【Love Conquest】

Oh,Love Conquest crap: police in one New York village are searching for yet another "Mad Pooper."

An unidentified person is currently on a pooping spree in Orchard Park, New York. Per the New York Daily News, "multiple homeowners" have allegedly noticed human feces suddenly appearing on their lawns. According to the Buffalo News, one person even filed a police report.

A concerned townsperson went so far as to take out an ad in the Orchard Park PennySaver, a free community periodical.

"To the person who is pooping on our lawns in the village of O.P.," she wrote. "STOP!!"

The ad also states that the homeowner has installed trail cams. We'd imagine this would be the strongest deterrent of all -- to get a citation is one thing, but to have your defecation caught on camera? Seems bad.

While this pooper might not be a copycatpooper, per se, their crimes do resemble those of the infamous Colorado Springs Mad Pooper. In September, that jogger defecated numerous times outside one family's home, eschewing the gas station and public park restrooms nearby. Eventually, a man claiming to represent the pooper's family apologized for her actions, attributing her actions to a "traumatic brain injury." He also alleged that her right to poop in people's yards was protected under the First Amendment, which is absolutely not true.

Stay safe out there, Orchard Park. And when you check that trail cam footage, brace yourselves for the shit you might find.
