Roberto Daniel Arroyo, 33, was filmed leaning his head against the front door intercom and licking the doorbell from different angles for three hours.

The disturbed couple living at the property in Salinas, California, called police, who quickly identified the man from the footage.

Arroyo, who was also filmed urinating in the family’s garden, has been charged with prowling, theft and breaching probation, KION 5/46 News reports.

Sylvia Dungan, who lives in the property with her husband and kids, said: “You kind of laugh about it afterwards because technically he didn’t do anything.”
