Police are on the lookout for a serial “porch pooper” who has been terrorizing one Louisville homeowner.
The mystery man, for some unknown reason, has chosen one particular home’s front porch to do his business multiple times over the past week.
It all began last Tuesday when the homeowner noticed something odd on his porch.
“Tuesday morning, I went out to my front porch and noticed what I thought was cat poop,” he told WAVE News.
It wasn’t a cat, as he found out when he viewed footage from his Nest doorbell camera. It was a man wearing a University of Louisville t-shirt, shorts, and a pair of socks with no shoes.
“Not only did he defecate, but he also urinated on our welcome mat,” the homeowner said.
Later Tuesday night, the man returned again to the front porch, but ran off before being confronted.
The same man also appeared on the homeowner’s front porch on Monday, peering into the home before running off.
On Thursday, he was back again. This time he slapped the front door and took off.
The homeowner has no idea why he was targeted by the “porch pooper.”
“We’re good neighbors,” he said. “We keep to ourselves, we behave ourselves. I can’t imagine anyone would want to do this kind of retribution.”
Then, over Labor Day weekend, the “porch pooper” struck two more times.
According to the homeowner, the vandal showed up around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday and again at around 3:30 a.m. the next day.
On the second trip to the home, the man was scared away by a sonic alarm the homeowner had set up, WDRB News reports.
“Old Louisville, man, you gonna see some, you see everything out here,” a neighbor told WDRB News. “I just happened to be outside, and a white guy walked up. He was looking around. He looked like he was going into the apartment. He looked at the window, looked out, and he started crapping.”
Because of the serial pooper, the homeowner has also ordered “no trespassing” warning tape and even put out cat litter on his porch.
“I’m relieved that he’s not violent or he’s not trying to force entry,” the homeowner said. “He’s just doing his deed, but it’s very disconcerting and disturbing.”
