“Do it for the bit,” as they are saying. However what if “the bit” is filling bottles with urine and surreptitiously putting them in an prosperous California city beneath the duvet of night time?
The California city of Pasadena has been mystified by simply that—a utility field that’s commonly topped with bottles of piss. The bottles appear to seem in the midst of the night time, a few instances every week, with urine filling the whole lot from soda bottles to take advantage of cartons and even gallon jugs.
The Metropolis of Pasadena tried thwarting the odd caper by affixing a metallic barrier across the high of the utility field, due to this fact blocking the position of stated piss-filled bottles. However the Piss Bandit, as they’re known as, doesn’t hand over simply: they tore off the barrier and continued delivering bottles crammed to the brim with piss. This has apparently been occurring for six years and no person is aware of why.
The New York Publish studies that neighbors don’t discover the bit terribly humorous. “I discovered it disgusting,” stated one. “By no means did I ever take into account it an artwork type in any approach form or type.” One other neighbor threatened the Piss Bandit. “If I catch you leaving your piss right here, I’ll make you drink each final drop!”
The story of the Piss Bandit went viral extra just lately after a duo on TikTok, Grant Yansura and Derek Milton, launched an investigation utilizing recreation cameras and faux development staff to try to catch the bandit and study their motives—was it artwork, a fetish, or one thing else altogether? Possibly the Piss Bandit isn’t dangerous in any respect, however merely is delivering the products to others who apply the artwork of Shivambu.
To search out out what’s occurring, Yansura and Milton began their investigation by surreptitiously putting in a recreation digicam in a bush beside the field, so they may get a take a look at the bandit once they arrived. What occurred subsequent shocked them—after reviewing the footage, they found the Piss Bandit positioned the bottles on the utility field not from the sidewalk however from over the wall behind it. All they noticed was the bandit’s arm thrust out from over the wall, putting down bottles like they have been confidently setting down chess items.
Alas, the Piss Bandit wouldn’t be caught so simply. Yansura and Milton wanted extra cameras, positioned contained in the tree on the opposite aspect of the wall.
After putting in the brand new cameras, they rapidly discovered their man: a person in his mid-30s or 40s sporting latex gloves with a flashlight. “This clearly appeared premeditated and really intentional,” Yansura says in one of many movies. “I believed getting a visible of the perpetrator would give me some closure, however in actuality it solely doubled my curiosity.”
Ultimately after testing a few of the urine and discovering it was real, clear piss, and making some assumptions about his clothes, they determined the perpetrator should be an artist of some type. And any self-proclaimed artist will certainly need to be interviewed, so that they positioned a big handwritten pad with questions and a sharpie on the website, hoping he’d write out responses explaining why he’s doing all of this.
That call backfired, because it alarmed the Piss Bandit, who found the digicam and stole it, leaving the query pad untouched. Much more alarmingly, the digicam, which is internet-connected and remotely sends again footage, days later pinged with an image of Sundown Cliffs in San Diego. The Piss Bandit was intelligent and calculated.
Ultimately, the Piss Bandit returned to the positioning and retaliated additional by dropping bigger bottles of piss and scrawling a demonic smiley face on one.
The duo put in a brand new, extra subtle safety digicam with dwell video that they may converse by, and caught the Piss Bandit… in a masks, as he pulled down the digicam. And that was the place the story ended. The duo didn’t really feel snug making an attempt to bodily strategy the Piss Bandit at night time out of worry of getting shot or stabbed, so it was over. They might by no means know the true motives of the Piss Bandit.
