'I caught neighbour in heinous act outside my house and it's left me scarred'

'I caught neighbour in heinous act outside my house and it's left me scarred' A woman was left horrified after installing a security camera in her garden, only to find someone from the local area engaging in a disgusting act outside her home A neighbour was left feeling like they "may throw up" after spying someone from their neighbourhood doing something outrageous in their garden. Most people have a high tolerance when it comes to the people who live around them in their local area, as they tend to want to keep the peace for as long as possible. However, one resident reached the end of her tether when she caught someone on her new security camera doing something truly grim. Doorbell and security cameras are a fantastic way to give yourself peace of mind when you're not physically at the property. But they can also catch some things you'd rather not see. One woman fumed: "My new security camera caught someone using my yard as a toilet. We’ve had issues with vandalism due to signs we have in our yard. "We’ve had juvenile trees ripped to shreds, things ripped out of the ground, sunflowers plucked of petals… my spouse is opposed to monitoring, and it took three years to talk him into a camera." She explained that they had the security measures now "for a few weeks," and she noticed that someone had thrown Red Bull cans into their kids' play yard, so she went back and looked at the footage. "I didn’t see who threw it (although with timing, it’s likely the same person), but I do see a person walk up, look around and then pop a squat under our brand new, freshly planted cherry tree," she said. "It very much looks like they take their pants down, based on the motion. I went out and looked, fully expecting a big pile of s*** but the ground was wet." To add insult to injury, "after they finished peeing, they stood in front of [their] free little library reading books and dropping trash across the sidewalk". The woman fumed that the camera wasn't a deterrent for someone behaving in such a way, wondering what would stop people from behaving like this in the future. Someone in the comments recommended that they get "motion-activated sprinklers" to deter people from going on their land. "This is the solution to SO many issues. Can't go wrong!" another agreed. But the original poster pointed out a flaw, saying: "The issue is it’s right in front of our free little library. We get little kids visiting all day long. We stock kids' books." A Redditor responded: "Move the library. Besides, it's no longer sanitary to have it there!" Someone else wrote: "Just turn it on each night before you go to bed, and turn it on again when you get up. Or, put it on a timer." A social media user fumed: "Standing there reading books after peeing in your yard is such a bizarre level of confidence." However, one woman suggested the pettiest revenge they'd tried themselves, sharing: "When I caught somebody stealing flowers out of my yard, I took a still from the video, printed it, had it laminated, and taped it to my garage door."
