Suggestions for Catching Ding Dong Ditch Teen

Use that UV stuff on the door bell that they use on fire alarms. They press the button, get it on their finger, fire up the black light, and voila, culprit.

In school, I remember being told that when you pulled the alarm that your fingers went into some crap that basically made an imprint of your fingerprints.
I still don't know for sure, but I never wanted to find out. ;D

Snopes says the dye on the fire alarms is an urban legend, but as usual they don't substantiate their claims.

I'm not sure how you think it's possible to prove that it never happened. Can you prove that it wasn't you who didn't put invisible ink on the fire alarms?
Edit: Fixed misplaced quote.

I think everyone is being too nice. Hook up the doorbell to some juice to get a good shock, then just follow the wet trail to the perp. :timebomb:

Urban legend or not, "invisible" ink that only shows up under a blacklight EXISTS, so it's a valid suggestion. Problem is, anyone else pressing the doorbell will also get ink.
Camera is the best option though. It's hard evidence.
