A Tinley Park woman found feces and a cigarette butt at her front door, police said.

The woman called the cops but took off before they got to her Jean Lane apartment. The woman's daughter was still there and she reportedly told an officer her friends left the apartment about one that morning. The "hallway was clear" at that time, police said. But about 10 hours later, the girl "opened the front door and noticed a pile of feces in front of her doorway," police said. "A cigarette butt was also in front of the door. (She) did not know the origin of the cigarette butt."

The daughter reportedly told police "she does not know of anyone in the building who would have defecated in front of their apartment." "She does not know of any feuds going on in the apartment building, but did mention there is an older man in the apartment below theirs … who sometimes yells at people in their building," police said.

The officer was unsure if the "feces are of human or animal origin," according to a police report. "Residents did not know of any dogs living in the building, only cats," police said. "The feces were spread in a manner which makes the defecation appear intentional."

An officer's interviews with residents shed little light on how the feces ended up at the front door. One 78-year-old woman said she "believes other tenants dislike her and her son because they 'are American,'" according to police.

The woman recalled finding a cigarette butt on the morning in question, and since she "believed it came from the unit above" decided to go "up the stairs and put the cigarette butt in front of the door" where the feces was found. The woman claimed the "pile of feces" was already there when she dropped the cigarette on the floor.
