Well, if you know who the offender is you can always put it in a bag with a
letter and leave it in their mail box. The letter goes something like...
Dear Neighbor, I noticed that you dropped this when you were walking past my
house. I know that you would not want to loose such valuable property so I
took the initiative to return it to you.

....you could go further by opening a contract with this person....you can
say, This time the service is free, next time a service charge of $100
applies. Keep a record of when they do it again, if they persist you'll
have built up a large enough claim to make it worth bringing them to small
claim court to collect.

Another cure, if the dog is roaming free and you don't know where it comes
from but it constantly craps on your lawn (and the dog is not vicious) put
the crap in a plastic lunch bag and tie it to the dogs collar. That usually
works becuase the owner has to deal with it and if they care about their dog
they will be glad that it was not something harmful instead.

Cheers...R

Do like I did and it solved the problem. Find out whose dog it is

the **** in their driveway and get the message. My case is now
solved!

Actually, you can get fined for doing that. It's just as illegal to
dump dog droppings in thier yard (whether or not it actually comes out
of your dog or not) as it is for them to have their dog deposit it in
yours.


Perhaps you can technically get fined, but who's going to complain,
the original offender?

"Officer, I let my dog **** on this guy's lawn, and he put it on my
property!"

Heh. First of all, it's more likely going to be "Officer, I don't know
what's
going on, my dog NEEEEHVVVVVERRR **** on his property, but this nutcase is
putting dog**** on *my* property". (What - someone like that wouldn't
lie??
Heh.) *If* there's property to be spoken of. Again - look at the
original post
- these are dogowners from a nearby apartment house complex.

Secondly, it's not a strong situation - even if the dogowner is honest and
he's
another homeowner, the *best* you can claim is that 'he did it first' -
which in
the eyes of the law isn't as strong a point as it is to 5 year old
squabbling
siblings and certain posters here. It is just plain two offences; two
offenders.

Not great.

sooo
irritating, isn't it ;-)
