“Our neighbourhood’s just sick of it,” he told KHQ News this week.

After a Valentine’s gift from his mother was stolen, Havonec decided to do something about it.

Havonec designed a special package to leave as bait and his video surveillance caught a thief running away with it.

“I rigged it so inside the package was soupy, messy dog poo. I rigged the package so they could only open it one way and when they do it’s going to rip open the bag and going to go everywhere,” Havonec said.
