I certainly hope not! That's one job I wouldn't want to do. Perhaps that's the reason the officer didn't want to take the undies -- he feared he'd be sent through the town seeking the owner. Slippers I could handle.

Put a sign on your hot tub, "Caution- bacteria culture in progress. Enter at your own risk. Irreversible skin damage likely".

But realistically, I agree with the camera idea.

I think I would do that!! lol But then again setting a camera up would be hilarious too! :)

We've had trespassers on two occasions, both when we lived in the (not quite) suburbs further up north -

On one occasion my parents woke up to find a couple of teenage guys sitting on the trampoline in the backyard. My parents went out to talk to them, they left, and were reportedly very nice about it. I had gone out later that day to push mow under the trampoline and found a handful of quarters scattered around by the trampoline, I think left on purpose.

On the other occasion my we had gone out to take a swim and my sister had found that somebody had taken a sh** in her goggles. My parents called the sheriff, he came over. The sheriff had returned in a day or two, turns out it was the neighbor girl that my sister and I went to school with (whom we were very nice to, maybe a little bit too nice to). The sheriff talked to that neighbor girl, left, and that was it. That neighbor did not step within twenty feet of the property the rest of the time that we were there.

I would agree with getting a security camera. If you can't catch whoever it is by yourself, maybe turn to trying to scare whoever it is off (like Thistle's idea).

Maybe you can leave some kind of dilute acid in the hot tub that will burn the trespassers skin without making it melt off - like pepper spray almost?

Ouch! What if granddad stops by unexpectedly when you're gone and decides to relax for a while. . .

Catch, photograph, or scare off, but making a hazard would be putting yourself at risk of lawsuits.
