I would call the company pretending to be some kind of manager or house cleaning service owner and ask nicely for what workers were on the site that day. Maybe say they did a good deed and the person wants to make out a card and send a gift certificate. Cops wont do shit. Unless your attractive. Then you still have a bunch of above the law creeps with your digits and address. |

Maybe creepy used it as a profile pic or something. |

Quoting: ~Blue Spirit~ I was looking around the room to see where it was coming from... I couldn't pinpoint the source of the noise... 10 minutes later, I heard it again with a tapping noise.... I finally pinpointed where the sounds were coming from.... The strange noises were coming from an air vent, just under a large set of drawers a few inches from my floor and then I spotted it..... I saw what looked like a thin black wire moving through and poking out of my air vent.... I pulled on the wire wondering wtf it was.... I saw at the end of the wire, what looked like a camera at the end of it.... As soon as I tugged on the wire to look at the end of it, it suddenly got yanked back from my air vent..... Wtf!?.... Is this someone playing a horrible prank on me with the wired camera or?!.... I'm so spooked, to say the least.... First time I've experienced this here and I'm thinking about boarding that air vent up now..... ... Have you checked your windows at night? https://imgur.com/a/S5w9cyr |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84801325 United States 01/16/2023 08:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've tried a search in the images to find which lead it resembles what I found but I can't find anything atm that looks like it.... Quoting: ~Blue Spirit~ It was just a thin black wire with what looked like a slightly thicker bit on the end of it with little circles around the end of the wire.... Resembling a camera to me.... Coax cable Most likely.. No one is trying to catch a peek at a paranoid old cat lady. |

User ID: 79159550 United States 01/16/2023 08:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ask yourself, how often are wires with tiny cameras poking out of air vents? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84240989 Of course it was someone spying on you! Move. I'm seriously thinking of moving now actually after that ordeal.... I think it could have been one of the neighbours... Well, it could only be... I live in an apartment so.... Neighbours both sides to me.... So spooked out though.... I've covered the vent for now... there are different reasons they could be doing this either you are very attractive, and they want to look at you, probably hoping to see you naked or they want to financially exploit you somehow i completely believe you, by the way. there is the option of filing a police report. one of the things filing a police report would do is that it would document things so that if you move and someone else moves in, if they experience that, then there's some record of this the only downside is if someone is trying to gaslight you, the police may say there's no proof and it makes you look bad. that's probably unlikely. if you live in an apartment, it is unlikely someone wants to financially exploit you as for whether you should move, it's a difficult decision, but if you can afford to move, if it's not the end of the world to move, yes, move. moving is stressful, but you don't know who this person is or how this will evolve. if you have a computer near the air vent or anything like that, change all your passwords. it's also possible they have done this before and this is just the first time you noticed, so it's hard to know. it also may be that you share a vent with a particular neighbor and it must be a particular person, and the police and landlord would know. the risk of bringing the police into this is sometimes, if someone is really into you and lacks any normal senses of decency and isn't afraid to break the law, because what they did is risky, you may have a situation where bringing the police in will get this person more upset. it may be easier to move away. if you don't contact the police immediately, it will be hard for them to collect evidence. so if you want to get the police involved, do it now. it is also possible that this was an inspection of a vent by some sort of technical engineer person at the request of the building. it's not impossible, but it's very unlikely. if they are going to do that, wouldn't they tell you? good luck, this is an awful situation. you also may just be dealing with an incel pervert type who is not going to try to talk to you or do anything where he has direct contact with you. if you don't file a report, at least tell trusted friends so there is some evidence this happened in case it gets worse or there are other problems. think about it this way: maybe you'll move, and you'll move to a new fun area, and meet a nice guy instead of having to have some horrible neighbor https://imgur.com/a/2bmRYEl |

Is it a central air handler? Attic space? crawl space? You need to figure out where the other end of the duct starts & look there 1st Last Edited by Coldkidc on 01/16/2023 09:21 PM Coldkidc |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85186947 Some people can't tell the difference between a wire and a tail. LOL... Definitely not a tail.... I held it in my hand to take a look at it before it was yanked out of my hand quicker than a flash.... It was a black wire/lead with a camera on it...

(OP) Observing... User ID: 85079053 02/02/2023 03:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I reported it... I stated in an above comment :-).... It wasn't the work men, according to them when I asked and it wasn't anything to do with my Landlord/Agency.... It got sorted.... Hopefully that will be the end of it, but still creepy. Yep... Very creepy.... It will be the end of it now though because I'm in the process of having all of my air vent covers changed from those grille ones and I'm installing like, a mesh material behind the vents (so nothing can poke through that) and I've just bought those shutter type covers for the outside of the vents.... I can choose when to open them.... So, with those, along with the mesh behind them, nothing will be getting through there like that again...other than air.... ... ~Blue Spirit~ |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 86246890 Canada 09/05/2023 12:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Probably they were inspecting the vent for lint and blockages. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57854626 Camera gets stuck and guy is tugging, trying to get it back. Then you come along and start trying to pull out his tool and his valuable equipment, so he snatches it back. Kind of funny. They are supposed to advise you of work being done on the premises and the type of work prior to it occurring. |

User ID: 85970814 United States 09/05/2023 12:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do a web search for Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57854626 Dryer vent camera inspection Then check out the images results. So, next door is having their dryer vents inspected and somehow the camera wire happens to wind up in my bedroom vent?... It could be that, I have no idea.... I'm hoping it was just something silly like that actually.... And nothing more nefarious.... Either way, I've covered the vent now.... The solution to any and all wires protruding from vent s is a SNIP with a high quality 45% Diagonal nippers. I would also immobilize both ends of the wire before the snip. Call your local police department for further instructions. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 86269051 South Africa 09/05/2023 12:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wouldn't hurt to find out if anyone is working on the air conditioning. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57854626 If there isn't, there is a real problem. There are some builders next door doing some renovating work on the apartment there so it could be related to them... I'll ask them when I see one of them come out of the apartment later..... Those aren't builders, they are feds. You have serious problems. |
