Urine Trouble

Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 5:00 PM

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.

It could be her assigned spot below their decks; if not, it's idiotic to keep parking there. Either way, piss on his apartment door, just to cover all your bases.

If your pee-shy, just glue a poster sized note to his door saying "please stop urinating off your balcony onto my car". The neighbors will find it hilarious, and - bonus - never ask you for rides.

Maybe she should set up a camera and catch him in the act... A public urination/harassment charge would be funny to have on his record...

Not a chance, @10. Tomcat piss smells nothing whatsoever like peoplepiss, it's more like cold nuclear death.

If some jackass were pissing off his balcony on my car, I'd be paying homeless men to jack off on his doorknob, and then I'd casually mention that I was trying a new fertilizer, hope none hit your door.

Just because the cops can't arrest him doesn't mean she can't sue him.

Christ. Do these two live in the same building? Instead of wasting more time on complaints to the police that accomplish nothing, why doesn't she just demand that the building manager switch their assigned parking spaces? Let the nasty old bastard piss on his own car.

If it WAS runoff from his plants, wouldn't that still be his fault for damaging her car?
