Earlier this week, a 21-year-old Seattle woman called police to report a pee problem.
On February 2nd, the woman contacted police to complain about an ongoing dispute with a neighbor who, she believes, has been peeing on her car for months.
According to a police report, the woman told police that since July 2008, there has been an "ongoing pattern of harassment" and accuses her neighbor of "urinat[ing] from his apartment deck onto [her] vehicle," parked in an assigned spot outside of her Greenlake apartment building. Although the problem began last summer, the woman did not report the peeing problem to police until October.
In the past, the report says, "the smell of urine had permeated the [woman's] vehicle's vents and spread the distasteful smell throughout the vehicle interior." The woman also told police she is worried that the urine may damage her car's engine.
The police report says that following the October complaint, officers contacted the woman's neighbor—a 60-year-old man—who claimed the smell on the woman's vehicle "was likely run off from the fertilizer-fish oil mixture" he used to water the plants on his deck. The report notes that officers did not buy the man's story, but since there were no witnesses, there wasn't much they could do.
The woman's most recent call to police, the report says, comes after a six week dry spell, but the problem seems to be getting worse. This time, the report says, "the spotting and splatter marks [on the woman's car] are more severe than usual."
Police have again contacted the woman's 60-year-old neighbor about the peeing, but he has denied urinating on the woman's car.
