A man in Akron, Ohio, has apparently pooped on and inside 19 parked cars in the past three years.
Police told Cleveland.com that the suspect was photographed defecating on a car hood on Tuesday morning, and they are working to identify the man in the photo. His other incidents have included smearing feces on door handles as well as leaving excrement in the passenger seats of vehicles that were left unlocked. Some unlucky Ohio residents have even had their cars marked multiple times.
One of the police reports, filed in 2012, says that "the excrement did not cause any damage to the car, but it did cause a big mess."
