OR report it to the Sumter County Sheriff's office.


Or copy this whole thread and give it to the neighbor.


The redistribution of the dog's feces is only venting, poor taste, not gonna work, and really get everyone so mad that no one gives a damn.


Old stubborn people rarely will change their ways or their minds. Living in a neighborhood with constant tension and aggravation is not my idea of a retirement I want.


The local ordinances have been breached and the deed restrictions as well. Call deed restrictions, NOT Community Watch. Call the sheriff if you can show proof with a photograph. Good luck.
AND, since you have to live with these people (or behind them, as it were...), taking such strong actions as throwing feces or causing their dog pain is going to make the rest of your retirement a bit more difficult than calling Animal Control. And it may even horrify the neighbors you do get like.
