A Midvale business owner says she was "gobsmacked" by security footage showing a man dressed in women's clothing committing a lewd act, then defecating, wiping his backside and tossing toilet paper away in a car park.
Footage of the incident - posted on the Perth Have A Whinge Facebook page - shows the man, who appears to be wearing a bra and high heels, climbing into a white utility before he strips off and apparently starts pleasuring himself.

Security footage captures lewd act
Footage has been posted on social media of a man in women's underwear performing a lewd act in front of a WA hairdressing salon.
The events transpired outside the WA Salon Supplies business and security cameras were triggered when the man drove around the back of a Caltex service station.
Footage viewed by WAtoday shows the bespectacled man seeming to defecate, then reach for the toilet paper - a used portion of which he then casually tosses away.

WA Salon Supplies owner Natasha Newton said she originally went through the footage after someone tried to break into the business.
She has since reported the hour-long incident to police, suspecting the person caught on the surveillance video might be connected to a series of break-ins at the premises.
"I saw a chair out the front and our front door was damaged so I thought I'd go through the footage," she told WAtoday.
"I was gobsmacked – I couldn't believe what I was watching.
"I rang my husband straight away and I thought it would be something funny for the boys to watch".
She was told by police the man probably deliberately triggered the cameras so he could be "caught on camera".
"You have to wonder if he picked this place because I train students," she said.
"If someone pulls up in a white ute asking for a haircut, I won't be letting the girls do anything to his hair."
Ms Newton said she was sick of getting broken into.
"We have boarded up the shop, so there is not much more we can do," she said.
Ms Newton's husband Ben, who posted the video on PHAW, said he would remove the footage from Facebook on one condition.
"I will remove these [posts] if u come and repair damage done to our door, and pick up your s--t," he posted.
Perth Have a Whinge users reacted with a mix of disgust and confusion to the post, videos and related photos, although at least one managed to see a funny side to things.
"Those shoes totally don't go with that outfit," she wrote.
