Found A Trail Camera Pointed In My Bathroom Window…

Self explanatory title, and throwaway account for reasons.

Today while I was in my shower, I noticed what looked like a trail camera pointed into my bathroom through the small window over the shower. I usually have pretty good situational awareness, so there’s no way it had been there more than a few days. I freaked out, called a friend to confirm that I wasn’t going crazy and that they saw what I saw, and then called the cops.

The detective said “yep, that’s a trail camera” and took it down and took it for evidence. He said it looked cellular enabled but it didn’t look like it was on, and that maybe the battery had died.

I feel so uncomfortable and unsafe in my own home now. Which is so crazy to me because this is such a safe neighborhood. I’ve already made a trip to the store to get frosted window film and got more security cameras for the outside of my home. I checked the cameras I already had, and of course this area of my yard is just out of view.

The icing on the cake? The tree it was attached to is in my fenced back yard…

If they find out who did it do I have any recourse? Can I sue? Restraining order? …Shoot, what are the odds the cops even find out who did it?
