Spurred on by Adam's use of CCTV I have installed my own cameras. Less
hi
tech, I have put several trail cams with PIR sensors and infra-red flash
around the garden and garage. Mostly I was interested in watching the
activity of the barn owl that lives in the garage and to keep an eye out
for people mistaking our drive for a public ROW (this happens a lot).

I was paging through 800 odd photos from this month and found that a man
visits my garden when I am not in or when I am asleep. He has been
clicked
several times either on days when both my wife and I are out or between
midnight and 1AM.

There's only one odd thing, he's stark naked except for a baseball cap.

I recognise his face (the rest of it was an unknown) he lives in the
area.
Polite word or posters nailed to telephone poles?

Sounds funny at first but then you wonder how he knows when you're both
not home which adds a rather sinister angle. Obviously he could assume
you're at work during normal hours but I doubt he'd be wandering naked
around your garden without knowing for sure that neither of you are
there. Is he watching you/your cars?

Would it be fair to assume that he's also visiting the gardens of other
people who might not be as relaxed or secure about it as you are, if they
knew? I'd consider reporting it, it may not be the first time he's come
to their attention and it sounds like he's either up to something else,
or soon will be.
Wandering around bollock naked in the dark is nice, but it is bound to be
misinterpreted if you do it in someone else's garden or in the middle of
suburbia.

Ergo this man is probably 'sick in da head, mon'.

I hate being a tell tale, but you might care to ask an expert in
pyschology, whether in fact this is merely the sign of a harmless fruit,
or whether in fact he is a possible danger to anyone.

After all cats dogs bats owls and foxes wander around at night naked, so
its not exactly unkown. It's just unusual to find humans doing it.

A psychologist might well predict that once the jollies of running around
other people's gardens naked (unseen - or so he thought) wears off, he might
start looking into windows or doing it when people are home and could glance
out of the window and see him, or doing it in more public places. I'd say he
wants to be seen, and is building up his confidence and his arousal by doing
it in the dark or at empty properties. For now. If he wanted to merely
stroll around naked and didn't need the thrill of being seen, he'd be doing
it in his own garden or in seculded woods somewhere.

As forensic psychologists would say, he may well be "progressing".
Gradually, the thrill of doing the same old thing subsides while his
confidence rises, and he'll have to start adding something to each "foray"
to get the same buzz, it's almost inevitable. It is often said that flashers
tend to be voyeuristic too. Both are (usually) non-consensual "fetishes".
