It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me to set up a camera to watch the building, what makes this hard?
I’m worried that some child is vastly underestimating the damage they’re capable of, but I guess that’s still a better option than someone doing it on purpose.
Is it crazy to fingerprint the cans?
Cans don't have fingers

The trick is, it's a 23 story building. It would be super hard to capture anything actionable from 412 feet away.
That I can see, but surely it would be enough to narrow it down enough to get more focused footage. I’m not saying I’d be thrilled about it if I lived there, but I also wouldn’t be thrilled with a neighbor of mine raining cans down on my head
Exactly. At least determine which balcony or window it's coming from. It's crazy to think this has been happening for weeks.
