Sexually stimulated naked man terrorises apartment residents
A naked man has been terrorising a Los Angeles-area apartment complex, and police say there is little they can do, according to residents who caught the intruder on security cameras on multiple occasions.
The unknown man has been seen at least five times walking through the outside areas of an apartment complex on North Serrano Avenue in East Hollywood, neighbors who wished to remain anonymous told FOX11 Los Angeles.
“He’s running around naked,” the resident said, adding that families are concerned because there are children in the building.
Neighbors have since banded together, using surveillance cameras to catch the intruder in the act. One resident said the man was seen touching himself sexually while walking naked in the hallways.
Resident of an East Hollywood apartment complex captured video of the naked intruder wandering the halls.
Surveillance video shared with the outlet shows the man wandering without clothes on outside the dwellings. One clip appears to show the man breaking through the window of one apartment.
The intruder was also seen with clothes on appearing to enter an apartment through a window.
Residents said they do not know why the naked man breaks into the locked apartment complex and have made multiple complaints to the Los Angeles Police Department.
“What are the LAPD waiting for?” said a resident. “For someone to get attacked? For someone to get sexually assaulted?”
Residents said that the man appears to be looking for a tenant who was recently detained by police for threatening to blow up the complex.
Police, however, told the station that while the department is aware of the complaints, officers cannot arrest the man since no crime has been committed.
Residents said that the man appears to be looking for a tenant who was taken in for psychiatric evaluation after she allegedly threatened to blow up a building, KABC-TV reported.

Message in bottle floats from Canada to Ireland in 13 years
A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com

Woman earns world record for collection of 15,485 egg cups
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
