DP is a camera geek. On the weekend he bought a camera trap for catching wildlife in the garden. He wanted to test it out so set it up by the front door so he could test it by the kids going in and out. It's been there since Sunday.
So this evening he had a look at the footage with DD(5). There's us, there's the cat, there's the postman. Oh look, there's the postman having a piss against our garden wall 
.
Our door is round the side of the house, so out of sight from the road. There's the door, the path next to the house, a small patch of grass and the neighbours wall. He literally posted a letter, turned round, knob out, pissed all over the grass and wall. Knob away, off to post more letters, obviously without washing his hands. 
It was done so casually it's hard to believe he's not done it before. On the plus side, he posted our letters first so that won't be covered in piss 
. But seriously, who would do that?!
Thing is, we're in a village where everyone knows each other, and he's been the postie for years. But IANBU to report him and potentially get him sacked am I?! I have a slight pricking of my conscience if he did lose his job, but surely that's his problem, not mine?!
AIBU?
To potentially get our postman fired

It was on the lawn, yes. And yes, am well aware of what the wildlife do. But they are animals, I expect a grown man to have more self control 
.
I wouldn't report to the police necessarily, more Royal Mail. Like I said, if it's not that bad they won't sack him, will they? 
Quite surprised at the number of posters who think it's OK to take a slash in someone else's garden .
I'd report like a shot but then again I'm not in a village and our postie uses a van where presumably he could keep and use a portable pisspot should the need arise.
I think he needs to know you know and will take it further if necessary. That should be enough to keep him buttoned up
Tbh I would watch the camera to see of he makes a habit of it. If he's pissing in your garden every day, tell him to stop. If it was a once off, then is really that terrible? (No)
YABU.for even considering reporting it to the police
