A California woman discovered a prowler went for a naked swim in her backyard hot tub in the middle of the night after he tried multiple times to get into her house, all while she and her ten-year-old daughter were asleep inside.
Lydia Wolfe-Clark of Folsom said she was tipped off about the skinny-dipping intruder on the morning of September 27, after she noticed the cover on her hot tub had been moved overnight.
Concerned, Wolfe-Clark checked her Ring surveillance video and was astonished when she saw the prowler make several attempts to get into her home through a rear sliding door, while she and her 10-year-old daughter Makena were sleeping inside.

The unidentified intruder was caught on surveillance video prowling around Wolfe-Clark’s property for two hours, she says

And, after leaving the camera’s view, the man returns naked and soaking wet, convincing Wolfe-Clark he had even used her hot tub.
‘He was soaking wet and naked, and it was so disturbing,’ she told Fox40.
The prowler, who gave up on his attempts to get into the home and left without being detected, has not been identified.
He is suspected by police to have been drunk and confused Wolfe-Clarke’s home for his own. Video footage does show him at one point lying on his back, appearing like he is trying to regain his senses, and then getting up.
Police also said they probably wouldn’t charge the man because he didn’t enter her home, Wolfe-Clarke told CBS13.
The mom, who claims she has a gun at home for protection, estimated the man prowled around her property for two hours.

‘He was soaking wet and naked, and it was so disturbing,’ Wolfe-Clarke says, convinced the intruder had used her hot tub for as long as 30 minutes

‘Who knows what he would have done because if he’s feeling comfortable enough to get naked in the backyard, to jump into somebody else’s fence and climb over, there’s something, in my opinion, that’s seriously wrong. And I think that something else could have happened,’ Wolfe-Clark told FOX40.
She said she believes the man, who wore glasses, a light blue shirt, dark shorts and sneakers, had jumped her fence to gain access to her backyard. He left his glasses behind upon leaving, Wolfe-Clarke wrote on Facebook.
The mom, who lives in the home with her daughter, said police admitted that even if they were able to locate the intruder, they likely couldn’t charge him since he didn’t steal anything or cause harm to anyone.
The mother wasn’t taking any chances, she said, and was beefing up security at her home to protect her and her daughter.
She also made the video public on Facebook in the hopes that someone will know who the naked, skinny-dipper is.
‘I really, really am hoping that somebody will see this video and see who it is. And just to know that he’s not going to do that again to anybody else, that’s my biggest concern because the feeling is unsettling,’ Wolfe-Clark told FOX40.
Even if the intruder is not arrested, Wolfe-Clark says she hopes he is still identified and put on public display for his actions.
‘I think best case scenario, he’s identified and shamed,’ she told CBS13. ‘So shameful for what he did.’
