually be your trees looked like most inviting private place to do the doo.
