“We have clear video footage of the incident. You have 48 hours to return and properly clean up the mess. If not, we will have no choice but to circulate photos from the footage to identify you. Please do the right thing.”
Other locals were shocked, saying it was bad enough for a dog to do its business on someone’s lawn or nature strip without it being cleaned up — never mind a human leaving their own mess.
“I’d be pretty pissed off to be honest with you,” one person said.
“It’s gonna rather embarrassing for whoever gets caught.”
It is not the first time a person has been caught doing their business in a public place.
In 2019, CCTV of a woman in activewear going to the toilet on side of a road in Paddington, Sydney, went viral online.
In this latest incident, the signposted deadline has long passed and whatever happened between the culprit and the resident is unclear.
It is an offence to urinate or defecate in a public place and those found doing so face a fine of $250.
Trespassing carries a higher penalty, with the penalty a $2500 fine or six months in jail if convicted.
