Suggestions for Catching Ding Dong Ditch Teen
SteveJ34:
I have an elderly friend of the family that is fairly certain that the teen who lives next door to her is the guilty party that keeps calling at odd hours and also sneaking out to ring her door bell at odd hours.
She has spoken to the parents but they do not believe he is guilty.
I have been searching for a clever way to "catch the thief" or otherwise mark him in some way with some hard to detect method for marking the trail he leaves after ditching.
I know, we've probably all done it ourselves in our childish history but I would welcome any ideas for how to catch this 'ding dong ditch" sleep thief.

Find an old webcam and point it out the window at the porch. Make it really easy to see, that way you don't even have to plug it in to anything.

Caller ID?

Contact the phone company and ask to speak to them about nuisance calls. They can find who is calling. There may be hoops to jump through. In our neck of the woods we have to get the police involved and fill out a form authorizing the phone company to monitor calls and release that information to the police.

Trap door in the porch for the bell ringing.
