There's a peeping tom in our building!!!

[Jessika]

Unbelieveable! I can't believe he actually used a drill to make the holes.... knowing someone had to hear it. I would have put a security camera out there and got him when he squatted down to peek! As Mama use to say "There's more than one way to catch a rat!"

A security camera is a great idea. Or even just stick a webcam or something outside... or talk to the police about doing it so they might catch the guy in the act? Or perhaps he heard about a police officer poking their head around, he may be too scared to even do it again.

However, that is so creepy and... well if you can't feel safe in your own home... I can't imagine how you feel, I'm so sorry

Speaking of web cams you may want to nose around your apartment in case it is someone that works there. Check around like in planters, air vents, etc. It's scary where these creeps put these hidden cameras. I'm paranoid and always looking around in public restrooms.

Here's the news story i was thinking of. I watched it last year. "Are You Sure You're Alone?" http://abcnews.go.com/2020/LegalCent...2657455&page=1

I was looking for that and found this... http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=125746&page=1

All i can say is OMG, they allow upskirting in WA?!

I'm not even going to post some of the other links i just found. I was going to give examples of the things people can do... but i don't need to be an enabler to some sicko that finds this post. One part of me is awestruck and fascinated with the technology but it is sad on how some people choose to use it.

I'd cover the hole with a picture of an eyeball staring right back at him.

ROFLMAO!!!!

[Catty1]

Did you report your suspicion of Frank to the police? Or the building managers?

Did you find out if every hole had been drilled in an apt where only a female lived?

I hope they nail the idiot...

[moosmom]

Catty1,

I saw another hole in there that looked like it was drilled a long time ago and someone put a screw in it. The screw isn't holding anything up.

Everytime I hear any noise out in hallway, I go look. I have a feeling I'm not gonna get much sleep tonight. I think I'm gonna put on my iPod.

From what I can find out on Google, the 'voyeur' gets a thrill out of not being caught or noticed. The riskier the venture, the more thrilling for him (women can do this too, but it's usually a male).

Chances are if you ever came face to face with this person, they'd run...or chicken right out.

Obviously, they are cowards that prefer to hide. The one in your building anyway.

I wish there was some gizmo that would shoot vinegar out the hole and into the idiot's eye when he tries to peek in!

[Marigold2]

Oh I love the vinegar idea. Perhaps a bullet after that.

I would put a mirror over the hole - so he would only see himself!

Donna, take good care of yourself and I am glad you will be moving out of
there soon.

[zippy-kat]

Would it ease your mind any (and help you sleep) if you covered the back of your door in aluminum foil? Inexpensive, would keep the current holes from being looked thru, and you'd know if any new holes were drilled as there'd be puncture marks in the foil. (Or, if he didn't puncture them, all he'd see would be silver.)

[Randi]

What a creepy thing to happen!! It's amazing that more didn't hear the hole being drilled... of course, it could have been during working hours.

If you can't sleep anyway, I like the idea of being ready with a spray with winegar. A hairspray would also be quite amusing. Or, if you're not in a nasty mood, the eye staring back at him, and the mirror. LOL!

Stay safe!!

I was gonna say a picture of a naked man

or gun barrel.

Donna, maybe you could put some bells on the chair at the door that Mayor K suggested. Hmmmm. I guess the kitters would keep ya up all night, though, huh?

I know you're moving but it'd be great to devise a trap to catch the slimeball.

This reminds me (sorry..flashback)of the time, at work, lunches would disappear from the fridge. Paper bagged lunches, lunches in tupperwear, styrofoam..you name it. It got annoying. We caught the culprit when a few of us put Visine eye drops in the food and kept watch who made lots of urgent trips to the bathrooms. Long story short, for other reasons too, the guy was fired.

[moosmom]

Visine eyedrops?? I assume it's high in sodium which retains water, thus making you pee alot???

a few drops of Visine is a little trick that gives someone diarrhea

Boy the things you can learn here at PT!

Donna all I can say is that I am glad you are moving. That would definitely creep me out!
