    Someone sent me a PM once telling me they were writing a book about poo.

    If this is true and the police were called, they probably wet themselves laughing.

    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker Hung up my suit!
    A few weeks after we had our extension built there was a really foul smell in the garage. It turned out that the builder(s)? had been using my watering can as a urinal and left their parting gift for us to find!
    Didn't call the police (or anyone else for that matter) we just disposed of it and bought a new watering can!
    For some reason this is not uncommon.

    Investigating- what -taking DNA and finger prints?

    What exactly is the crime?
    The Town Police Clauses Act 1847 is my usual go to for unusual crimes, but I don't see anything in there about depositing poo under the floorboards of customers.

    It is a pretty unpleasant thing to do though. I would probably be asking the main contractor to pay for a professional cleaner.

    Just think what else they will have done that you haven't found.

    To clean a hole under the floorboards? In most old houses under the floorboards is full of years of debris.

    It would take them all of 1 minute.

    Any smell would go very quickly- poo doesn't smell long term.

    Maybe when the crime scene officers arrive to investigate they will remove all remaining samples?
