Pasadena’s Pee Bandit saga has finally come to an end … or so say the guys who believe they’ve fingered the offender responsible for leaving bottles of urine on a street for years.
Residents of Pasadena have noticed for the last 6 years that someone consistently leaves multiple bottles full of pee on top of a utility box on the side of one road … prompting local man Derek Milton and his pal Grant Yansura to try to figure out the who, the what — and most importantly — the why of it all.
Yansura tells ABC7 … “Stacks of them, you know, nine, 10, 11 bottles … All different colors, shades — from like an amber hue to more of a healthy, golden, lighter yellow. But some are really dark and concerning.”

Understandably curious about the whole display, Milton and Yansura decided to take to TikTok to solve the local mystery … though, they aren’t sure they love being known as the “pee guys” on social media.
Together, they set up hidden cameras … which they say captured footage of the suspected Pee Bandit. Specifically, the footage shows a man accessing the box from the 134 Freeway on the other side of a wall on the street.
Milton and Yansura’s theory is that the man considers himself “an artist” … mainly because the situation is so abstract they don’t understand it.
The city has tried to dissuade the wee marauder in the past … last month, a steel pyramid was installed on top of the utility box. Yet, the pyramid was ripped off within days … with many believing the urine outlaw is responsible for the damage.
The city attempted to thwart the Pee Bandit again, erecting a 2nd pyramid on top of the box …. but it was left so dented bottles could still rest upon it.
It’s been a while since the Pasadena Pee Bandit has struck the area, according to neighbors … so, perhaps the suspect has suspended his flow after all this time.
