A YOB almost got more than he bargained for after poking his private parts through a letterbox.

The man decided to go to the toilet through the letterbox of a house on the Craylands Estate at about 5.30am on Boxing Day.

However, he nearly got a nasty surprise when the owner’s Staffordshire Bull Terrier jumped up at the letterbox.

The owner, who did not want to be identified, said: “I fell asleep on the sofa that night.

“I heard a noise and thought the dog was urinating somewhere, but when I looked up, I saw the dog was sitting next to me.

“I looked through to the front door and it was such a shock. I was mortified.

“The man was lucky as my dog jumped up at the letterbox just as he closed it.”

The woman was concerned that had her dog have bitten him, it might have been put down, although she said it would have taught him a lesson.

The unsavoury incident happened on the same night up to 15 cars were vandalised on the estate, including her son’s car. She has not reported either incident to the police.
