A man in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, UK., was arrested after his female neighbor noticed that he was spying on her while she was lying in her bed.
Andrew Stoodley, 56, used a mirror and a smartphone attached to a stick dangled from above to view the victim in her bedroom.
According to the Daily Mail article, the woman noticed something dangling down outside her window. It was a mirror, about the size of an A4 piece of paper.
It was being moved up and down like a yo yo for 20 minutes. She stayed under the duvet, the mirror went and a "lit up" mobile telephone was dangled down. She believed she was being recorded. It was hoisted out of view.
She got out of bed and hung coats outside her bedroom window. She looked up and saw him standing nearby with a mobile telephone in his hand. She moved out of sight.
Shortly after, Stoodley was arrested and in interview he said over a period of three years he had taken 100 pictures of her while sunbathing in the garden. Stoodley was give an 18 month conditional discharge and also a restraining order was placed against him for the same time period.
I had to assemble a "cell on a stick" for myself - much to the dismay of my girlfriend - it works pretty good!
