A few years back I was targeted with a l@ser when flying an SEP on the approach into EDLP at night; fortunately I had my GoPro recording at the time; this also recorded GPS data available. From the footage, the police were able to identify which building the laser had been aimed from. Unfortunately the building was a residential complex of a number of flats so they couldn't identify the culprit definitively in order to press charges but the Police did advise that they had 'knocked on a few doors' and since then, the reports of lasers targeting aircraft at that location had stopped.
