How Would You Handle a Mad Crapper?

A member writes: "Our shop, which is made up entirely of males, has someone in its midst that thinks it is funny to foul up the restrooms. This person has been clogging up the toilets with the toilet seat covers by stuffing handfuls of the seat covers down the toilet. On second shift on Friday someone had smeared you-know-what all over the back of the toilet seat. I have never seen anything like this in my entire HR career. Obviously, we can’t put cameras in the restroom. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do?"
