Shocking Ring camera footage leaves Alabama neighborhood on edge as naked man prowls properties
Families in a quiet Alabama suburb say they're living in fear after a naked man was caught creeping across their lawns in the dead of night - and it's all been caught on chilling Ring camera footage. Residents of the Tillman's Corner neighborhood in Mobile say the nude prowler has been spotted multiple nights in a row, wandering out of the woods and brazenly approaching homes - sometimes holding what appears to be a weapon. One startled woman told local FOX affiliate WALA that she was searching through security footage to find her missing cat when she made the disturbing discovery. She had been checking her security cameras in search of her cat when she was stunned to spot the completely naked man - wearing nothing but socks - strolling past her home. Moments later, the footage showed him wandering into her backyard and circling around the parked cars. But it wasn't just the man's lack of clothing that disturbed her. 'This guy had something in his hand,' she said. 'I don't know what it was. I don't know if it was a lawn mower blade or something like that.' She said the footage showed the man strolling directly into her backyard, just moments before her husband stepped out for work. 'My husband went out to get ready for work just 15 minutes after the video was taken,' she added. 'So I was a little concerned once I saw him in the backyard.' And she's not alone. Several neighbors say they've also seen the naked intruder. One local mother said the situation has left her deeply unsettled, fearing the emotional impact it could have on her children. 'It's scary,' the woman said. 'I have kids here so I'll be worried about them seeing that and having to explain it. So it's just a nightmare having them being traumatized like that, knowing 'well if I go outside, what if that man's out there?'' The repeated sightings have shaken the neighborhood, prompting several families to boost their home security. Some have installed surveillance cameras and motion-activated lights to deter the intruder, making sure every angle of their property is covered. While the man's identity and the object he's carrying remain unknown, residents say they won't feel safe until he's found. 'We received one call on June, 9, 2025, matching this description. Officers were unable to make contact with a subject and cleared the call to service another one,' the a representative from the Mobile Police Department said in a statement to

Hancock Park neighborhood repeatedly targeted by burglars
Residents in a Hancock Park neighborhood said they're being invaded by burglary crews that have been continually breaking into homes with no signs of stopping. Surveillance cameras captured the criminal crews at work as they repeatedly hit the same neighborhood near 3rd Street and La Brea. 'It's been happening for the past two months,' said a neighbor who did not wish to be identified out of safety concerns. 'We've been hit maybe 10, 11 times.' Residents said that oftentimes, the intruders break in when nobody is home. They quickly ransack the properties and escape with many valuables within minutes. Eric Jacoby, however, said he happened to be present when the thieves targeted his home on May 1 around 10:15 p.m. 'I was getting ready for bed when I heard a thump followed by another thump and then a smash,' he said. 'I open my bedroom door and a man was coming up the stairs and I realized very quickly he would get to my kids' room before he would get to me. So I screamed. I yelled, 'Get out! Get out! The police are on their way!'' Jacoby said his verbal warning was enough to scare the thieves away. He said the frightening encounter only further underscores the need for more community protection. 'There needs to be more police,' he said. 'There needs to be more police on the street.' Many neighbors have since banded together to protect each other and keep an eye out for any suspects lurking around, but they believe more needs to be done by local leaders and law enforcement. 'Through all the communicating that we're doing as neighbors, it doesn't seem like there's any clear strategy for keeping our neighborhood safe,' said Kate Cress, a resident. The neighborood, which is in a predominantly Jewish community, has now expanded their patrols through a special volunteer security force called Magen Am Shield of the Nation. 'We get licensed through extensive training and we carry firearms,' explained Salvador Litvak, a neighbor and security force member. 'We thought it was to protect our houses of worship, but now that crime is just so rampant in the neighborhood, we've extended our vigilance to that.' Many residents told KTLA they've since removed all valuables from their homes and are increasing security measures. Authorities said that if anything appears suspicious or out of place, residents should report the situation to their local law enforcement. Anyone with information or evidence in the Hancock Park burglaries is asked to call the Los Angeles Police Department at 1-877-527-3247. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
