Spy games have concluded

It only took five days for the perpetrator of trash chute laziness to strike again, and this time we were ready. Little did she know that some of her completely awesome neighbors were video taping the trash chute doorway, just waiting for her to drop a proverbial deuce on our societal niceties.

As you can see, it’s kind of hard to see the person actually doing the dirty deed (done dirt cheap?). It just so happened that she dropped off the trash around dusk, which is the worst time for filming in terms of lighting. But thankfully she made yet another error in her trash habits – she threw away a bunch of freaking mail without shredding it! I mean, come on! If you’re going to leave your trash in a hallway, at least make it somewhat difficult for us to find out who it is. We would have had a much harder time finding out just from the video, as we’d have to keep an eye out for the chick and then watch where she goes. A little creepy I’ll admit, but I think we already crossed that line when we decided to put a camera up. One thing was for sure: we were damned determined to figure out who this zero was, no matter what the cost.

You may be wondering, now what? Well for starters, we took her trash, put a bunch of stinky food in it, and put it back on her doorstep. And then we threw in some of our trash for good measure. No, I didn’t drop a literal deuce on her doorstep as I previously said I would. Honestly, I just haven’t had to go yet. Maybe it’s going overboard though. Or maybe it’s just awesome enough that it needs to be done…I haven’t quite decided yet. But mark my words: If I see another pile of trash outside the chute, I can guarantee you it will be done.

In the mean time, she’ll be taking out our trash for awhile.

We’ve got a serious problem at my apartment complex: some asshole keeps leaving trash in the hallway right outside the freaking trash chute. Now, I realize this isn’t causing me any personal harm, besides maybe the smelly trash being about 10 feet from my door. But come on, it’s freaking lame.

As George would say,

So Dhevan and I are determined to find out who this assclown is. As luck would have it, Dhevan happens to have some small video cameras that were used in his family’s bar. And I just happen to have a computer capable of recording about 1 week of video from said cameras. Once we realized this, our next course of action seemed obvious: let’s catch this bitch in the act, on camera. Once we find out who it is, we’ll find out where they live, and then dump a bunch of trash outside their door. Actually I plan on shitting in a bag and leaving it, because that just seems to be much more extreme. And I’m an extreme dude.

The first problem we encountered was how to hide the camera. We toyed with the idea of mounting it behind an “Exit” sign by the chute, but getting power to the camera would be pretty tough there. So we decided to keep it simple: we’ll keep the camera close to our door (which has line of sight with the chute), and simply put it inside a box that looks like a delivered package.

We started recoding last night, and so far no new trash. But it’ll come eventually…and then justice will be served. With a side order of trash and shit at your door.
