Showered In Mystery
Crazed ex? Pissed off creditor? No one knows:
Posted: April 25th, 2008 | Filed under: Brooklyn, Dude, That's So Weird, Smells Fishy, Smells Not RightResidents of a block in Boerum Hill have known for months that rogue urinators were defiling their street, but they never had the proof to convince local police of a scatological conspiracy on Dean Street — until now.
A two-liter container of human urine, complete with syringes bobbing in the waste, was found Sunday morning between Bond and Nevins streets — and the repulsive find was finally enough to prove to cops that residents were being tormented by micturating hellions and not merely dogs with overactive bladders.
“It’s absolutely gross,” said Joseph Samulski, who had the misfortune of finding the container on his front steps. “I don’t even know how you could accumulate that much urine.”
But on the brighter side, “It was the first time we were able to establish what we’ve been saying on our block — that someone has been pouring urine on cars.”
. . .
The pissing match broke out on the day of the block party last September, when several people emerged from their homes near the Nevins Street end of the block to encounter an overpowering stench of liquid waste on the street and in one man’s pickup truck.
Since then, that pickup truck has been showered at least two other times.
“Thankfully, whenever it happened, my truck needed a good washing anyway,” said good sport Kevin McGowan.
