In 2015, police in Ohio were on the hunt for a man who was believed to have relieved himself as many as 100 times at various locations through one neighbourhood.

In 2017, a Colorado family was miffed at a jogger who defecated regularly on their front lawn for nearly two months.

And in 2018, people in a Toronto neighbourhood were on the hunt for a man who was publicly defecating early in the morning.
