Is someone stealing my pool water?

[TripleThreat]

No joke, have a neighbor who put in an above ground pool. Twice now, over night, my pool loses 2ft of water.

A leak would make sense if it was happening frequently and often... This is just two random times.

The first time I noticed it I looked over and his pool was full. This time, I look over, and its somewhat empty (some water) as if maybe he used my water to clean his pool?? I am thinking ill be getting a camera set up today.

EDIT: Update 24+ hours later, nothing yet.... He might think I am onto him... I'll give it a few days, regardless the camera is up and running.

maybe he's selling the water to mexican water pirates

it's a much more valuable commodity down there

it doesn't make sense to run up his own water bill doing this, because it would raise government suspicion

Two ideas.

1. Fill your pool with human shit. This may take you awhile. But he'll never pump it out again after the first time.

2. Fill your pool with gasoline. Once he starts pumping, light it.

Sound legit. You should show your neighbor who's the boss by storming over there and sucking him off as hard as you can.

Such a Chiefsplanet thread.

But i think the same way as you, OP. Hell, if my gas tank seems lower than i remember i assume someone was syphoning.

I'd plan on purchasing one of these, and donning your snorkeling equipment; then just swim around in your pool all night until you catch the culprit.

Or, just get an aligator.
I'll leave that up to you as I'm not a pool expert. and that definitely seems like a 'pool person' decision.

I think this is a great opportunity for a joke of all time.

You need to have all of your friends at CP come over and pee in your pool....Then, the water thief will be floating in our pee.

You could also put some type of black light visible dye in your pool......then check his

so may choices to solve this mystery, Scoob.

depending on the size of hose the guy is using to steal your water....you might be able to toss in a Cassel jersey and see if that will get siphoned into his pool.

Waiting for the inevitable thread that gets started by "his neighbor."

Do you know if you have any feral dragons living in your neighborhood? That could explain the loss of water.

Or a pack of elephants.

Is the circus in town?

Somehow antifreeze needs to be in the inevitable solution.

[siberian khatru]

Do you have any thirsty bears in your neighborhood?

Security camera time.

Another possibility is that you have a volcano heating up directly beneath your pool, and it's periodically boiling the water off as it pulses in preparation of eruption.
